3/4/24, 10:55 AM Dubai Municipality undertakes a new agricultural beautification project in the Emirate at the crossroads of Al Meydan and Al Khail

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.
