Tennis is very popular both as an amateur sport in the Emirates and as part of the professional sporting scene. Hardly surprising, as the City of Gold hosts the ATP Tennis Open. Sports enthusiasts here find the game combines well with that other hard-driving racquet sport: squash.

That's why you'll find the best tennis and squash courts in the health clubs that dot beach strips across the Emirates. Take advantage of the cool evening air and get a workout under floodlights on the tennis courts, or step into any of the adjacent squash enclosures, and unwind in a pool later.
