Thanks for the warning...A BIT LATE!

No signage...no warnings...offshore sailing Club closed for past 2 weeks - I have been swimming at the open beach everyday for the past 2 week. Two weeks and only after a 7days report to warn residents....Thank you!
To whom shop I send my medical bills, and where do I get a new liver?

sewage in sea
Posted by anil at 20:38 UAE time
i am surprised the penalty is only dh50000/- this deserves jail and if expatriate and repeated deportment.
also poor planning on part of authority concerned as sewage facility is overloaded. could have looked at other temp solution than this disaster

Sewage, sewage everywhere and not a drop...

You reap what you sow...Not unexpected and a result of uncontrolled development with a distinct lack of urban master planning...all for a fast buck...but nothing new ala Spain circa 1960/70's...
The tourism ministry must be spitting nails especially with the high season just around the corner...some more positive spin to come me thinks...
Time for letting people who really do know what they are doing to do their jobs...

Train Smash Mentality

We dont need to plan for problems we dont have! Until we have a problem we dont have a problem. The trainline is broken unil the train falls off it and doesnt need maintenace until its broken.
We dont need a sewerage system until we are waste deep in excrement and we have poisined all of the coastline around us to the point where our children will never know the sea.
We can then engage in a program to build a sustainable future hen we already had one.

Raw sewage

It is not surprising that this has happened. The creation of captive waters along all the beaches of Dubai, thanks to the development particularly by Nakheel, will be a recurring problem. It will take weeks for the beaches to be completely free of the bacterial contamination. This is worse than an oil spill which only sticks to you and does not cause transmission of disease.
