3/4/24, 11:00 AM Dubai Municipality undertakes a new agricultural beautification project in the Emirate at the crossroads of Al Meydan and Al Khail | …
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.
