Cricket

On weekends you’ll see informal cricket games springing up on scratchy patches of open space on the outskirts of the city. Zabeel and Safa parks are favourite spots if you prefer a little more green for your stumps. There are also several small-scale training centres, such as the Emirates Cricket Training Centre (050 497 3461). International matches are regularly hosted in the United Arab Emirates, particularly at the state-of-the-art cricket ground in Dubai Sports City where it’s possible to see some of the world’s best teams in action.
