Sheikh Hamdan, the Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, has approved the Master Plan for the Jebel Ali Beach Development Project. Stretching 6.6 kilometers, the beach is positioned to develop into a distinctive recreational destination that places a high priority on environmental preservation. Notably, the project, part of an initiative to develop public beaches in the emirate, is the first of its kind in the UAE.
The Crown Prince has also approved the architectural designs for the project’s buildings and facilities. Jebel Ali Beach will be the longest public open beach in the emirate, stretching 6.6 km and covering an area of 330 hectares. The significant plan includes developing two areas: a 1.6 km mangrove beach to be developed by Dubai Municipality and a 5 km sandy beach to be developed by Nakheel. The project will feature a 2 km open swimmable beach and a 2.5 km diving sports area. Moreover, the Jebel Ali beach will be connected with integrated infrastructure, including a two-lane road in each direction.
As part of the Dubai 2040 Master Plan’s goal to develop and expand the emirate’s public beaches by 400%, we have approved the master plan and designs for the Jebel Ali Beach Development Project. The unique project spans 6.6 kilometres and covers a total area of 330 hectares.… pic.twitter.com/XXs299OKnd
