The area is very pet friendly. It’s easy to walk your dog around the neighbourhood there. It’s better if you obviously live there, however, can still walk your dog in the outside areas of that neighbourhood. Some of the coffee shops also welcome dogs. Spill the Bean, for example will even give guest, who have the Flopster app and visit with their dogs a 15% discount, coupon to be redeemed on the app directly.

One of the OG dog-friendly spots in Dubai, the Irish Village has always been a place that is welcoming to all dogs, as long as they are on a leash. They will offer your pup a bowl of water at all the restaurants.

Located in Downtown Dubai is one of the few parks in which dogs can enter and walk. Technically, they can only walk on the pavement, not on the grass and must always be leashed . It’s a great opportunity for your pup to enjoy the Dubai Fountains if that’s something they would care about.

5 – JLT

You can walk your dog between all the clusters in JLT. However, you are not allowed to have dogs in the central JLT Park. All of the other areas are fine. Some of the restaurants also welcome dogs. Here are our favs: Wokyo; Streetery; Cibo Italiano and Betawi
