Al Hajri said, “Dubai Municipality prioritises the development of agricultural
beautification projects with a primary goal of enhancing the ever-renewing vitality of
Dubai according to integrated world-class standards, in addition to fostering
sustainability in Dubai by actively implementing innovative irrigation technologies that
rely on fully recycled water.”

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.
