    Chilled Boat Cruise
    I went there to start my vacation in style. We were on a boat cruise with the family. They offered an international buffet, the cruise was along the creek which lasted well over an hour. They had music and friendly staff. I loved the experience but you must only go during the winter.

    unforgettable evening
    As the sun begins to set, the Dubai Canal comes alive with a kaleidoscope of colors. The surrounding buildings and bridges are illuminated, casting a radiant glow over the water, creating a magical atmosphere. The glittering reflections and shimmering lights create a mesmerizing backdrop for an unforgettable evening.

    Enjoy camping with ducks, birds and flamingos
    Visited for many times in winter to have a fresh air and go on a drive. Nice experience to camp and watch sunrise and sunset with the ducks, Birds and flamingo.
    A place that must visit with your friends and family in Winter in Dubai away from the city and crowded places and cars.

    Lovely place to visit alone, with family or friends.
    There are just so many good reasons to visit this venue.
    There is ample parking available and its free too.
    Its accessible easily with an SUV or a 4wheel or a bit of a bumpy drive in a sedan.
    The lake area is HUGE well maintained and allows pets (few places left like these).
    Its open 24 hours, they allow barbecue but no open camp fires, you can easily camp out in the green areas or the sand side too.
    They have swans, big fish in the lakes, lovely place to watch the sunset and rise.
    Avoid weekends as its fairly busy especially due to weather getting better now.
    No cafes, shops so carry basic stuff IF u plan to have a picnic but PLEASE clean up after u finish.
    Have a lovely time as we did.
