Due to the efforts of Dubai developers and the municipality, there are quite a few parks and green spaces, where vegetation grows despite the arid climate. Here, you can feel the calming effect of nature, enjoy the invigorating air and take in the beautiful, carefully selected plants.

There are several eco-friendly neighbourhoods especially well known for their green spaces. Take Al Barari with its themed gardens, naturally landscaped lakes and freshwater streams, or the Greens development which is rich in grassy areas. In Emirates Hills, streets are lined with trees, with large parks and 17 lakes. It is also worth mentioning Emirates Living, Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar and Miracle Gardens as well.

It’s not unusual for developers to build residential property in close proximity to nature reserves. For instance, Dubai Creek Harbour is located near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary giving the residents a chance to watch thousands of birds and enjoy walking along specially designed nature trails.

Dubai offers plenty of opportunities to get back to nature, and it’s up to you to choose the one that’s most appealing to you.
