Make sure you check out Dubai Sports World sometime this month. It opened for the season on June 1 and will wrap up on September 2. The venue has it all from football, basketball and cricket to something ping pong, a Ninja Warrior course and a trampoline park.

You can book your sport and spots online, and also find like-minded players. DSW also have an app that you can download to make things easier. The prices are reasonable as well; booking out the cricket pitch would set you back approximately Dh95, the tennis court Dh140, and table tennis tables Dh0.
