http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/ The Jumeirah Beach in Dubai is a public beach in the superior sense of the word - it really does belong to the community, locals and expats alike. We are sure there are many people out there that would feel deprived of their right to a better quality of life if that beach is closed. The absurdity and greed of it all is obvious - does the government really need the money from another real estate development? - and we think it is time the citizens of Dubai take action and start showing what they think. Please support this cause and pass it on to as many people as possible. We hope to raise 1000 signatures and present them to the Ruler of 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. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206548 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 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 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206492 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206484 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206476 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 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! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206463 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 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. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206459 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Had a fabulous holiday there in 05, and we're coming again in July...leave it as it is please. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206412 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206409 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Please save the beach http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206408 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 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?? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206402 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We have lived here for more than 25 years and cant see the beach going in front of our eyes. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206400 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206393 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It will be a sad day if it goes ahead. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206388 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST dont do this i wanna surf and thats the only beach wuth good waves!!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206359 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206353 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Please save the beach http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206352 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206348 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206346 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Please keep the beach, the only change i would make is to keep it pervert-free http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejumeirah/#sig3206344 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this
