Hotel beaches in Abu Dhabi are now able to reopen.
Venues across the capital have been issued guidelines from the Supreme Council for National Security and the Abu Dhabi Department of Health on safely reopening beaches to the public.
The private beaches will be able to open and allow up to 40 percent capacity at any given time.
Public beaches across the capital will remain closed until further notice.
All resorts have social distancing in place to ensure the safety of all visitors and many of the beaches are available only to in-house guests – so it’s a good excuse for a staycation.
This is a live list and will be updated as things progress.
