A VICTORY FOR DUBAI !!!
We will issue a thank you statement to those who signed the petition, and to those who supported this noble cause.
It is inspiring to witness such a spirit of community from the locals and residents, sharing the same concern and love for Dubai.
Today, Dubai marked its willingness to remain in the path of sustainable development, thanks to the wisdom and vision of its leader: HH Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.
Finally the project has been scrapped. Honestly i never expected such a quick decission. But it proves that authorities are indeed concerned about our feelings. Did we manage to submit the petetions to Sheikh Mohammad
It appears that every inch of land in Dubai is owned by developers. The beach is the only piece of public accessable nature left in this city. Don't give it up!
The beach is a wonderful part of Dubai for residents and tourists alike. Without public beaches, Dubai will lose a big part of its appeal. Please leave it for the use of the masses.
Real estate is what is keeping Dubai alive, but it should not take the stakes of our beloved beach. Dubai owns a rich geographical position, it is on the coastline of the Arabian Gulf so, why not establish your estates along Jebel Ali where no residents even go there? It IS on the beach now isn't it??
The beach is a piece of nature in the city.
Please leave it untouched for us and kinds to keep the link and enjoy.
How else you will teach young generation that not only money matters if the surrounding is shopping malls, expensive hotels, and artificial islands?
It is so easy to destroy, but once it’s done, there is no way back. Please PLEASE think twice before developing on this unique untouched beach line yet another “commercial & hospitality facility”.
For 8 yrs walked on the beach and am shocked, especially now that we live in France. Dubai is loosing its opportunity to become
a world class beach resort...now it is "punishing" itself!
The beach is one of Dubai's few natural assets with more beauty than the countless developments going on. Most beachfront has already been developed. It will be a huge loss if this beach is also taken from the people of Dubai..
i hope this beach stays for all the kids who enjoy it every weekend and are unable to use the expensive private beaches. please visit this beach on friday and saturday and look around!!! wake up!!
My family and I had a holiday in Dubai in Spring 2006. Jumeirah Beach was a haven of natural beauty amidst the ultra modern Dubai cityscape. Once you lose this oasis, you can never retrieve it.
I lived in dubai for a good 10 years of my life with my house in umm suqeim 2, its right next to the public beach there where the park is. It is now that i live in England that i realize how precious the beach is-especially the public ones! If dubai wants beaches for property developments...build more palms!
I was born and brought up in Dubai, and despite all the changesin dubai, the beach is the only thing that really remains constant and a reminder of dubai's wonderful past
I thought there had been a ruling a couple of years back that there would be no more beach front development!! What's happened?!!So many people get joy from the Umm Suqeim beach how can it be used for more housing and hotels? Isn't there enough already planned?!!!!
Dont get too greedy with the development, it may be the priority of today, but protection of the UAE´s natural "treasures" should also be on the list of priorities. (Might want to think about protecting the marine life too, but thats another topic)
My daughter lives in Dubai and I have been a frequent visitor over the years . . the beach is one of the best and I think its an utter disgrace as a tourist as well YOU ARE RUINING DUBAI !!
