His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, and Minister of Defence has approved a AED500 million development plan to transform Umm Suqeim Beach into a major new public waterfront destination.
In a post on X, His Highness wrote the project stretches over 3.1 kilometres and covers approximately 445,000 square metres, and is part of ongoing efforts to enhance Dubai’s infrastructure and quality of life, offering urban spaces that reflect an Emirati character while meeting global standards.
Once completed, the beach is expected to attract up to six million visitors a year, catering to seniors and people of determination, and providing facilities for night swimming and specialised health and recreational activities.
Dubai’s iconic beaches, ambitious projects, and unique charm remain at the heart of the city, with the wellbeing of residents, visitors, and guests always a top priority, His Highness added.
