Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is a perfect mix of traditions and modernity. While getting around in this city, you'll find modern complexes with towering skyscrapers co-existing with the historic neighbourhoods. However, what would come as a surprise to you are the considerably large green spaces that have been created in different parts of the city in the form of beautiful green parks. Some of them provide the much-needed respite from crowds, while others can be the ideal spots for recreational activities.

One such park you can explore during your cheap holidays to Dubai is the Dubai Safari Park. It houses over 3,000 animals and is one of the latest attractions in this Emirati city. The park covers a vast area of 119 hectares and gives visitors the chance to witness the regional species of animals as well as the ones brought from other countries. Some of these animals were rescued for rehabilitation and a few others donated by several zoos. Dubai Safari Park is divided into different zones or 'villages', which can be explored using solar-powered vehicles. They include the Asian, Arabian, African, and Safari villages.

Hatta Hill Park is yet another fascinating park you can explore while holidaying in this city. It was built in 2004 by the Dubai Municipality to add some greenery and recreational spaces for people residing in the area. This park covers an area of more than 63,500 square kilometres and has become a popular spot for picnics and barbeques. Children can have a wonderful time in the park's playing field. The Hatta Hill Park also includes some running tracks and sports fields. During your visit to this fantastic recreational area, you can also get to the highest point of the mountain located in Hatta town and enjoy awe-inspiring views of the surroundings from a tower.

If you're in this city along with your entire family, including children, your kids would be delighted to visit Abu Hail Park. This is one of the popular attractions for children and includes courts for basketball, football, lawn tennis, and volleyball. Adults who wish to enjoy some workout would benefit from a synthetic running track and a good selection of fitness equipment provided in this park. You can also find a variety of indigenous trees and shrubs in Abu Hail Park that provides natural shades for relaxation.

Situated between Al Wasi Road and Sheikh Zayed Road is Al Khazzan Park, which can also be a great option for children. It is one of the ideal spots where they can have loads of fun on a warm afternoon. Although it is a small park, Al Khazzan would give you the chance to spend some quality time with children if you are holidaying in the Emirati city with your whole family. If you wish to go jogging early in the morning or in the evening and are in search of an ideal place for it, head to Al Ittihad Park. The presence of over 60 species of indigenous plants and trees in the park would make jogging a pleasant experience.
