In May 2024, Dubai Police came to the aid of a British tourist hiking in the challenging terrain of Hatta mountains. The tourist was unable to move due to exhaustion and high blood pressure. After receiving an emergency alert, the police located him, administered first aid, and airlifted him to a hospital.
Tourists, and the general public, must contact the emergency number 999 or the SOS service on the Dubai Police app in case of emergencies in mountainous or valley areas.
The Dubai Tourist Police received 3,509 comments, inquiries, and suggestions from tourists since the start of the year, following 7,652 interactions last year, according to a post on X.
"The feedback has significantly improved the guides' ability to provide police and security services, recover lost items, and help tourists return to their accommodations or home countries, thereby enhancing their overall experience in Dubai," said Brigadier Khalfan Obaid Al Jallaf, director of the Tourist Police Department.
