Free things to do in Dubai

5 museums and landmarks in Dubai are recorded as free entry by OpenStreetMap contributors, and 50 parks, viewpoints and beaches cost nothing by their nature. 16 of them give opening hours.

Contributors marked these as charging no admission. Museums and landmarks only: a zero here is a fact about the place, not an assumption about its kind.

Free by their nature rather than by a tag, so nobody checked these one by one — but a park being free needs no evidence.

Opening hours come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date. A place is only marked open on Sunday when its record says so plainly.
