The announcement came on Sunday as Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin

               Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive

               Council of Dubai, approved the second phase of the project.


               This brings the total number of sites covered by both phases to 807 so far.

               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

               on Sunday, elderly residents spoke about their memories of landmarks such

               as the Clock Tower Roundabout, the old Dubai Airport terminal, and the

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