Ibrahim Mohammad Juma, director of Public Beaches and Waterways Department at the Dubai Municipality, said: "Dedicating public beaches in Dubai to families during the Eid Al Etihad festivities aims to regulate the number of visitors to the beaches, which witness a large influx during public holidays and festivals. It also seeks to provide families with the opportunity to enjoy Dubai's beaches during the holiday.”

The Dubai Municipality has deployed an “integrated safety and rescue team” comprising 135 personnel. Additionally, a 60-member field supervisory team has been assigned to oversee beach operations throughout the holiday period.

In collaboration with its partners, the civic body will closely monitor all beach operations.
