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.
