Quiet, relaxing and beautiful, Umm Suqeim encapsulates the convergence of suburban life and a beachside town in Dubai. With palm tree-lined streets and some of the city's most visited beaches a short car ride away, this neighborhood exudes a Sunday morning vibe. What started as a residential area composed mostly of large villas with private backyards, Umm Suqeim has since been filled with little boutiques, restaurants, and cafés with little pops of character that might take you by surprise.
Lined with little restaurants, cafes and juice bars, Kite Beach is a haven for beach lovers. The open waters are ideal for kitesurfers from the nearby kitesurfing school, for paddle-boarding or even water skiing. With a running track, beach volleyball courts and bungee jumping zone, there’s lots to do around here. Filled with tourists and residents alike, you’ll find it hard to claim a spot on this beach on a beautiful day, so go early.
