Inspired idea

The design of the intersection at Al Meydan and Al Khail roads has been inspired by

the patterns of horse hoof prints. The outcome is a unique artwork that combines

elements of wild nature with thoughtfully chosen ornamental plants. To elevate the

aesthetic appeal of the city, the Municipality has enriched the landscape by planting

diverse evergreen tree species.

Planting Chorisia tress for the first time

Additionally, the area where Al Meydan and Al Khail Roads intersect will be adorned

with ‘Chorisia’ trees (Chorisia Speciosa), marking its inaugural planting in Dubai. This

tree, belonging to the mallow family, features a broad, swollen stem that serves as a
water reservoir. It also features large pink-red flowers.

Dubai Municipality consistently carries out agricultural beautification projects that

adhere to the highest global standards. These efforts integrate innovative design
elements and employ cutting-edge irrigation techniques utilizing recycled water. The

goal is to promote the sustainability of environmental resources.

In 2023, the Municipality accomplished an exceptional milestone in tree planting

within the Emirate, with the successful planting of over 185 thousand trees, fulfilling

the complete objectives of the Green Dubai initiative. This achievement led to the
addition of an extra 234 hectares to the green area in Dubai. It further underscores

Dubai Municipality’s commitment to afforestation, demonstrating a dedication to

expanding vegetation and improving the per capita allocation of green spaces.
