Move in your city

Move in your city is a guide to the places people in the UAE and Saudi Arabia walk, run and cycle. It covers beach tracks, parks, desert trails and the indoor loops that keep people moving through summer, from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Riyadh and Jeddah. Each guide describes what a place is, when it is most comfortable to go given the season and the time of day, what facilities it has, and how to get there. Distances and lengths appear only where an official source confirms them. Opening hours change with the season and during Ramadan, so every guide asks you to check them before you go. The heat decides a great deal here. For much of the year, many people move early in the morning or after sunset, and the cooler months bring a different set of places within reach. The articles take that into account rather than treating the Gulf like anywhere else. There is no plan to follow and no target to hit. The point is to help you find somewhere near you that you enjoy going back to, whether that is a shaded park after work or a long stretch of sand on a winter weekend. Sisly reads activity against your own normal, so a new route shows up as a change in your week, not as a score.
