Mushrif Hub is the outdoor activity centre inside Mushrif National Park in Dubai. Dubai Municipality launched it in May 2025 as a single starting point for the park’s mountain bike trails, hiking trail and family activities, with food outlets, changing rooms, showers and a prayer room in one place. Lighting added around the Hub means you can keep enjoying it after sunset.

What you can do from Mushrif Hub
The Hub is the starting point for most of the park’s outdoor activities.
Mountain biking (50 km)
Mushrif Park’s 50 km mountain bike network starts and finishes beside the Hub. Choose Green for beginners, Blue for intermediate riders or Red for advanced riders. See our full Mushrif Park mountain bike trails guide for routes, distances and rental.
Skills area
Next to the Hub is a 500-metre one-way skills area with Green, Blue and Red lanes. It’s a safe place to practise braking, cornering and small obstacles before you head onto the main trail.
Hiking trail (9.7 km)
The 9.7 km hiking trail, with an easy Yellow track and a tougher Orange track, also starts near the Hub. Read our Mushrif Park hiking trail guide for the map, rules and tips.
Young Rangers Cycling Trail (kids)
Opened in December 2025, the Young Rangers Cycling Trail is a 1.5 km route at the Hub designed for children under 12. It has balance beams, wooden rollers, log rolls, side-sloped turns and rock garden sections. It is free and open daily from sunrise to sunset.
102-metre bridge
A short ride or walk from the Hub takes you to the new 102-metre bridge, opened in August 2026. It has separate lanes for cyclists and hikers and links two sections of the trail network.
Events and group rides
Dubai Municipality planned the Hub as a venue for community sports events, including cycling and running races. Local bike shops also run regular group rides from Mushrif.
