The announcement came on Sunday as Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive

The initial phase covered 17 archaeological sites, 14 historical areas, and 741
buildings.
In a video shared on social media by the Government of Dubai Media Office

“revolving restaurant” (on top of Hyatt Regency Dubai), among others.
