Your ultimate guide: Open venues, facilities and timings

Residents are strongly advised to avoid public gatherings, including family gatherings, to ensure the health and safety of all.

The UAE has changed timings for the National Disinfection Campaign from 10pm to 6am from today but the change will not affect Dubai that will continue its sterilisation programme from 11pm to 6am the following morning.
The timings were also to assist economic activity in the gradual recovery and revitalisation of the commercial movement and not disrupting the important sectors of UAE.
This decision to revise the timings in other emirates comes within the framework of facilitating citizens and residents by giving them a greater opportunity to attend to necessary/essential activities.
As movement restrictions in Dubai eased from Wednesday with the stay home order reduced to 11pm to 6am, the municipality announced the reopening of public beaches and parks late on Thursday evening.

Residents and citizens heaved a sigh of relief as many said they had not stepped out for months while adhering to the UAE's stay-at-home policy.
