The beach development will offer facilities that accommodate the elderly and people of determination, along with amenities for nighttime swimming
Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has announced a major development plan for Umm Suqeim Beach, spanning 3.1km and covering more than 445,000 square meters, with a total investment of Dh500 million.
The beach development is expected to cater to 6 million visitors annually, offering facilities that accommodate the elderly and people of determination, along with amenities for nighttime swimming and a variety of healthy and recreational activities.
The project will also see a 200 per cent increase in parking capacity, bringing the total to 2,400 spaces, alongside upgraded roads and improved access from Jumeirah Street, with traffic movement separated from surrounding residential areas for smoother flow, according to Dubai Media Office.
A total of 130,000 square metres of illuminated beachfront will support marine activities and night swimming. Sustainability is a core focus, with engineering solutions addressing climate change and rising sea levels, including the construction of a two-kilometre retaining wall, elevation of beach levels, and an AI-powered smart system to manage facilities efficiently.
Sheikh Hamdan unveils Dh500-million revamp of Dubai's Umm Suqeim Beach
The master plan features six main gateways reflecting the beach’s local identity, 10 mobility hubs, 11 designated taxi locations, and integrated spaces for bicycles and electric scooters. A 38-metre observation tower, inspired by Dubai’s maritime heritage, will serve as a visual landmark.
In a post on social media platform X, the Dubai Crown Prince said that the project is part of the emirate’s ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and improve quality of life by creating well-designed public spaces that blend Emirati heritage with global standards of excellence.
Sheikh Hamdan highlighted that Dubai’s beauty lies in its people, its ambition in pioneering projects, and its distinction in world-class beaches. He emphasised that enhancing the quality of life for residents, visitors, and guests will always remain a top priority.
