Dubai has released a list of places where you can fill up your bottle of drinking
water for free.
Dubai authorities have designated more than 50 points in the emirate where you can
fill up your bottle with clean drinking water for free. These stations are
conveniently located in popular areas such as beaches, parks, shopping malls
and tourist attractions.
The establishment of public drinking water stations is part of the Dubai Can
initiative, which aims to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and
Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, launched the Dubai Can initiative in 2022.
Since its launch in February 2022, it has reduced the consumption of nearly 18
million 500ml single-use plastic water bottles.
The aim of this citywide movement is to encourage UAE residents to stop consuming
plastic and make more sustainable decisions in their daily lives.
