Its standout features include the world’s first 24/7 women-only beach offering night swimming, a floating walkway at Al Mamzar Lagoon, the first of its kind in the region, and a waterfront restaurant.
More than 5.5 kilometres of walking, running, and cycling tracks will link the lagoon, corniche, and Al Mamzar Beach Park, creating an integrated beach-and-park experience.
