Dubai’s Beachfront Transformation Takes Center Stage with $96.56 Million Project
In line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, a major upgrade of Al Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 beaches has been initiated by the Dubai Committee on Urban Planning and Wellness. This AED 355 million project, spanning 5.7 kilometers, is set to revolutionize Dubai’s beachfront landscape within 18 months.
A Transformative Leap in Beachfront Design
This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing the appeal and functionality of these beaches, aligning them with the Dubai Public Beach Master Plan. The project aims to establish Dubai as a pioneer in beach development, catering to the needs of both locals and tourists.
Introducing Dubai’s First 24-Hour Beach
One of the highlights of this initiative is the introduction of Dubai’s inaugural 24-hour beach, situated in Deira and stretching over 300 meters. This beach will cater to the growing popularity of night swimming and further boost the city’s tourism appeal.
Enhanced Amenities and Accessibility
The upgrade includes high-standard public amenities such as restrooms, showers, changing areas, and privacy-focused designs. Recreational zones, children’s play areas, fitness centers, and barbecue sites will also be incorporated, along with provisions for seasonal events. Secure access points will ensure the safety and well-being of visitors.
Advanced Technological Integrations
Advanced technological implementations will play a key role in enhancing the beach experience. Cutting-edge safety deposit systems, Wi-Fi connectivity, and digital displays will be integrated throughout the beaches. AI-powered solutions and an extensive network of cameras will provide enhanced security, coordinated with Dubai Municipality and Dubai Police.
Expanding Investment Opportunities
The project will open doors to over 50 distinctive investment opportunities in water sports, food and beverage services, retail kiosks, and promotional spaces, enriching the commercial landscape of Dubai’s beaches.
Climate Resilience and Sustainability
In line with Dubai’s commitment to environmental sustainability, this initiative incorporates measures to prepare the coastlines for the impacts of climate change. Strategic placement of sand based on environmental studies will fortify the beaches, ensuring continuity of beach operations while adhering to safety and health protocols.
This comprehensive beach development project is part of Dubai’s broader strategy to double beach development, quadruple beach services, and significantly extend facilities for night swimming and recreational tracks. It underscores the city’s dedication to maintaining world-class public beach standards, as evidenced by multiple Blue Flag certifications.
