Crackdown on begging, 33 arrested by Dubai Police during Ramzan

Dubai Police have arrested 33 beggars of various nationalities in the first ten days of Ramzan, as part of their annual anti-begging campaign under the slogan “A Conscious Society, Free of Beggars.”

The campaign aims to protect Dubai’s civilised image



by cracking down on begging and raising public awareness.

Begging remains a persistent issue during Ramzan, with individuals targeting prayer gatherings, public spaces, and markets, or soliciting fake online donations for mosque construction or humanitarian aid.
