14 June 2024 Written by Arpan

When searching for a home, it's important to find a place that suits not only you and your family but also your pets. Thankfully, there are numerous pet friendly apartments in Dubai that cater to the needs of your four-legged friends. Many of these apartments are conveniently located near dog parks and green spaces. Here are some of the top pet-friendly areas in Dubai where you can find the ideal apartment for you and your pets.

1. ​Al Barari

2. Business Bay

Business Bay

As one of the key urban districts in Dubai with a sprawl of towering apartment blocks and office buildings, Business Bay does not at first glance seem to be the friendliest place for pets. However, there are several buildings in this area that allow pets to be kept, and are accompanied by open squares and gardens. And you also have the option of going over to the Dubai Canal and taking a stroll along the boardwalk, enjoying the waterfront atmosphere.

3. Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai

One of the most prestigious areas in Dubai is also one of the best areas for pets. The heart of Downtown  includes the gorgeous Burj Park, which is an ideal spot for pet owners. You also have the beautiful Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, which winds its way around the district, and there are buildings with dog parks located near the border of Downtown and the neighbouring Business Bay.

4. Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina

One of Dubai’s most popular residential communities, Dubai Marina offers plenty of pet-friendly options. Unfortunately the heart of the district - the 7 km Marina Walk - is no longer accessible for pets (a step that had to be taken due to irresponsible pet owners leaving messes behind), so it’s more suited for smaller, indoor pets. Though if you want to take your dog for a walk, there is a large grassy area on the northeastern corner of the Marina (near Zero Gravity) where they can stretch their legs.

5. Dubai Motor City

Dubai Motor City

Motor City is a charming community of low-rise apartment blocks that features plenty of greenery and a lot of walking space. It features a villa neighbourhood known as Green Community, but even outside of that, you have a space that is quite accommodating for pedestrians of both the two-legged and four-legged variety.

6. JLT

Jumeirah Lakes Towers

This sprawling neighbourhood gives you an abundance of space to walk around explore, with three-star shaped lakes at its centre and corresponding waterfront promenades. You will also find parks, outdoor gyms and jogging trails around the area in case you want to have a quick workout with your furry friends in tow. 

7. Palm Jumeirah

Palm Jumeirah

If you live in one of the stunning villas on the Palm’s fronds, then you have incredible stretches of private beach and spacious backyards to enjoy, but even the apartment complexes on the island are well-suited for pets. And if that’s not exercise enough, then you can go up to the Palm Boardwalk that spans the sweeping Palm Crescent.
