Ride together. Meet there.
The home of Sunday coffee.
Al Jiyad is the destination for CSD’s Legendary Coffee Ride. The route is approximately 60 km return from BOTS at Al Qudra, with pace groups leaving in reverse order so riders can arrive together.
It also gives families a useful alternative: one person can join the CSD ride while other family members travel independently, book a horse-riding experience and meet the group at Al Jiyad for coffee.
Part of the landscape
More than a café stop.
The journey to Al Jiyad moves from Al Qudra’s cycle track into a working desert destination. Horses and local wildlife give visiting riders and families a view of Dubai that is very different from the city skyline.
Respect the animals, staff, riders and stable areas. Follow directions on arrival and keep bicycles in the areas indicated by the venue.
