And get this – people with disabilities are known as people with determination in the UAE. Dubai beaches have special access for people on wheelchairs, as do public parks and theme parks, and all the major tourist hotspots. Entry is subsidized or free and you can WhatsApp the Dubai Municipality for more information and help anytime!
