Dubai has managed to stay at the forefront and, as is customary, implemented a new protection and security system for its beaches. In Dubai, the sandy shores have become the most frequented during the night due to the high daytime temperatures. For this reason, they began to apply an innovative security mechanism so that visitors can enjoy cool nights in the wonderful city.
In the midst of sweltering heat, the beaches of this magnificent enclave started to become a meeting point for visitors and citizens who found in this site a new recreational area. For this reason, the city’s authorities decided to improve the lighting and security to ensure a magical stay in these incredible places.
What is the new protection system for the beaches in Dubai?
Due to the stifling heat that still affects Dubai, the beaches have become the favorite spot for visitors. However, the city’s authorities decided to accommodate them and make them safer to offer a better experience. Therefore, they implemented a new security system that guarantees the comfort of tourists amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, situated just on the other side of the Persian Gulf, which also worries the residents.
Specially for the hot nights, Dubai has 800 meters of beach open to the public at night, equipped with shark nets and giant spotlights. It also employs lifeguards who work 24 hours a day and uses night vision binoculars to monitor bathers who choose to swim at late hours in the morning.
AI on Dubai’s nights: how the mechanism works to protect bathers
The most popular beaches in Dubai have become the perfect place to enjoy the nightlife. For this reason, Emirati authorities are developing a new mechanism using artificial intelligence to improve lighting and safety in these areas with cameras designed with this technology.
For some residents of Dubai, choosing the beach at night is a good option to relax and escape the temperatures that often exceed 40 degrees in summer. “Every weekend we come here to have fun. Sometimes we sleep here with my friends,” revealed some bathers about this experience to the AFP agency. Regarding these new measures, city officials assured that it is one of the peculiarities of Dubai. “I think we are one of the only cities in the world that has this infrastructure on public beaches at night,” said Hamad Shaker, a city official.

Umm Suqeim is one of the favored sandy spots to enjoy at night. This is one of the most popular beaches in the city and it is also public and free. One of its particularities is that it offers a unique view of the Burj Al Arab, the most famous luxury hotel in the world. In addition to this well-known space, another one deserves special mention and is considered one of the options for nightlife. This is Jumeirah Public Beach, also known as Nessnass Beach.
This site has the same security features as before and also offers various activities that can be done during the day, such as surfing lessons or renting equipment for kitesurfing, paddleboarding, or kayaking. This location, which has restrooms and other amenities, is also close to Sunset Mall, one of the shopping destinations in the city, where there is a wide variety of restaurants and other activities worth experiencing. Kite Beach is another option for nightlife in this area, where groups of young people from the city gather to live unique experiences and have fun at all hours.
