Cycyling and hiking at Mushrif Park

This beautiful huge park in Mirdif offers many outdoor activities – including several amazing free activities for the whole family. right behind the entrance to the park is the car parking area where the beautiful hike- and cycling tracks start. For safety reasons it is not possible to cycle the tracks within this area with children below 12, however, the paved cycling tracks throughout the park can be cycled with children of any age. There is also a very cool BMX training course where my 4-year-old practiced for hours until I thought it was best to get him out of the sun. conveniently there are cute outdoor cafes right next to this track so you could spend your afternoon sipping iced coffee while the kids practice their cycling skills.

You can bring your own bikes or rent simple but good ones from the shop there at only 50AED an hour. It is also possible to rent baby seats that attach to the bike for children too small to cycle by themselves.
