A Comprehensive Guide to Fitness

Under the #DubaiDestinations campaign, Brand Dubai—a branch of the Government of Dubai Media Office—released an interactive digital guide available in both English and Arabic.

This guide features an extensive selection of indoor sports hubs, inspiring individuals of all fitness levels to adopt a more active lifestyle.

From football, basketball, and padel to indoor golf, ice skating, martial arts, yoga, spin classes, and bowling, the guide highlights exceptional venues across the city.

Among them, Dubai Sports World (DSW) remains a key attraction and a hub for year-round fitness enthusiasts.

Dubai Sports World at the Forefront

Dubai Sports World (DSW), hosted at the expansive Dubai World Trade Centre, continues to spearhead Dubai’s indoor sports movement.

Now in its August 2025 edition, DSW spans 25,000 m² and boasts over 40 courts for activities such as badminton, basketball, cricket, football, padel, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, and pickleball.

This initiative aligns with Dubai Sports Council’s vision of ensuring fitness opportunities are accessible and engaging for Dubai’s diverse population.

Complementary Community Initiatives

The guide works in tandem with ongoing efforts led by the Dubai Sports Council, such as the “Our Summer is Sporty” campaign launched in June 2025.

This community-driven initiative includes unique fitness experiences like indoor mall races, snow duathlon events at Ski Dubai, and outdoor sports camps in Hatta, catering to children, seniors, and individuals of determination alike.

Together, these programs support Dubai’s strategic objective of becoming a global hub for sustainable and all-season well-being, in line with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision for a thriving and active city.

Staying Active Despite the Heat

Dubai’s focus on indoor sports and fitness has built a robust ecosystem that ensures residents and tourists can maintain their health, stay socially connected, and foster active living, regardless of challenging summer conditions.

With the updated “Indoor Sports Destinations” guide, the dynamic Dubai Sports World, and inclusive fitness campaigns, summer 2025 is shaping up to be a season of activity, growth, and community engagement.
