Dubai’s Event Security Committee has confirmed full readiness to ensure a safe, smooth, and celebratory Eid Al Adha across the emirate, with an extensive security and transportation plan backed by multiple government entities.
Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Acting Chairperson of the Committee, announced that security operations will cover all mosques and grand prayer grounds. Hundreds of patrols and support units, including 515 security patrols, 139 ambulatory points, two helicopters, five rescue boats, and four command rooms, will be deployed across Dubai.
In collaboration with the Roads and Transport Authority, the plan also boosts transportation services to accommodate holiday crowds. Over 16,000 limousines, nearly 14,000 taxis, 1,240 buses, and 104 metro trains will be in operation. Seven transport control centres will monitor traffic, supported by traffic diversion units and marine transport vehicles.
Healthcare readiness is also part of the plan, with 18 hospitals and clinics on standby, coordinated by a central health operations centre.
Al Mazroui urged the public to call 999 for emergencies only and use 901 for non-urgent matters. He also encouraged reporting violations through the Dubai Police ‘Police Eye’ platform.
Emphasizing public safety, he warned against reckless driving, particularly speeding, and advised jet ski users to avoid family zones along the beaches. He called on parents to supervise children in public areas and strictly avoid fireworks, citing serious injury risks and fire hazards.
To foster a festive atmosphere, Dubai Police will also host sports competitions for workers in areas including Jebel Ali and Al Quoz during the first two evenings of Eid.
The committee reaffirmed its commitment to a secure and joyous celebration for all residents and visitors.
