From waterparks to Dubai Miracle Garden, UAE residents can save on some of the city’s most beloved experiences

Some of Dubai’s top attractions are currently offering free entry right now, giving back to residents and inviting them to experience some of the city’s top leisure treasures without spending a dirham.

From iconic water parks to blooming wonderful gardens, here are six Dubai attractions offering free entry right now.

Aquaventure World

Home to some of the most daring water rides on the planet, Aquaventure World is a thrill-seeker’s paradise. Towering slides send riders plunging through shark-filled lagoons, while lazy rivers, private beaches and splash zones cater to a more relaxed pace, so however you’re looking to spend the day, it’s a space that caters to all. To give back to the city until Sunday, March 22, there will be a limited number of free tickets released daily, which you’ll need to secure online. T&Cs: Valid for UAE residents and visitors, maximum of four complimentary tickets per order. Free tickets must be purchased online in advance, with a limited number available per day

Dubai Miracle Garden

Dubai Miracle Garden

A vibrant explosion of colour in the middle of the desert, Dubai Miracle Garden features more than 150 million flowers arranged into giant sculptures and themed displays. Expect towering floral castles, heart-shaped archways and even a life-size aircraft covered entirely in blooms. It’s one of the most photogenic attractions in the city and a seasonal favourite for visitors.

Dates: March 15 to 31 T&Cs: Free entry for UAE residents daily until the end of March, simply present your Emirates ID at the counter to receive a complimentary ticket.

House of Hype

House of Hype is a high-energy immersive playground packed with neon lights, digital art and futuristic interactive rooms. Located at Dubai Mall, visitors of all ages can wander through themed spaces designed for social media moments, gaming and creative experiences that blur the line between entertainment and art installation.

Dates: March 15 to 22 T&Cs: 50 free tickets available per day, tickets are given first come, first serve, and must be dressed in all the colours of the UAE flag to secure free tickets.

Jungle Bay Waterpark

Jungle Bay

Inspired by the whitewashed villages of the Greek islands, Jungle Bay Waterpark at Destination Mina Seyahi blends laid-back Mediterranean style with family-friendly fun. The park features bright blue slides, splash zones and a relaxing wave pool set against a breezy beachfront backdrop. A charming alternative to the city’s larger waterparks, families can enjoy free entry until March 31 to the waterpark and resort beach, plus more perks like 50% off watersports. Marriott Bonvoy members get 20% off food and beverage too.

Labyrinth-like tunnels and glowing chambers surround a massive lagoon filled with sharks, rays and thousands of colourful marine species. Ancient ruins, dramatic lighting and themed storytelling make it feel like you’re wandering through a long-lost underwater civilisation.

Dates: March 10 to 22 T&Cs: Valid for UAE residents and visitors, maximum of four complimentary tickets per order. Free tickets must be purchased online in advance, with a limited number available per day

People Are Blaming Cheap Shampoo For Causing Male Pattern Baldness
People Are Blaming Cheap Shampoo For Causing Male Pattern Baldness
It’s a running joke (and arguably a pretty tired one, at this point) that men don’t know how to take care of themselves. Across the internet, you’ll find loads of videos of young women trying to teach their boyfriends the basics of skin care. Commonly, the men have never heard of moisturizer; some don’t even know to wash their faces. Personal care brands famously sell those 3-in-1 (or 4, or 5…) combo products that combine shampoo, conditioner and body wash — presumably because when you’re a man, you don’t have time to use three different products to serve three discrete purposes, I guess. Never mind that shampoo and conditioner aren’t even meant to go on the same parts of your hair.
