Caravan owners can now book a getaway on Jebel Ali Beach.

It is the second place to be added to a permit initiative authorising caravan camping in Dubai.

Beachgoers must obtain a free permit through the Dubai Municipality website.

A copy of the ownership of the caravan or trailer, and a copy of the Emirates ID, or passport, of visitors are needed to book a stay.

Authorities said designated areas for beach stays can be identified by the Makani number 0001864652.

"Once the applicant enters the data and documents online, the permit is issued immediately. It allows the holder to camp in the specified location for 30 days," the municipality said.

Caravan owners can also book stays at Al Sufouh Beach, also known as Black Palace Beach, under the initiative.

Officials allowed beach getaways to resume in June after being suspended because of the pandemic.
