The Falaj does not require pumps or machines as water flows through it thanks to gravity
The UAE Swat Challenge 2024, which ran from February 3 to February 7, saw police forces from all around the world come to the Emirates to participate in the high-octane competition - which features a cash prize of $260,000.
The challenge not only saw a host of competent teams demonstrate their best techniques - both in the arena and in e-sport games - but also featured strong all-women teams from different countries, including the UAE. In addition, among the highly qualified 30-person panel of international judges was Lieutenant Maitha Mohammed Seif of Dubai Police - the only female judge in the competition.

She grew to be a specialist in the field of sharpshooting, rising through the ranks from the the Dubai Police shooting team to the UAE national shooting team.
She then took various courses, including a shooting instructor course in South Africa and specialised training conducted by Dubai Police, in order to become a judge. Seif is a certified judge with the Emirates Shooting Association.
In 2020, Seif joined the UAE Swat Challenge as a judge, and has since performed her duties with fairness and transparency, placing an emphasis on competition rules and participant safety.
