Dubai Municipality announces temporary closure of parks and night beaches

The Dubai Municipality announced temporary closure of Dubai night swimming beaches, starting from 7:00 pm as of Sunday. The step comes to ensure safety of the public due to the prevailing weather fluctuations.

“Your safety is our priority,” the Municipality added.

It also announced temporary closure of Public Parks starting from 7:00 pm on Sunday, as a safety measure due to the prevailing weather conditions in Dubai.

In May this year, Dubai Municipality has further expanded its beach tourism offering with the opening of three new beaches for night swimming in Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3 and Umm Suqeim 1.

The 800-metre-long night-swimming beaches feature lighting systems, which enable residents and tourists to swim around the clock, and electronic screens that display content aimed at increasing safety awareness among beachgoers.
