Explore the Dubai desert on a bike ride

Cycling in Al Qudra cycling track Dubai
Al Qudra Cycling Track is a popular destination among Dubai’s adventure seekers and fitness enthusiasts. With 86km of track and amazing views of the desert, you might catch a glimpse of local wildlife – including the Arabian oryx. The track is popular with both professional and novice riders alike, and is frequented by both individuals and groups of friends. Some say that the best time to ride is at sunrise, because the views and feeling of the morning breeze are unparalleled – but the sunsets are just as beautiful. Ensure you plan ahead, as this area has few taxis and much of the track is not illuminated after dark.

Sunsets are absolutely spectacular from Love Lake Dubai, where everything is dedicated to love – with sculptures of hearts and even trees manicured in a way to spell out the word ‘love’ when seen from above. This scenic spot in the middle of Al Qudra gets its name from its unique shape that resembles two large, interconnected hearts. Visitors can picnic or set up barbecues in designated areas and take in the greenery while keeping an eye out for the wildlife, including many different kinds of birds.
