Ajman Corniche Development Project Progresses with Coastal Protection Measures and Beachfront Expansion

The Ajman Corniche development project in the United Arab Emirates is making notable progress with the construction of rock wave barriers, a seabed barrier, and sand dredging to extend the beachfront by 150 meters and add 300,000 square meters of greenery. The project, set for completion in 2023, aims to improve the visual appeal of the existing beachfront, implement effective coastal protection measures, and expand the greenery within Ajman's prime natural leisure zones.

The first phase of the development includes the construction of southern, central, and northern rock wave barriers, along with a seabed barrier. Sand is being dredged from approximately 3 kilometers offshore to nourish and widen the beachfront. These measures will not only protect the coastline but also create a more extensive and attractive beach area for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Why this matters: The Ajman Corniche development project is part of a comprehensive plan to transform Ajman's significant natural landmarks into an appealing hub for the economy, investment, tourism, happiness, and optimal living. The project's success will contribute to the overall growth and development of the emirate, attracting more visitors and boosting the local economy.

Eng. Khalid Moeen Al Hosani, Executive Director of the Public Works and Infrastructure Development Sector at the Department of Municipalities and Transport, stated, "The Ajman Corniche Development Project is one of the vital projects that the department is implementing, aiming to develop and raise the efficiency of the Corniche, increase the green area, and implement coastal protection works."

The project is evidence of Ajman's commitment to sustainable development and creating a more vibrant and attractive environment for its residents and visitors. Upon completion, the Ajman Corniche will offer an enhanced beachfront experience, with expanded green spaces and effective coastal protection measures in place.
