  • Strict fishing laws – The applicable environmental fishing laws in Dubai are quite strict and extensive. Such a legislative environment led to the efficient protection of marine life in Dubai, which in turn resulted in a territorial sea rich in a diverse selection of marine fish occupying the waters of the Emirate. Examples of such fishing laws include the imposition of fishing bans on certain fish and for certain periods.
  • Diversity of fish – Another reason it is very popular to go fishing in Dubai is, as explained above, the diverse selection of fish inhabiting the waters of the Emirate. Many types of marine fish live in Dubai, such as the Queenfish, Barracuda, Cobia, King Mackerel, Tuna, Orange-spotted Grouper, Golden Trevally, Hardhead Catfish, Emperor Fish, and many others.
  • Good weather conditions – One of the critical factors to be considered before every fishing trip is weather conditions. Luckily, in Dubai, the weather is almost always suitable for fishing, with minimal wave heights and calm winds. Due to its shallow depth, the territorial sea of Dubai does not experience hurricanes or whirlpools and is considered safe most of the time. However, be sure to apply sunscreen at all times!
  • Abundance of fishing stores – There are so many fishing stores in Dubai, both physical and online. Such fishing stores readily provide all sorts of lures, jigs, and fishing tackle that are best tailored for fishing in Dubai. Fishing shops in Dubai are scattered across the Emirate and may commonly be found in areas close to the shoreline.


In conclusion, not only is Dubai good for fishing, but it is an amazing fishing destination that is sure to provide you with a memorable experience that will never be forgotten.
