Fans of a ride along the smooth surface of Dubai's coastal waters will pay fines along with motorists. Now, police boats will be equipped with hand-held radars to record speed-violators on the water near the coastline of Dubai. Depending on the location, a speed limit of 5-7 knots will be set. It will not apply to ships sailing far offshore. The fine will be 2000 dirhams (US $ 546).

The restriction applies to all watercraft starting with jet skis. Since the beginning of 2014, 56 accidents with water vessels have been recorded in the coastal waters of Dubai. A speed limit of 5 knots should be observed in the territory of ports, 7 knots - in the waters of the Dubai Bay and in the area of ​​Al Mamzar Beach. In the area of ​​beaches, ships are prohibited from approaching the shore closer than 300 meters, except in emergency situations, in which case the speed should not exceed 7 knots. The same limit applies in the 50-meter zone from any berths, platforms and anchorage of small boats.
