The Dubai Road Naming Committee was established by Executive Council Resolution No. (35) of 2021
and is led by the Director General of Dubai Municipality.It includes the Director General of the Dubai
Culture and Arts Authority, CEO of the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Center, CEO of the Traffic and
Roads Agency at the RTA, and four experienced and expert representatives of Dubai citizens – Mr.
Abdullah Thani Al Mataroushi, Mr. Hameed Sultan Al Matyouai, Mr. Juma Bin Thalith, and Mr. Rashid
Boukhash.
The committee follows a specific criterion for naming roads in the emirate, aiming to highlight Dubai’s
national identity by reflecting its history, heritage, values, and cultural, civilizational, and social richness.
The naming process fundamentally relies on the principle of inference, achieved by creating a method
that allows people to connect with the mental image of a place through its names, signs, and location
details. With this new approach, street names will possess a unique and distinct character, making it
easierto reach destinations seamlessly using the new addressing system.
