Starting near the Burj Al Arab and passing through Kite Beach, stretching all the way down to Jumeirah 1, the seven-kilometre track is one of Dubai’s most scenic routes. It also has an all-important sea breeze.
The running track has a soft surface and distance markers.
The track had been closed in line with coronavirus safety measures taken across the city, and while the public beaches along the track remain closed, visitors are now able to make use of the running path again.
Social distancing rules still apply, with all runners and walkers asked to keep a two-metre distance, and ensure face masks are worn correctly, covering the nose and mouth.
Plenty of Dubai residents made use of the newly opened track at the weekend, and regular patrols by police and security guards ensured measures were adhered to.
