for Al Mamzar, Jumeirah 1
beaches

DUBAI, 10 days ago
Dubai has awarded contracts
worth AED355 million ($97
million) for the development of Al
Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 Beaches
spanning 5.7 km long (4.3 km at
Al Mamzar and 1.4 km at
Jumeirah 1). Slated for
completion in 18 months, these
two projects mark a quantum shift
in beach design.

According to Dubai's Higher
Committee for Urban Planning
and Well-Being, the development of public beaches in Al Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 was part of the
ongoing efforts to build sustainable infrastructure for all coastal and beach facilities.

It aligns with the Dubai Master Plan for Public Beaches, providing new recreational, sports, aesthetic
and investment facilities that meet the highest international standards, it stated.

Guided by integrated plans, radical changes will be carried out to reshape and enhance the
infrastructure of these beaches, placing them on a par with the most advanced and attractive in the
world.

The project creates a new recreational tourism destination, catering to the influx of beachgoers,
water sports enthusiasts, and night swimmers, offering an unparalleled experience for residents,
tourists, and visitors on Dubai's renowned beaches.

The project supports Dubai's efforts to provide a city with integrated leisure and tourism facilities in
terms of well-being for residents and visitors. It aligns with the objectives of the Dubai Economic
Agenda D33, Dubai Urban Plan 2040, and the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, all aimed to
make Dubai the world leader in quality of life, enhance its attractiveness as a vibrant city, and
cement its position as the best city to live, work, and visit as well as one of the world's leading
destinations for beach tourism.

The project contributes to creating a unique global model in beach design and enhancing the
capacity for beachgoers in line with the emirate's population and tourism growth. The beaches will
feature comprehensive infrastructure with advanced services and facilities, including Dubai's first
beach dedicated 24/7 to night swimming in Deira, spanning 300 metres. Additional features include
a 5 km pedestrian path connecting the two beaches, 11 km of cycling and running tracks surrounded
by trees, and a 200-metre-long floating bridge connecting both sides of Al Mamzar Beach, the first of
its kind in the emirate.

The beaches will be equipped with public health and service facilities such as toilets, showers, and
changing rooms, designed to world-class standards to ensure both comfort and privacy. There will
also be 10 recreational play areas, children's playgrounds, beach and fitness areas, barbecue
zones, beach rest amenities, and seasonal event spaces with secured entrances and exits.
