Al Ittihad is an extended public park on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
The word "ittihad" in Arabic translates as "union", which, together with the word "park", means the spirit of life in harmony.
Ittihad Park is located on the so-called trunk of the man-made Palma Jumeirah Island and runs along the entire the central part of the trunk for 1.6 kilometers.
The park stretches from the Golden Mile Galleria to Nakheel Mall.

Ittihad is not exactly a park, in the usual sense of the word, rather it is an extended alley along which more than 60 species of trees and plants growing in the UAE are planted. There are also more than 600 palm trees growing in the park, which stretch along the edges of the treadmill, and there are in other parts of the park.
In the park: places to relax, 3.2 kilometers of running and walking paths, awnings, small fountains and playgrounds with swings and slides.
All this makes Ittihad Park one of the favorite places for walking and relaxing on the Palm Jumeirah.
Buildings rise along the alley of the park, in which there are restaurants, cafes, shops, residential residences and apartments, some of which can be book for vacation
