Jubail Mangrove Park Meet up (Beautiful place to explore)

Jubail Mangrove Park Meetup Why this meetup: After our successful Heritage Village walk and Marina boat hangout, we’re heading into the mangroves for a nature-packed afternoon! We’re meeting at 4:00 PM so we can fit in boardwalk exploring, golden-hour photos, and (for those who book) sunset kayaking before dusk. 📅 Date & Time: Saturday, 25 October 2025, 4:00 PM – ~8:00 PM (Abu Dhabi time) 📍 Venue: Jubail Mangrove Park (often mis-typed as “Jabel”) – Al Jubail Island, Abu Dhabi Plus Code / Map hint: GFWP+35, Al Jubail Island. Follow E12 (Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed St) to the Al Jubail Island exit and then signboards for Jubail Mangrove Park. 🎟 Entry Fee: AED 15 per adult for the boardwalk (paid at the park / booking site). Kids pricing may differ. Kayaking/SUP is optional and separately priced by operators. Getting there By car: From city center, take E10 → merge to E12 (Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed St) → Al Jubail Island exit → follow signs to Jubail Mangrove Park. Parking on site. By bus + short taxi: Public transport to the park itself is limited. A practical option is bus toward Yas Island (e.g., routes heading to Yas Mall / Ferrari World), then a 10–15 min taxi to the park. Some listings show a stop served by Bus 187 near the area; however, expect to transfer and still use a taxi for the last leg. Plan ~30–45 mins from central Abu Dhabi by bus+taxi By taxi / ride-hailing: Direct taxi or Careem/Uber to “Jubail Mangrove Park” is the Plan & activities 4:00–4:20 PM: Meet at the main entrance / ticket desk, quick intros & group photo. 4:20–5:30 PM: Boardwalk nature walk (look for flamingos, crabs, and mangrove roots; easy, family-friendly). 5:30–6:45 PM (optional): Sunset Kayaking (pre-book with park operators; guided tours typically ~1.5 hours). If not kayaking, continue boardwalk / café time and sunset shots. ~6:45–7:00 PM: Wrap-up & rides. Why 4 PM? It’s cooler, lighting is perfect for photos, and it lines up nicely with sunset kayak slots while leaving time to enjoy the boardwalk first. jubailisland.ae What to bring Water, hat, sunscreen, light breathable clothes, comfy shoes/sandals.
