Dubai Police intensify efforts to combat begging, reinforcing public safety and the emirate's global image.
Dubai Police have arrested 127 beggars and seized over Dh50,000 in the first half of Ramadan as part of their ongoing 'Combat Begging' campaign. This initiative, supported by key government entities, reinforces Dubai’s commitment to maintaining public safety, economic stability, and its image as a premier global destination.
The campaign is a joint effort involving the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, Dubai Municipality, and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD). Their mission is to eliminate illegal begging while promoting legal avenues for assistance.
Dubai’s stringent approach to public security directly benefits the real estate sector. By reducing street-level crime, the emirate enhances its appeal among high-net-worth individuals and foreign investors. A secure urban environment fosters increased tourism, business expansion, and higher demand for premium properties.
The deployment of surveillance technologies and AI-driven monitoring further strengthens Dubai’s position as a smart city leader. Investors in commercial real estate and proptech solutions stand to benefit from the city’s continued push toward digital security infrastructure.
Authorities urge residents to donate through official charities rather than to individuals, ensuring financial aid reaches those in genuine need. This structured approach aligns with Dubai's broader economic vision of maintaining regulatory clarity and social responsibility.
Dubai’s proactive security measures reaffirm its status as a global investment hub. A well-regulated environment not only protects residents but also increases confidence among investors seeking long-term growth in the emirate’s thriving real estate market.
