Abu Dhabi's beach to get world-class facilities

The Abu Dhabi City Municipality is upgrading its Al Bateen Beach in order to raise the standard of beach facilities used by visitors and residents of the emirate.

The municipality has released a public tender inviting bidders to submit proposals for upgrading the project - that comprises the Ladies Beach, Open Beach, and the Walk. Last date to submit their bids is September 15.

The project features a creative style for upgrading the Ladies Beach, as well as the Open Beach, with the addition of a stunning Walk at the waterfront. The move seeks to make the beach a vibrant recreational spot for residents and visitors of Abu Dhabi Island.

There will be new facilities with key water attractions and businesses, such as restaurants, cafes and retail outlets in an area spanning 6,062 square metres.

The project will be undertaken in collaboration with the private sector, where developers will finance and develop the project and in return will be entitled to benefit from the use of the municipality's lands through an agreement (Musataha), following which ownership of the project will devolve upon the Abu Dhabi City Municipality.

The community-oriented service project is a further illustration of the ongoing public-private partnership model.

The overall objective of the project is to offer multiple recreational options at world-class standards matching the aspirations of Abu Dhabi and its residents for prosperity, integrated life experience, as well as modern and sustainable services.

Al Bateen Beach and Walk project, which is located in Al Bateen residential district of Abu Dhabi city, is aimed at revamping the beach which had been partly upgraded and opened.
