Where should I park for Ain Dubai?

What time does Bluewaters close?
Shops close at 23:00 Monday to Thursday and at midnight Friday to Sunday. Restaurants run until midnight every day.
Can I validate parking at two shops on Bluewaters?
No. Bluewaters states you can only validate your parking at one participating retailer.
What are Bluewaters Island's working hours?
They differ by day. Bluewaters Island does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.
Is there parking at Bluewaters Island?
"Per Hour AED 20/-" — Bluewaters' own parking page. One tariff is published for all three car parks: The Wharf basement 1, The Wharf basement 2 and The Boulevard ground parking. Parking tariffs in Dubai are set by the operator and change without notice.
Is Bluewaters Island open today?
Bluewaters Island publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.
Where can I read reviews of Bluewaters Island?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
