Coping is the stone or tile capping the pool wall. It takes more abuse than any other part of the pool, and when it fails it causes leaks that never show as an obvious drop in water level.

Heat matters here
Nobody walks on that barefoot. This is worth more than the aesthetic difference in a Dubai garden.
How coping should be installed
Coping sits on a full mortar bed, not on dabs. There needs to be a flexible movement joint between the coping and the deck, because the pool structure and the surrounding slab move independently.
The hidden leak
Where coping has lifted, water splashed over the edge runs down behind the pool wall instead of back into the pool. You lose water without seeing an obvious leak, the ground behind the wall gets saturated, and eventually the deck settles.
Re-bedding loose coping is cheap. The consequences of leaving it are not.
What matters in Dubai
Dubai pool work needs coordination with the property layout, drainage and the surrounding landscape. A clear scope should separate structural work from finishes and equipment. That makes it easier to see what is included before work starts.
What to check before work starts
The existing pool or room should be inspected as a complete system. Visible damage may sit beside a separate problem in the pipework, controls, waterproofing or ventilation. A written scope should identify the affected parts and state which surrounding surfaces need protection or opening.
The site around the pool affects the technical choice. Access, drainage, planting and the position of the plant room should be reviewed together. A design that ignores the property usually creates awkward maintenance access later.
