Dubai International Airport invites travelers to a free Mallathon walk on Friday.
When and Where the Mallathon Walk Takes Place
The next Dubai Mallathon session is set for Friday, 14 August 2026, inside Terminal 3’s Concourse B. The starting point is the Family Zone near Gate B28, and organizers have opened two two‑hour windows: the first from 7:30 am to 9:30 am, and the second from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.
Walkers can choose between a short 750‑metre route and a longer 1.5‑kilometre course. The shorter option lets those with a tight schedule finish quickly, while the longer path offers a more extended stroll before a flight.
Who Can Join and What to Bring
The event is open to passengers who are already inside the terminal, Dubai Airports employees and members of the oneDXB community. Guests of all ages and abilities are welcome, provided they have the necessary boarding and security clearance to reach Concourse B.
Comfortable clothing and walking shoes are recommended, especially for anyone planning the full 1.5‑kilometre distance. Since the walk runs inside the passenger area, participants can use the time between security checks and boarding to stay active.

Why the Airport Embraced the Mallathon
The Mallathon began as a citywide summer fitness initiative that turned air‑conditioned indoor spaces into walking routes, helping residents stay active during August’s heat. By bringing the programme to the airport, organizers extend that health‑focused concept to a busy transport hub.
DXB is the first location outside a traditional shopping centre to host the Mallathon, showing how the airport is looking for creative ways to add value for travelers and staff alike.
