The intersection at Al Meydan and Al Khail Street has been cultivated with grass, flowers and
Chorisia trees as part of Dubai’s city beautification project. Covering an area of over 300,00
square metres, this project has been inspired by the patterns of horse hoof prints.
The intersection has been turned into a unique artwork that combines elements of nature with
specially chosen ornamental plants. To further improve the aesthetic appeal of the city, Dubai
Municipality (DM) has enriched the landscape by planting diverse evergreen tree species.
It is the first time that Chorisia trees are being planted in the emirate. 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. Its beauty has made it a popular choice to be planted along roads across
the world.
