Starting at 6AM, the not-to-be-missed community events bring an inspiring and memorable opportunity for all ages and abilities to embrace an active lifestyle while staying cool indoors.
Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) as part of a packed DSS schedule of thousands of things to do citywide, the inclusive community events welcome everyone and anyone regardless of age, ability, or skill levels.
