Pickleball arrived in Dubai late, with padel already owning the city's racquet-sport spotlight, but the catch-up has been quick. Picklers opened in Al Quoz in September 2024 as the first dedicated pickleball-only club, six indoor courts kept under climate control because outdoor play in a Gulf summer is not really play. PickleTurf at Port Rashid hosted the Dubai Pickleball Open in May 2025, drawing more than 275 players from over 15 countries. Dubai Sports World keeps temporary courts running through the hottest months at the Trade Centre.
