He further mentioned that the second phase of the project encompasses the

restoration of 35 sites and buildings dating from the 1960s to the 1990s.

These structures reflect Dubai’s more recent architectural history and narrate

the story of the historical, cultural, social, and economic transformations that

Dubai has experienced. This phase highlights the profound impact of the late

Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum’s vision, which has significantly shaped
the city’s rapid development and modernisation during that period.

In the first phase of the project, Dubai Municipality focused on preserving

buildings from Dubai’s earlier historical periods. This phase aimed to

“document and protect” these structures, ensuring their preservation for future

generations. Buildings, sites and areas covered by this phase included the Al
Shindagha Heritage District, the Naif area, and Al Fahidi Historical

Neighbourhood, among others.
