I wholeheartedly support you r petition - although remembering that The developers and the government are in fact the same entity. This is so shortsighted. All cities need public spaces- why destroy one of such beauty? WHere else is on the hitlist? Creek Park? Safa Park? I loved my time in Dubai and on umm suqueim beach, now I know I won't ever be back. Guess I'm not the only one. Save the Beach! And the fishermen!

what the reason to take the beach away. We have enough buldings and houses that there is no need to take the beaches. People love the beaches here and love going to it and sometime even every day. If you take that away where they go and so where will i go. I am always on the free beaches and i love it and it has such a beautiful view that if u build on it the beauty is all gone.

I know the milions of dirhams this developement will generate make our little petition look ridiculous but we are talking about humanity here... What? Did Zabeel Investment HAVE to build this stupid yet new development on the most beautiful beach of the city a one of the most beautiful in the world (in my opinion at least...). It is the most beautiful sunset, the best view, the clearest water, the best sand and the best sea level available in the whole of Dubai, are we left to understand that people up there don't give a damn about what people gathered here for, now that we are here, spending money in the country, we can be ripped off? Quite easy and unfortunately, not much, WE, little voices can do but I do hope the decision makers feel the disgust we all are filled with. Foreigners will never be attracted by Dubai's towers, there are enough of these in the West, it just seems some people here do not realise the beauty their land was given by God and keep on destroying it a bit more each day...

Dubai has so much to offer, why oh why is the government taking away its prime asset? Natural beauty is something to be preserved not turned into another concrete jungle. This beach has a unique culture of its own blending every nationality, culture and religion. Where else in the world can you see this work in such harmony?

It is important to remember that its not just the expats who frequent this beach. I live close by and constantly see locals benefiting from this beach's natural beauty. The expats can always leave but the government needs to consider the national benefit. I'm sure this kind of development wasn't in His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's (Rest In Peace) grand scheme for Dubai and the UAE? It is very disappointing to witness such a development taking shape.

This beach was one of the attractions for people who live in Dubai as well as for tourists! As all other beaches in Dubai disapear because of huge palaces (which are used by only a few, few people !) it is even more important that the public (!) beach in Jumeirah stays open for the public.
