These efforts reflect the authority's commitment to maintain the highest standards of
cleanliness in public services throughout the year, especially during special occasions,
holidays, and events hosted by Dubai.

Integrated workforce

Dubai Municipality’s workforce includes a team of 250 supervisory and control staff to
monitor and manage basic cleaning duties. They will oversee handling both routine and
emergency field reports as well as supervising a team of 2,250 sanitation engineers
across Dubai.

The cleaning team will operate in a four-shift system, equipped with necessary
resources. In addition, a group of 650 cleaning engineers have been allocated from the
private sector to supervise cleaning operations in tourist, industrial, and desert areas.

The municipality has assigned a field team comprising seven field supervisors and 84
sanitation engineers to operate in a three-shift system every day, to clean up public
beaches. Earlier the civic body had announced that eight beaches will be reserved only
for families during the holiday period.

The beaches of Corniche Al Mamzar, Jumeirah 1, Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3, Umm
Suqeim 1, Umm Suqeim 2 and Jebel Ali will be open only to families. The municipality
will also allocate a 140-member safety and rescue team to enhance beach safety during
the period.

A team of nine inspectors and field supervisors will also ensure cleanliness of
investment areas and monitor the compliance of real estate development companies
with approved work systems.

Cleanliness of roads

For main roads spanning 2,300km, the municipality has designated an exclusive team
of 155 sanitation engineers and 10 supervisory and monitoring personnel to ensure the
cleanliness in four separate shifts.

The operational strategies of the municipality have been created to tackle all
emergencies, ensuring the hygiene of main roads and highways.
