H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of Dubai Executive
Council, and Chairman of Dubai’s Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs, issued directives to establish
a new Thukher Club for senior citizens in Al Khawaneej area in Dubai. The club will serve as a community hub designed
to promote the wellbeing and quality of life of senior citizens.

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan said, “The establishment of a new Thukher Club for senior citizens aligns with the vision and
directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of
Dubai, to promote the wellbeing of senior citizens and provide them with the best possible care and support. It also
closely aligns with the objectives of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which focuses on building happier and more cohesive
families.”

His Highness added, “Dubai cherishes and respects its senior citizens and is committed to ensuring their full integration
and active participation in society. Our senior citizens have been instrumental in shaping Dubai's remarkable success
story and contributing to the nation's development as one of the world’s best cities. It is therefore our duty to show them
appreciation and provide the support, care and empowerment necessary for them to enjoy a high quality of life.”

To be built over an area of 20,000 square feet, the club will include a wellness centre with personalised nutrition and
fitness services. It will serve as a social and cultural hub featuring a library, theatre and smart platforms to help senior
citizens easily access government services. The centre will also foster intergenerational connections through an
interactive café.

The new Thukher Club building will feature three main sections designed to offer comprehensive services for senior
citizens, focusing on promoting wellbeing, health and fitness, and fostering stronger community bonds.
