Every natural lawn in Dubai needs regular irrigation through summer, so the choice that matters is how each grass handles salt, shade and foot traffic. Bermuda is the common default for full sun and heavy use, while paspalum copes better with saline water. This page lists the grasses one by one; the lawn grass guide compares them in a single table alongside artificial turf.
