By OneArabia

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman
of The Executive Council of Dubai, has given his approval for the second phase of a project
dedicated to preserving Dubai's heritage architecture. This initiative is part of a larger effort to
protect the emirate's cultural and architectural heritage, as well as maintain its rich identity. The
project aims to safeguard areas, sites, and buildings that hold significant historical relevance
and tell the story of Dubai's past.

The second phase of the project focuses on the preservation of 35 areas, sites, and buildings
dating from the 1960s to the 1990s. This comes after the successful completion of the first
phase, which covered buildings from Dubai's earlier history. Sheikh Hamdan stated that this
project reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice
President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The goal is to raise Dubai's profile
as a global cultural destination and preserve its unique national character.

Dubai's heritage is an integral aspect of its identity, connecting the community to its history and
roots. By protecting its heritage architecture, Dubai aims to promote a deeper understanding
among citizens, residents, and visitors of what has shaped the emirate into the thriving global
metropolis it is today. Sheikh Hamdan emphasized that the preservation of heritage areas in
Dubai is an ongoing endeavor aimed at preserving the cultural authenticity across the emirate.
