Burj Park
📍 Downtown Dubai, beside Burj Khalifa
Pets: On leash
One of the few public parks in Dubai that allows pets.
Dog-friendly Downtown Dubai and Business Bay
Downtown suits smaller dogs best, but it has a few gems: Burj Park is one of the few public parks in Dubai that lets dogs in, Dubai Canal has waterfront terraces that welcome them, and there's even a pet bistro with an attached spa.

Tips for Downtown & Business Bay
- Malls and the Metro don't allow pets; plan your route on foot or by pet taxi.
- Burj Park gets crowded at fountain-show times; keep your dog close.
