Sharjah Desert Police Park allows entry for only govt employees on weekends until Jan 5

Sharjah’s Desert Police Park has instituted a temporary access policy reserving weekend admissions exclusively for government employees and their immediate families. This measure, effective immediately through January 5, 2026, responds to unprecedented visitor turnout during peak periods.

The park administration announced on December 24, 2025, that Fridays and Saturdays will be designated for public sector workers seeking recreational opportunities. This strategic allocation aims to manage crowd density while recognizing the contributions of government personnel.

Regular public access continues uninterrupted from Monday through Thursday, maintaining the facility’s availability for general community use during weekdays. The temporary weekend restrictions represent a seasonal adjustment rather than a permanent policy change.

The timing coincides with increased regional tourism activity during the holiday period, when recreational destinations typically experience heightened demand. Park authorities emphasized this as a capacity management solution rather than an exclusionary measure.

Government employees must present valid identification confirming their employment status for weekend entry. Family members accompanying eligible personnel will be admitted under the same provisions.

The Desert Police Park remains committed to serving all community segments while implementing practical solutions for optimal visitor experience and safety standards.
