Tips for Playing Padel in Dubai

- ✓Corporate discount cards (Esaad, Fazaa) work at Just Padel locations across Dubai.
- ✓Just Padel charges per 45-minute slot, not per hour. Factor this into price comparisons.
- ✓Download the Playtomic app before you arrive — it is the easiest way to find and book courts across Dubai.
