Mushrif Park, Public park in eastern Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Mushrif Park is a large public green space in Dubai with natural gardens, sports courts, swimming pools, and recreational areas for visitors. The park contains different zones with various activities and facilities to explore.
The land was already a popular leisure spot for residents before Dubai Municipality turned it into a park in 1980; the Russian source gives that year, while the English one says 1982. A major expansion followed in 1989. The site lies about 16 km east of the traditional centre, near Dubai International Airport.
The International Village displays traditional houses from cultures around the world. You can walk through different styles of homes and see how people built and lived in various regions.
The park opens in the morning and stays open until late evening with multiple entrances and parking areas. Wear comfortable shoes since there is much to explore and some paths can be sunny.
The park lies close to Dubai International Airport, which made it a local spot for aircraft spotting: visitors watch planes on approach from the park grounds. Its International Village holds 13 models of traditional houses from around the world, and a 10-km hiking trail crosses the grounds.
