Speaking to Muscat Daily Eng Badr bin Ali al Bahri, director common of Muscat Municipality in Seeb stated, “The municipality has placed concrete barriers on some parts of the Seeb beach to prevent vehicles from entering there. This poses a risk to those walking on the beach especially to children.”
The Seeb directorate has place alert notices along the beach warning automobile owners against the practice. Malik bin Hilal al Yahmadi, a member of the Municipal Council, stated, “Riding bicycles and vehicles on public beaches is an uncivilised act that can harm marine life and visitors to the beach.”
