The Beach
With the arrival of summer, some of us can’t take the heat. But this doesn’t mean swimming in the open waters has to come to a halt. Dubai has opened three new beaches where you can go swimming at night. Located in Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3 and Umm Suqeim 1, these 800-meter stretches of shore have been fit with lighting systems and safety enhancements that allow for 24-hour swimming.
