The Dubai Canal Walk is, as its name suggests, a very pleasant walk alongside the canal. The walk starts near the Business Bay subway station and allows you to follow the Dubai Canal for about 3 km. You can walk on both sides of the canal, crossing one of the 3 very beautifully designed bridges along the way. Although the place is still under construction, it already offers a wonderful panorama over skyscrapers and the Burj Khalifa tower.
Tip: you should do this walk at night! Undoubtedly one of the best free viewpoints on Dubai’s skyline. On the canal, you can also enjoy a diner cruise and Abra tours.
The boats pass under an artificial waterfall, whose “curtain” opens automatically to let the boats pass.
