Dubai's public beaches are manned by highly trained lifeguards.

Baywatch: Dubai Deploys 140 Lifeguards in Public Beaches

Safety in Dubai’s public beaches has been intensified after the Dubai Municipality deployed a specialized rescue crew of 140 lifeguards across the emirate. The rescue teams include 12 supervisors, two assistant managers and an operations manager. The teams are outfitted with the newest All-Terrain beach vehicles, safety devices, and equipment, and are stationed along the emirate's public beaches, which include Al Mamzar Beach, Al Mamzar Corniche, Jumeirah 1, 2, and 3, Umm Suqeim 1 and 2, El Shorouq, Al Sufouh, and Jebel Ali. The lifeguards work from sunrise to sunset in most public beaches, and round-the-clock in Dubai’s night swimming beaches. “All rescue teams at Dubai beaches are highly qualified and regularly trained to the highest levels in intensive rescue operations,” said Eng. Ibrahim Mohammad Juma, Director of Public Beaches and Waterways Management Department at Dubai Municipality. The Dubai Municipality has also installed signboards with safety information for beachgoers, as well as beach swimming warning flags. A red flag indicates that swimming in the area is prohibited, a yellow flag warns people to swim with caution and a purple flag indicates the presence of marine species but permits swimming.
