DUBAI AUTHORITIES TO DESIGNATE WATER SPORTS AREAS

A special committee was created by the Dubai authorities to organize projects for the development of water sports on the beaches and along the coastline of the emirate, said Lt. Col. Abdullah Al Maziud, director of the port police station. This measure was the result of growing popularity among local residents of swimming, water skiing and sailing.
Further development of the coastal zone will also continue. The chairman of the committee, which included representatives of Dubai ports, the municipality, customs, the Office for Roads and Transport, and the Office of the SEZ "Dubai Sea City", was Lieutenant General Dahi Halfan Tamim, commander in chief of the Dubai Police. Al Mazuid said that the areas for swimming and sea sports will be delimited to ensure the safety of tourists and athletes, as well as the unhindered movement of ships.
