Getting around and shopping

Alongside the Fish & Vegetable Market in Al Dhannah, there is a large supermarket, a bakery and several restaurants. Shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood may change, so keep this in mind when making specific plans. For information on getting around Ruwais, the Al Dhannah visitor guide provides details about bus routes. As route information can change, it is advisable to check the latest information before travelling.

The Heritage Village is opposite the Traditional Souq in Ruwais. Their position opposite one another gives you a clear reference point when locating both places on your map. This information about their location does not indicate opening hours or event programmes, so plan your visit using up-to-date information.

Parks and outdoor activities

Ruwais Central Park has community water features, barbecue areas, exercise equipment, basketball and football courts, and children's play areas. The Central Park in Ruwais has received the Green Flag Award, an international quality mark for public parks and open spaces. Restrictions may apply to certain playground activities in connection with COVID measures.

Al Dhannah2 Park has a jogging track approximately 1.6 kilometres long. It offers a different focus from the various sports facilities at Central Park: Al Dhannah has a running track, while Central Park combines exercise equipment with basketball and football courts. This lets you distinguish between the options based on the type of activity you would like to plan.
