In line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Municipality has successfully completed seven new beautification projects aimed at enhancing key intersections and roadsides on Sheikh Zayed and Al Khail Roads. These projects, valued at AED 245 million, cover over 1.4 million square meters.
The initiative, part of the ongoing “Green Dubai Project,” seeks to increase green spaces across the emirate and improve Dubai's visual identity by combining urban development with expansive greenery. The projects introduced 2.5 million flowers and ornamental plants, alongside 6,500 trees, complemented by advanced, water-efficient irrigation systems.
H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized that these efforts align with the city’s goal of enhancing its green coverage and ensuring sustainable urban development. He highlighted the importance of merging environmental sustainability with modern infrastructure to create a visually appealing and healthy environment for both residents and visitors.
