Dubai Unveils Dh500 Million Plan to Rebuild Umm Suqeim Beach With Landmark Tower and Climate Defenses

Officials have not released a construction schedule.

Overview

  • Covering 3.1 km between Burj Al Arab and Kite Beach, the plan spans about 445,000 sqm and targets a roughly 30% increase in beach area to accommodate up to six million visitors annually.
  • Features include a 38‑metre observation tower, smart lighting across 130,000 sqm to enable night swimming, and a parking expansion to about 2,400 spaces with upgraded access from Jumeirah Street.
  • Resilience measures call for a two‑kilometre retaining wall, elevation of beach levels, and an AI‑powered system to manage facilities.
  • Accessibility and mobility improvements include facilities for people of determination and senior citizens, six gateways, 10 mobility hubs, and 11 taxi locations.
  • The project aligns with the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, with experts saying carefully designed works could create new marine habitats while limiting erosion and water‑flow disruption.
