Visitors to Dubai's Kite Beach risk fines of Dh300 if they use bicycles or e-scooters on the jogging track and boardwalk.
Signs at the popular seaside destination inform people of the possible fines they could incur.
The move came after authorities in the emirate confirmed the use of e-scooters was banned in public parks.
There are only five locations in Dubai that officially allow the use of electric devices, as the government carries out a year-long trial to assess their safety.
The designated e-scooter areas are Downtown Dubai’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai Internet City, 2nd of December Street, Al Rigga and Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
The use of e-scooters anywhere else in Dubai is strictly forbidden by the authorities and can lead to offenders being stopped by police.

The low down on MPS
What is myofascial pain syndrome?
Myofascial pain syndrome refers to pain and inflammation in the body’s soft tissue. MPS is a chronic condition that affects the fascia (connective tissue that covers the muscles, which develops knots, also known as trigger points).
What are trigger points?
Trigger points are irritable knots in the soft tissue that covers muscle tissue. Through injury or overuse, muscle fibres contract as a reactive and protective measure, creating tension in the form of hard and, palpable nodules. Overuse and sustained posture are the main culprits in developing trigger points.
What is myofascial or trigger-point release?
Releasing these nodules requires a hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to release muscular shortness and tightness. This eliminates restrictions in connective tissue in orderto restore motion and alleviate pain. Therapy balls have proven effective at causing enough commotion in the tissue, prompting the release of these hard knots.
