The development will include a women-only beach.


Dubai is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, and the team behind Dubai Urban Plan 2040 unveiled its plans last year, which include a new development. The Al Mamzar Beach Development in Dubai was awarded AED 400 million ($109 million) worth of contracts and is now 88% complete.

Al Mamzar Corniche Beach will feature a dedicated public beach for women. Privacy and safety will be the key factors, from a secure gated entrance to fencing. The ladies will offer night swimming, a sports club, commercial services and children’s play areas, making this a favourite destination for many in the UAE.

Al Mamzar Beach Development will cover more than 125,000 square meters. The aim is to create a space for both residents and visitors. The site includes a 200-metre-long pedestrian pontoon bridge, which connects the two banks of the creek. The 300-metre-long night-swimming beach is designed to be accessible to people with disabilities. Plus, there will be a five-kilometre walkway with running and cycling tracks.

At the heart of the development is the Al Mamzar Corniche. The features include a 2,000 square metre skateboarding area, children’s play areas, restrooms and beach lounges. Additional features include a 1,000-metre running, walking and cycling path. The paths will link Al Mamzar Creek Beach and Al Mamzar Park. Plus, there will be a 5,000-square-metre area for seasonal events and activities.

Following the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Al Mamzar Beach Development in Dubai started in June 2024. The project is scheduled to be completed soon.

Bader Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, had explained: “This project reflects our commitment to creating innovative, sustainable infrastructure that aligns with Dubai’s future ambitions, solidifying its leading position across various vital sectors, and supporting the achievement of Dubai Economic Agenda D33 targets.”
