General instructions were provided by MME on how to safely use the beaches during Eid Al Fitr, such as avoiding starting bonfires on the sand, not burying coal in the sand, ensuring public hygiene, throwing away waste in designated areas, and wearing life jackets when swimming.

MME shared on its social media all the above as well as QR Codes and locations for the beaches.
