14 best beaches for families in the UAE
There's close to 1,300km of soft, sandy shoreline in the UAE, which means plenty of opportunity (and space) for some seriously good beaches for families. Whether you prefer to curl up with a book and let the kids entertain themselves building sandcastles (good luck with that) or prefer to join the little ones for a splash in the sea (while trying to avoid getting your hair wet of course) the UAE's plentiful beaches are the perfect place to do it. If you like reading this: 44 brilliant family-friendly days out in the UAE From Dubai to Fujairah, these spots are either free, or accessed for a minimal amount. So, enjoy those sandy toes and sun-kissed noses. Dubai: best family beaches Al Mamzar Beach Park It might be a bit of a drive (family road trip, yay), but if you can tune out the backseat (heated) discussions then this park on the Sharjah border is worth it. With a choice of four beaches, along with a large lawn, sports pitches and a small skate park, there's something to keep the whole tribe happy. Pack a picnic, claim a barbecue spot for a budget lunch or pick something up from one of the many outlets. The park has toilets and changing rooms, or you can even rent a chalet for the day if you want to make yourself at home. There are plenty of facilities and spots to eat at on this beach – though it will cost you, but what's a day out at the beach without an ice cream? There's free parking on site, too. Dhs5 per person, Dhs30 per car. Open daily 8am-10pm. Near Century Mall, Al Mamzar. (04 296 6201). JBR Beach Finding your own private patch of sand on this beach is possible all day, but be warned it won't be massive. This is easily Dubai's busiest beach – with hordes of residents and tourists heading down in droves every day. However, it is a huge stretch of coastline starting from Zero Gravity and extending all the way to the breakwaters near the Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort without interruption. Little adrenaline-junkies can have some fun taking on the inflatable Aqua Park. There's an abundance of restaurants, breakfast spots, cafés and entertainment areas including a cinema, fairground arcades and playgrounds. Facilities include beach bed rental, showers and changing rooms. Plus, there's plenty of activities to entertain the whole family, including Splash Pad, a fun wet play area for little water babies. The Beach, opposite JBR. Jumeirah Open Beach This is one of Dubai's quieter stretches of sand. Make sure you take plenty of water and all the snacks that your tribe will want to eat, because while there are several cafés and restaurants, they are few and far between. There are however bathrooms and showers for cleaning off your sandy little people before you load them back into the car, while lifeguards oversee the water for peace of mind. Oh, and if the kids actually give you five minutes to read a book, but you've left your Kindle in your bedside table drawer, worry not, there's a library unit on the beach where books can be borrowed for free. Near Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa, Jumeirah Beach Road. Kite Beach This is one of the best beaches for families and a great spot for all your friends to gather on. Teeming with activities including everything from skateparks to mini bungee jumping, high-rope courses and even a running track, there's never a dull moment at this beach (which should prevent whining). Watersports are also popular and include kayaking, paddleboarding and water-skiing to turn a lazy day into something much more adventurous. Not only is the beach packed with activities, it's also home to plenty of cafés for a break before the kids' next round of adventure. Want to walk or jog along the coastline? Kite Beach's 14km track is the perfect spot. Free. Off Street 5a, behind Jumeirah Beach Road, Umm Suqeim, (800 637 227). Mercato Beach This charming and peaceful beach is one to head to when you fancy escaping the crowds. There's always a cool breeze sweeping along the shore and, while it's not the prettiest, it has everything you could want for a quiet day out: sun, sea and sand. Plus, there are some pretty special views of the Burj Khalifa to soak up. There are no facilities so bring everything you need, or head to the Mercato Mall opposite to stock up before you find a place to call your own on the sand. Nearby Jumeirah Fishing Harbour has some nice cafés and restaurants, and is worth exploring when the temperatures start to dip in the late afetrnoon. 13a Street, Jumeirah 2. Nessnass Beach Another of Dubai's popular kiteboarding spots (signposts read Kitesurfing Beach), this stretch has the perfect conditions for catching some serious air thanks to consistent cross-onshore winds. And if the thought of packing a picnic or a cool box on top of all the other seaside paraphernalia sends chills down your spine, never fear because you can grab a bite, (or a smoothie or ice latte) at Feels, the beachfront café that serves up healthy, home-made food. Prevent sandy sandwiches by sitting the tribe down at one of the numerous tables outside the little eatery. Nessnass Street, behind Sunset Mall. Umm Suqeim Beach (Credit: Supplied) Tucked behind Umm Suqeim park, you can have a day on the grass and on the sand at Sunset/Umm Suqeim Beach. Offering up some lovely vistas all the way down the coast towards Burj Al Arab, there's even a built-in running track, and an adorable Arabian Tea House if you want to grab some lunch. There are changing rooms and public toilets nearby too for when you need them. If you want to dip out of the sun, check out the quirky Book Hero Café, pick up a fresh brew and browse the second-hand novels. 2C Street, Umm Suqeim. Abu Dhabi: best family beaches A'l Bahar Technically, this stretch of sand belongs to the Corniche, but this area with its outdoor gym, basketball and volleyball courts, shops, restaurants and gaming area deserves a bit of special attention. A great place to stroll along and relax with the entire gang, it's open every day from 7am. Free. Daily 7am-sunset. Corniche. Al Bateen Beach Brilliantly family-friendly, Al Bateen Beach is hugely popular with tourists, expats and locals. And not just for building sandcastles, but for swimming and fishing too, due to its beautifully calm waters and properly relaxed atmosphere. This 800m stretch also features a children's playground, 100 parking spaces, lifeguards aplenty, a handful of eateries and also watersports like kayaking and – if you're game enough to give it a go – stand-up paddleboards. Basically, it's got everything you and the family could possibly need. Pack the car, the kids and the sun cream and head on down for an immaculate weekend chill-out session with the whole gang. Free. Open daily 8am-sunset. Al Bateen, Khalifa Al Mubarak Street, off Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street. Hudayriat Island This huge island opened its beach back in 2018, and while the rest of the island remains untouched, the space just over the hulking Hudayriat Bridge is a popular spot. There are food trucks and sports facilities from the island and the 600 metre-long beach is open daily from 8am to 7pm and is free to use for the public. There are also three new slipways for boats and jet-skis, making it a must-visit for thrill-seekers in the capital. Free. Open daily 8am to 7pm. Hudayriat Island. The Corniche The jewel in Abu Dhabi's beachy crown, especially when it comes to families, the Corniche is a pristine beachfront divided into three handy sections, so everyone gets maximum enjoyment from its golden joys. There are children's play areas, restaurants and lots of free sports on offer, like volleyball (there are five courts) and football. Best of all, floating fences keep you within 40 metres of the beach at all times, which makes this, along with all the lifeguards, a beach where you always feel 100 percent safe. Little wonder 50,000 people come here every month, to soak up the rays and the stunning views of the Abu Dhabi skyline. Dhs10 per adult and Dhs5 per child under 12. Kids under five go free. Dhs25 per lounger. Public beaches are free and open daily 8am-8pm. Fujairah This is the perfect stretch of shoreline to settle down with a picnic and the family for the day, and you're spoilt for choice when it comes for spots to spend the day. But if you're bringing the whole brood, there's you'll find a great day out on Umbrella Beach. The mountains provide a pretty impressive backdrop to your beach day out on the Fujairah Corniche with beautiful sparkly waters and plenty of other things to do close by. Grab your beach towel and loads of SPF and get ready to blow off some steam. Afterwards? There are plenty of cafés and a walk along the Corniche waiting. Free Al Faseel, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah RAK is full of luxurious private beaches, but if you're looking for something a little more rustic, but equally as beautiful, try Al Jazeerah public beach near Jazirat Al Hamra. Offering a pristine stretch of unobstructed golden sandy shore, kids can run around safely while you unpack the picnic hamper. Send the little ones off on a mission to load up their buckets with colourful seashells (there are loads to be discovered). Free. Jazirat Al Hamra, Ras Al Kaimah. Umm Al Quwain Make a beeline to Kite Surf Beach Centre in Umm Al Quwain, which is not only child-friendly, but dog-friendly too.

Showroom sells a used car for Dhs68,000, stalls payment to vehicle's owner
Al Ain Civil, Commercial and Administrative Cases Court obligated a showroom for selling new and used cars to return Dhs68,000 to a customer and fined it Dhs15,000 for failing to transfer the price of a car to a customer. Earlier, the customer asked the showroom to help him sell his car and consequently he was asked to transfer the ownership of the car to the showroom's name to make it easier to sell it. Later, an agreement on the sale price was reached, but the showroom did not commit to transferring the amount to the car owner and began to stall. The car owner filed a lawsuit against the showroom in which he requested the court to obligate it to pay him Dhs68,000 plus a legal interest at 9 per cent per annum from the date of the claim until full payment. He also requested the court to obligate the showroom to pay him Dhs30,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms he had befallen plus the incurred fees, expenses, and lawyer's fees. The car owner pleaded that he owned a car, and the defendant was a licensed showroom for selling new and used cars. As he wanted to sell his car, he agreed with the showroom for his car to be displayed at the showroom and then sold at the highest satisfactory price. The car continued to be displayed until the showroom informed the car owner that it had agreed with a buyer to sell the car for Dhs68,000, which the car owner agreed to. However, the showroom informed the car owner again that the buyer wanted to buy the car through a UAE bank and consequently the car owner was requested to transfer the ownership of the car to the showroom to be able to sell the car and complete the procedures faster. The showroom asked the car owner to use his digital ID and carry out the procedures for waiving the car and promised him to transfer the amount as soon as the procedures were completed. The car owner stated that the showroom, however, continued to stall on this matter and refused to transfer the amount to him although the car had already been sold and the sale price had already been received. This prompted the car owner to file a lawsuit, requesting the court to issue a verdict in his favour. He supported his lawsuit with a copy of the WhatsApp conversations and a copy of the car ownership document. The court explained that it was evident from the documents that the car owner had handed his car over to the showroom and declared that the showroom had sold it and collected its price Dhs68,000. The showroom did not dispute the origin of the debt and acknowledged the car owner's right to claim it. The court thereby ordered the showroom to pay the amount claimed and estimated the compensation due at Dhs15,000 for all the material and moral harms that the car owner had befallen.
