10 pools for under Dhs100
6 Comments 15 June 2011
On our last count, there were nearly 600 hotels in Dubai. By our calculations, that means there must be at least 600 pools by now. And that’s only hotel pools – there are thousands of residences in Dubai, most boasting their own pools, which surely pushes the total number of swimming pools in the city towards 2,000. But why does it matter, and why are we insisting on using the word ‘pool’ so much? Because there’s no better way to combat the heat than basking in a chilled pool (there we go again).
Yet with the exception of sneaking into one of the JBR pools for free (don’t do this, it’s naughty), there are very few swimming pools you can access without having to fork out at least Dhs200. What’s more, despite Dubai hosting the 2010 FINA Swimming World Championships (the venue was drained to make way for, um, handball), there aren’t many public pools in the city. Time Out has thus rounded up 10 swimming pools around town that you can use for Dhs100 or less per day (hurrah!). Some are in hotels, others are in parks – all are a great way to keep cool this summer.

Anyone using the pools at JBR whom does not live in the assigned buildings and is caught the police are normally called. Its not worth the risk.

Why even mention sneaking into the JBR pools- I live here- this is so totally irresponsible of you
Thank you so much we will now have even more people who are not supposed be in our pools using the facilities we pay for
