3/4/24, 11:00 AM Dubai Municipality initiates new agricultural beautification project at Al Meydan, Al Khail crossroads
The patterns of horse hoof prints have inspired the design of the intersection. The
outcome is a unique artwork that combines elements of wild nature with thoughtfully

chosen ornamental plants. To elevate the city's aesthetic appeal, the municipality

has enriched the landscape by planting diverse evergreen tree species.

Additionally, the area where the two 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.

The 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 utilising 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 more than 185,000 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

the municipality's commitment to afforestation, demonstrating a dedication to

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