Is Kite Beach better than JBR?

Dubai locals and residents have no doubt: Kite Beach is better than JBR!

Natural vs. Artificial: Kite Beach boasts an untouched natural coastline, providing a genuine seaside experience. JBR, being artificial, has dirtier waters.

Crowds: Kite Beach is generally less crowded, ideal for those seeking serenity and space, whereas JBR tends to be bustling.

Open Sea Advantage: Kite Beach offers an unobstructed connection to the open sea without construction in view, keeping the ambiance pure.

Easy Parking: While JBR boasts shopping and a cinema, it often means busier parking. At Kite Beach, parking is notably more accessible.

Equal Amenities: Both beaches have cafes, restaurants, and food trucks, so you aren't missing out on those comforts at Kite Beach.

In essence, for a true beach experience with ease and tranquility, Kite Beach is the clear winner.
