Authorities in Dubai have announced the opening of three new beaches for night swimming. Residents and tourists can swim anytime — even after sunset when lifeguards typically signal the end-of-swimming period with their whistles.
The Dubai Municipality said 800-metre night-swimming beaches have come up at Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3 and Umm Suqeim 1. They feature bright lighting systems that help lifeguards monitor the swimmers. Electronic screens display messages that increase safety awareness among beachgoers.
