If you are an avid traveler, you may have heard about the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), one of the largest annual travel exhibitions in the region. The event started on May 1, 2023, and during the exhibition, the Dubai Municipality announced its plan to introduce night-time swimming at select beaches in Umm Sugeim and Jumeirah. This initiative allows tourists and residents to enjoy the beach even after sunset.
With this new initiative, visitors no longer have to miss out on the joy of beach activities during the day. Bader Anwahi, the CEO of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, expressed the city’s desire to provide visitors with the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful part of Dubai, stating that Dubai as a city is alive 24/7, so when tourists go around the city during the day, they miss out on being able to enjoy the beach, because after sunset swimming is not allowed. We wanted to give them an opportunity to enjoy this part of Dubai. That is why we are beginning the night time beach swimming facility.
To facilitate night-time beach activities, new lighting systems have been installed at the selected beaches, ensuring that visitors can safely navigate the shoreline even after sunset. Additionally, LED screens have been set up, providing directions and instructions to visitors. These screens have already been installed and will soon be operational.
Moreover, to ensure the safety and security of visitors, rescue personnel and lifeguards will be present at the beaches during nighttime swimming. The shores will be closely monitored, giving you peace of mind as you enjoy your night-time swim.
This new development is an excellent opportunity for visitors to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Dubai 24/7. With the city’s vibrant atmosphere. It is only natural to have beaches open around the clock. So, whether you are a night owl or an early bird, this new initiative is sure to make your beach experience in Dubai even more enjoyable. So, be ready to take a dip and make unforgettable memories at the beach while enjoying the vibrant city of Dubai!
