If you’re staying at Ivory Grand, you’re already in one of the most convenient locations in Dubai. Al Barsha may not always make it to the top of a tourist bucket list—but that’s exactly why it surprises people. It’s a mix of local charm, modern convenience, and quiet pockets that make you go, “Wait, this is Al Barsha?”
Here’s a quick round-up of must-visit places in Al Barsha—all within a breezy 15-minute radius of the hotel.
1. Mall of the Emirates – Because You Can’t Skip This One
We know—this one’s obvious. But skipping Mall of the Emirates while staying in Al Barsha would be like skipping coffee on a Monday. Home to luxury brands, quirky pop-up stores, and even Ski Dubai (yes, indoor skiing in the desert), it’s an easy walk or a 5-minute drive from Ivory Grand.
2. Al Barsha Pond Park – A Rare Pocket of Calm
If you’ve had your share of city hustle, this one’s your break. Al Barsha Pond Park is where locals jog, families picnic, and time slows down a little. Rent a bike or just walk the loop around the pond. It’s not some glitzy attraction—but maybe that’s why it feels authentic.
This calm spot is a big reason why Hotel Apartments Al Barsha are popular with families and long-term guests.
3. Dubai Miracle Garden – Slightly Unreal, Fully Magical
Open during cooler months (roughly November to May), this place is a surreal burst of color. Think: 150 million flowers shaped into peacocks, castles, even A380 airplanes. You’ve probably seen it on Instagram. What you might not know is it’s only about 10-12 minutes from your stay.
If you’re into visuals (or just into impressing your Instagram followers), this is a must.
4. Alserkal Avenue – Where Art Gets Gritty and Cool
This one’s a curveball. Technically in Al Quoz, but just about 10-15 minutes away, Alserkal Avenue is Dubai’s creative heartbeat. Industrial warehouses converted into galleries, indie cinemas, vegan cafés, and homegrown brands—this is where the cool kids hang out.
One trip here and you’ll realize why Al Barsha hotel apartments Dubai are a great base for more than just shopping.
5. My Govinda’s – A Restaurant in Al Barsha That Stands Out
There are plenty of restaurants in Al Barsha, but My Govinda’s is different. Vegetarian, sattvic, clean-eating kind of different. Even if you’re a full-time meat-eater, give their fusion Indian menu a go—stuffed parathas, quinoa biryani, and desserts that taste way too good to be guilt-free.
A restaurant in Al Barsha that’s as much about soul as it is about spice? That’s rare.
