Dubai Opens 3 New Beaches for Night Swimming

Dubai has opened three new beaches for night swimming in Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3, and Umm Suqeim 1, expanding its beach tourism offering.

The night-swimming beaches feature lighting systems, which enable residents and tourists to swim around the clock.

They also feature electronic screens that display content aimed at increasing safety awareness among beachgoers, which allows them to swim securely 24/7.

Night-swimming timelines at the beaches will be from sunset to sunrise.

This step comes as part of Dubai Municipality's efforts to make the emirate the world’s best place to live and visit.

"The initiative also forms part of the Municipality's beach development plan aimed at providing distinctive experiences. The new facilities will further raise Dubai's status as a beach tourism destination," Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said.

The beaches have qualified lifeguards outfitted with state-of-the-art rescue and emergency instruments.
