If you’ve recently flown into Dubai, you might have noticed a big, beautiful new sign welcoming you to the city. A massive “Welcome To Dubai” sign, written in both English and Arabic, has been installed near Dubai International Airport (DXB) as part of a Dhs26 million beautification project. You can see the sign from the intersection of Airport Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
It’s one of the first things visitors see when they arrive in Dubai unless, of course, the iconic Burj Khalifa catches your eye first.
Welcome to Dubai
This project is a part of Dubai’s efforts to make the city even more attractive. It covers an area of over 360,000 square meters and is one of the largest beautification projects in the city. The area around the sign has been transformed into a new green space, complete with beautiful plants and shrubs.
Key Features
- Decorative Elements: The area around the sign features colorful gravel and plenty of lighting, making it visible day and night.
- Greenery: Over 50,000 plants and shrubs, along with various types of vegetation, have been carefully chosen to make the space more vibrant.
- Sustainable Practices: Modern irrigation systems have been installed to keep the plants healthy while conserving water, balancing urban development with sustainability.
Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said this project aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The goal is to make Dubai the best city in the world to live in. The city plans to double its efforts on green and sustainable projects to meet the high expectations of both visitors and residents.
Conclusion
This new “Welcome To Dubai” sign is more than just a greeting—it’s a symbol of Dubai’s commitment to beauty, sustainability, and world-class living. Keep an eye out for it on your next trip to the city!
By creating these beautiful green spaces, Dubai continues to set a global standard as a unique and attractive destination for tourists and residents alike.
