Officers regularly patrol the promenade on foot, bicycles, and segways. * **Emergency Numbers:** * National Emergency Number: 112 * Police: 100 * Ambulance: 108 * Fire: 101 * **Water Safety:** Swimming in Sukhna Lake is strictly prohibited. Boating is regulated by CITCO, and life jackets are mandatory for all passengers. Rescue boats are always on standby. * **Visitor Tips:** The lake gets crowded on weekends; visitors are advised to keep an eye on personal belongings.
