Nature enthusiasts, families with kids, and anyone who loves to relax on a welcome patch of grass whilst in the desert locality of Dubai will love getting to know the verdant surrounds of Safa Park. The park is not too far from any Palm Jumeirah hotel set within the beautiful Palm Jumeirah Island, and if you are seeking luxury accommodation in Dubai consider the Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa to host you and the family during your time here. With four points of entry at Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Hadiqa Road, Al Wasl Road, and 55th street, Safa Park is easily reachable at any point, and its central location is a true boon for those seeking an easy escape whilst in the city. Within, you can stroll and relax in the midst of three scenic lakes, and rest underneath the shady nirvana afforded by almost 17,000 trees and bushes. Verdant lawns carpet almost 80% of the park’s expanse, as well as a small forest-like area. Those who fancy a light walk can hike up a hill that offers some of the most panoramic vistas of the park, the gleaming outline of the city lingering in the distance. Decorating one side of the hill is a silvery waterfall that empties out into the largest lake on this oasis, and you will also see a beautiful fountain as well as boats that offer tours of the park. So bring family and friends and relax and unwind in this welcome space of green that affords some much-needed communion with nature when the concrete jungle gets a little too much to handle.
