Women-only beach opens in Abu Dhabi
A female-only beach has been opened in Abu Dhabi.
Designated by the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, the fenced-off facility at Al Been Beach can accommodate up to 1,100 women and children in its waters, with room for another 5,000 visitors on the beach.
The new beach area features benches, cabins, snack outlets, a cinema and children’s playground, as well as areas for water sports and yoga.
The lifeguards at the beach all women, with a fence set up around the beach and a barrier erected on the seafront.
While neighbouring Dubai has several women-only beaches, the Al Been Beach facility is the first such facility in Abu Dhabi.
