The Dubai Anti-Doomscroll Stroll Club is a community-led walking club in Dubai designed to help people get off their phones, stop doomscrolling, and reconnect with the city and other people in real life. It organizes phone-light or phone-free strolls, especially around Satwa, followed by social gatherings. It was set up by Faizal Abdul Razak, and event listings describe it as a concept to encourage people to disconnect from social media and reconnect through physical exploration and social interaction.
Recent coverage says the club has been offering residents an alternative to constant scrolling and anxiety-inducing news cycles, with walks through one of Dubai’s older neighborhoods using paper maps and highlighting local landmarks and businesses. The National reported that attendance grew quickly, from about 50 people on the first walk to around 150 on the second.
In plain terms, it is basically:
a social walking club in Dubai meant as an antidote to doomscrolling.
You can join it through its event announcements and community pages. The club has been promoted through The Karak event platform, which described it as a Satwa walk meant to help people unplug from social media and reconnect in person. Recent reporting in The National also confirms it is an active Dubai community walk with growing attendance.
