emirates7 - The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has unveiled its plans to redevelop the Al Bateen Ladies Beach with public amenities to enhance its appeal as a leisure and adventure destination for residents and visitors.

The project aligns with DMT's vision to increase recreational facilities, improve the quality of life in the emirate, and develop the emirate's infrastructure and the community's growth by providing integrated recreational facilities and high-quality services.

The redevelopment of Al Bateen Ladies Beach covers more than 36,580 sqm and will feature a restaurant, cafes, a prayer room and a convenience store.

During the redevelopment project, Al Bateen Ladies Beach will be temporarily closed from 4th July until its completion in the second quarter of 2023.

It will also include a 500-metre exercise loop/jogging track, an outdoor/indoor gym, a paddle court, a volleyball court and a swimming pool, showers facilities and changing rooms to provide resident ladies and tourists with unrivalled beach experiences in complete privacy.

Dr. Salem Khalfan Al Kaabi, Acting Director-General of Operational Affairs in DMT, said, "The project aims to develop the beach to become one of the best destinations in Abu Dhabi City for ladies, which offers them leisure activities with more privacy.

"We want the women of Abu Dhabi to access world-class facilities at the beach while having access to privacy."

An integral element of the Al Bateen Ladies Beach redevelopment project comprises child-friendly park facilities with slides, trampolines, and swing ropes adhering to the highest standards in safety and quality.
