We visited this beach because we wanted to experience a beach in Dubai. It was the perfect beach for us, as we wanted a quiet getaway, with free parking (we took the bus), free showers and changing rooms, air-conditioned toilets and trash cans, and even lifeguards and cleaning staff. On the other hand, there are no umbrellas for shade, no restaurants, and no music playing, so those looking for a lively atmosphere with drinks should consider a different, more expensive beach. The waves were calm, so there were many families with children, and the water was warm. The lifeguards seemed to be on duty until 5 PM, as they encouraged people to get out of the water after that time. There was hardly any trash on the beach, and the seawater was clean. We collected some seashells as a memento of our visit. You can also take photos with the Burj Khalifa in the background.
