Ahdaaf Dragon Mart 2

Ahdaaf Dragon Mart 2 is the outdoor padel arm of Ahdaaf Sports Club, one of Dubai’s longest-running social sports operators. The club sits on the rooftop of the Dragon Mart 2 car park on Ras Al Khor Road (E44), International City, Dubai.

Ahdaaf Dragon Mart 2 padel gives players a rooftop setting with open-air courts and views across International City. It is a distinctive place to play in the eastern corridor of the city.

Ahdaaf has been running football operations since 2009 and added padel to its offering in 2021. The Dragon Mart 2 branch focuses exclusively on outdoor padel, complementing the brand’s indoor courts at its Al Quoz venue. Between the two locations, Ahdaaf Sports Club covers both indoor and outdoor play across Dubai.

The padel courts

The Dragon Mart 2 venue has three outdoor panoramic padel courts. All three are doubles-sized with crystal-type synthetic grass surfaces. The panoramic glass walls give an open feel, and the rooftop position means good airflow during cooler months.

Courts are floodlit for evening play, with sessions available until 1 AM. The lighting setup supports the venue’s early-morning-to-late-night schedule, which is particularly useful during Dubai’s hotter months when players prefer dawn or post-sunset slots.

Rackets are available to hire at AED 27 per session. Padel balls can be purchased on site for AED 37. Players who bring their own equipment can head straight to the courts after checking in.

Booking padel and access

Courts can be booked online through Playtomic. Off-peak rates run at AED 38 per person per hour from Sunday to Friday. Peak-hour sessions between 6 PM and midnight are AED 48 per person per hour.

A mid-range slot from 4 PM to 6 PM is available at AED 30 per person per hour. Live rates and real-time availability show at the booking step on Playtomic.

The venue is open every day from 4:00 AM to 1:00 AM. To reach the courts, head to Dragon Mart 2 on Ras Al Khor Road and take the ramp or lift to the fourth-floor rooftop. Dragon Mart provides free parking across its surface lots.

For direct enquiries, call 050 344 5490 or the Ahdaaf hotline on 800-AHDAAF (800-243-223). Email bookings and questions can be sent to contact@ahdaaf.ae. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid an AED 60 fee.

Padel programme and social

Ahdaaf runs coaching sessions through certified instructors at both its venues. Group clinics and private lessons are available. Contact the club for specific coach names and tiered pricing. The venue runs coaching for all ability levels - see the coaching tab for details.

The club organises regular padel tournaments, including themed community events and corporate tournament packages. Ahdaaf’s events team has over a decade of experience running sports competitions, from casual social leagues to branded corporate days.

Weekly social matches bring together players from across Dubai, and the rooftop setting at Dragon Mart 2 adds atmosphere to evening events. The on-site cafe offers drinks and light refreshments. Changing facilities are available on site.

Best for

Ahdaaf Dragon Mart 2 suits players who prefer outdoor padel and are based in International City, Al Warsan, or the eastern side of Dubai. The early opening hours are a draw for dawn players avoiding the midday heat, while the late closing makes it practical for after-work sessions.

The venue works well for casual groups and pay-and-play visitors, with Playtomic booking removing the need for membership. Corporate teams looking for a tournament venue with full event support will find Ahdaaf’s experience in that space a clear strength.

Players who want indoor courts or a wider range of on-site amenities may prefer Ahdaaf’s Al Quoz branch or one of Dubai’s larger multi-sport clubs. But for straightforward outdoor padel on a rooftop with competitive pricing, this venue delivers.

Ahdaaf offers padel coaching through certified instructors for all skill levels, including group clinics and private lessons.
