Before you bring any dog to a UAE beach
Under Federal Law No. 22 of 2016, several breeds are classed as dangerous animals in the UAE, including Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers and Boxers alongside pit bull types. The rules apply wherever you go, not just here.
Check the federal breed list before you travel.
Best time to go
The UAE beach season runs October to April. Outside it, go at sunrise or after sunset only — sand can burn paw pads within seconds.
The five-second test
Press the back of your hand to the sand for five seconds. If you cannot hold it there, your dog cannot walk on it. More on heat and paws.
What to bring
- More water than you think, plus a collapsible bowl
- Shade — UAE beaches have little natural cover
- Paw balm, and boots if your dog will tolerate them
- A towel — salt water needs rinsing off
- Waste bags
- A leash — assume mandatory unless this page says otherwise
