Al Mamzar Park is a beachfront park in Dubai, near the Sharjah border, with beaches and green fields. It’s a practical outing from Sharjah if you want time outdoors; before setting off, check which Al Mamzar destination you mean, since Sharjah has a separate Al Mamzar Beach.
- Location: Al Mamzar, Dubai, close to the Sharjah border.
- Typical park hours: weekdays 8:00am–10:00pm; Saturday–Sunday 8:00am–11:00pm.
- Car entry: AED 30; children up to 2 years old enter free.
What to expect at Al Mamzar Park
Al Mamzar Beach Park combines beachfront recreation with broad green spaces. Dubai Municipality describes beaches and acres of green fields, with activities for water-sports users, beachgoers, families and groups. A UNESCO monitoring report describes the park as a 106-hectare beachfront area with recreational spaces.
The park’s history goes back to 1975, its establishment year in Dubai Municipality’s park statistics. The Al Mamzar Smart Park initiative opened in 2018, with Dubai Municipality, the Roads and Transport Authority and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority named as stakeholders.
Keep the location distinction clear when planning: Dubai’s Al Mamzar Beach Park is not Sharjah’s Al Mamzar Beach. The two are in the same general border area, but they are separate places.
How do you get from Sharjah to Al Mamzar Park?
Al Mamzar Park is about a 24-minute drive from Crystal Plaza Hotel. Use the park’s Dubai location when setting your destination, rather than searching for Sharjah’s Al Mamzar Beach.

Facilities, entry and park rules
Dubai’s parks portal gives the Al Mamzar car-entry fee as AED 30 and says children up to 2 years old enter free. It also identifies vehicle categories that are allowed or prohibited, so check Dubai Municipality’s official information if you’re driving a vehicle other than a standard car.
Dubai Municipality reports that Al Mamzar Beach has an emergency evacuation system with visual warning lights, audio announcements and directional guidance, as well as vibration alerts for visitors with hearing impairments.
The municipality also says specially designed beach and floating wheelchairs are available at selected locations, but does not specifically confirm their availability at Al Mamzar; contact the municipality if you need to check access arrangements.
For a different outing, Sharjah’s Al Mamzar Beach is near Maryam Island, Sharjah Aquarium, shops, cafes and restaurants. Sharjah’s tourism authority identifies volleyball, football and basketball among the activities there, and says hook fishing is allowed. The guide to planning a visit to Sharjah city centre covers another way to spend time in the emirate.
Choosing a time to visit
Dubai Municipality gives Al Mamzar Beach Park daily hours of 8:00am–10:00pm, while the parks portal gives park hours of 8:00am–10:00pm on weekdays and 8:00am–11:00pm on Saturday and Sunday. The portal also identifies Monday and Wednesday as ladies’ days, from 8:00am to 10:00pm. Check the official site before you go.
For a visit that includes both green space and the beach, plan your time around the park’s hours and the activities you intend to do. If you’re unsure whether your destination is the Dubai park or Sharjah beach, confirm the location before leaving. Getting around Sharjah by public transport and other options can also help with planning the journey.
