I just arrived in the marina and I am surprised at how few people are out. Are there any good places I can walk to (I am near JBR) where things are happening?

Did you get out at 7 am?
1) Go to Marina Walk, there will be no short of human beings.
2) Try Grand Habtoor
3) Try Grosvenor House

They're all at brunch

thanks for all the question marks. I just went out to a couple of bars and yes there were people. I guess I thought there would be more people walking around in the streets during the day but I have only seen the newly constructed area so I could be way off. Hey, by the way, if anyone is out and wants to meet up for a coffee or something let me know.

You dont get many people walking on the roads here, as you may risk being run over by some maniac drivers and sands are everywhere if you havent noticed. However you will see more people walking on roads in deira / karama area.

maybe they were watching a movie, i am legend was packed :p

To add to that.. If you live in the new areas of dubai, it'll b hard to see anyone walkin on the streets.. but come to Old dubai..( bur dubai, Karama, Deira, Satwa) and u'll find lot of people walking.. infact so much so that u'll start saying 'uff the streets are crowded.'

Maybe you;re in the wrong place at the wrong time....mind you when you see the people out and about......you're in for a treat

People who live in the Marina can afford not to walk, or pay someone to walk for them...

Now theirs a though

haha, unfortunately a cant afford to do much else until i start work, I get to stay here rent free for a while. I went down to the middle of town today and yes, there were lots of people, this is definitely a cool place

Wait until you start paying to stay here...you will change your mind very quickly! Just remember: "Its not real!"

Been to Atlanta in the summer...its much cooler than here. Official summer temperatures here are 43/44 degrees. Real temperatures: 52/53! The humidity is a killer as well. Enjoy!
