Dubai Walk will help promote healthier lifestyle: Residents

Sharing her enthusiasm, Dubai resident Oliv Matol told Khaleej Times: "Dubai Walk will enhance my walking schedule by providing more choices of trails and paths."

The 64-year-old Filipino expat added: "Safety is pivotal for my walks, so having a pleasurable environment will greatly enhance my mental health."

The 6,500km network of modern walkways covering 160 areas was announced last month. The objective is to improve neighbourhood connectivity by creating pathways for runners, cyclists, and e-scooter riders. Focusing on active lifestyles and sustainable transport, 'Dubai Walk' will redefine urban mobility and enhance community engagement, offering safer, more enjoyable routes that promote outdoor activities. The project will include the construction of 110 pedestrian bridges and tunnels, 112 km of waterfront pathways, 124 km of green walking trails, and 150 km of rural and mountainous pedestrian paths.
