The fifth season of the ‘World’s Coolest Winter’ campaign, launched under the theme of ‘Green Tourism,’
emphasizes exploring the UAE’s natural wonders, including islands, reserves, oases, mountains, and

biodiversity hotspots that transform into lush green havens during winter.

Organized in collaboration between the Ministry of Economy, the National Agricultural Center and local

tourism authorities, the campaign aims to promote sustainable tourism as part of the UAE’s domestic
tourism strategy.

This strategy, initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and
Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, seeks to develop an integrated tourism ecosystem across

the nation.

The campaign offers visitors and tourists a wealth of entertainment and educational opportunities,

spotlighting the UAE's natural diversity and scenic beauty through unique experiences in nature parks and

eco-attractions.

With cooler temperatures in full swing, there’s no better time to explore one of the many new areas or
revisit an old favourite.

Here is a list of the best green spaces and parks around the country.
