Dangerous waters
Be careful swimming in the sea along Jumeira Beach as the currents are extremely strong and several people have drown this year so far.
The worst part is the open beach next to the Burj Al Arab

Re: Dangerous waters
Might want to take care crossing the busy main roads here as well.

Re: Dangerous waters
Also be careful putting on your underwear, 38 people strained something in the process and 4 died.

Re: Dangerous waters
if you to get caught in a riptide there don't try to swim towards the shore! swim paralell to it and you will exit the current.
unfortunately some of the deaths have been labourers who go into the water despite not knowing how to swim.
