Several beaches in Ras Al Khaimah have reopened to the public, with access to remaining locations set to resume in phases.

The Public Services Department confirmed the reopening of Flamingo Beach, Dahan Beach, Al Maireedh Beach and Al Rams Corniche.

Beaches at Anantara Mina Al Arab, InterContinental Mina Al Arab and The Cove Rotana resorts have also reopened.

The department said updates on other beaches will be announced in phases through its official channels.

It has urged the public to follow all safety instructions and guidelines issued by the relevant authorities.

Ras Al Khaimah's Public Services Department had announced the closure of all beaches across the emirate on October 24, urging residents and visitors to follow official safety instructions.

The move came after the UAE's Ministry of Climate Change and Environment confirmed an oil spill from a tanker on October 23.

Authorities in Umm Al Quwain and Sharjah had also announced temporary beach closures.
