Dubai has awarded contracts worth AED355 million ($97 million) for the development of Al Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 Beaches spanning 5.7 km long (4.3 km at Al Mamzar and 1.4 km at Jumeirah 1).
Slated for completion in 18 months, these two projects mark a quantum shift in beach design.
According to Dubai's Higher Committee for Urban Planning and Well-Being, the development of public beaches in Al Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 was part of the ongoing efforts to build sustainable infrastructure for all coastal and beach facilities.
It aligns with the Dubai Master Plan for Public Beaches, providing new recreational, sports, aesthetic and investment facilities that meet the highest international standards, it stated.
Guided by integrated plans, radical changes will be carried out to reshape and enhance the infrastructure of these beaches, placing them on a par with the most advanced and attractive in the world.
The project creates a new recreational tourism destination, catering to the influx of beachgoers, water sports enthusiasts, and night swimmers, offering an unparalleled experience for residents, tourists, and visitors on Dubai's renowned beaches.
