UAE: Camping banned on public beaches in Ras Al Khaimah
Known as the ‘adventure emirate of UAE’ , Ras Al Khaimah has banned all the camping activities on public beaches. The Ras Al Khaimah Municipality Department has issued a statement on this. The municipality said camping on the public beaches resulted in distorting the appearance of the emirate due to the tent owners closing off areas, trespassing on public properties, and not giving beachgoers an opportunity to enjoy the public places unhindered.
Authorities have noticed people setting up tents close to the coastal areas without permission from the municipality department outside the allocated camping sites. This resulted in distorting the general appearance of the emirate, encroachment on public properties and disrupting beachgoers from enjoying the public places.
The official confirmed that no decision or permit allows camping on the open beaches.
The official calls on community members to abide by the instructions issued to avoid violations and legal accountability and cooperate to preserve the emirate’s general view. “These beaches and tourist areas are for all members of society. It should not be infringed and abused by any means.”
He urged the public to contact the call centre at 800661 of the municipality for complaints and enquiries.
