H. H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council has agreed to the Jebel Ali Beach Development Project master plan. The objective of this project is to upgrade the 6. 6-kilometer length of the beach to being a tourist attraction, which will partly focus on matters concerning conservation.
They include the Jebel Ali Beach Development Project that is within the Dubai 2040 Master Plan aimed at increasing the area of the emirate’s public beaches by 400 percent, the area of which is estimated to be 330 hectares. This project is in line with the Dubai executive agenda in improving the standards of living and ensuring that it becomes the best city globally to live in and work.
Environmental and Recreational Focus
The project focuses on the environmental issues, more specifically on preserving the natural components of this geographic region’s environment. Being situated in the Jebel Ali Wildlife Sanctuary, the Area listed under the Ramsar Convention, the development will therefore respect and / or reintroduce the principle of “River of Conservation”, considering that the vicinity encompasses turtle nesting zones and mangrove trees.
Key Features
- An open beach accessible for swimming is 2km.
- A 2. 5 KM Division Sports Zone
- Walkways with viewing platforms
- Children’s play zones, different types of service zones, sports and recreational marines, etc.
- THe physical modifications include construction of roads, parking space, bicycle tracks, and jogging tracks.
The development is divided into three unique zones:The development is divided into three unique zones:
- The Pearl – A branch with a beach where families often come to play volleyball and swim, or children can dine outdoor at locally available restaurants and a floating restaurant.
Sanctuary is the subcategory identified as concentrating on turtle places and nature preservation.
- The Nest- the learning and play zone inside the mangrove area; environmental centre and turtle sanctuary.
This is actually within a series of moves towards the enhancement of beaches in Dubai with working plans at Al Mamzar and Jumeirah 1 Beaches. These projects will incorporate higher-standard amenities like the fifty-five metre night beach and a fully operational cycling and jogging course; plus new-wave public health and service facilities.
So, at the moment the number of the public beaches in Dubai is eight, and all of them meet high standards of Blue Flag – in terms of the quality of marine water, education, and public safety, as a rule. Likely, the Jebel Ali Beach Development Project is be a continuation of this legacy, thus, the development of a sustainable recreational destination.
