A green greeting from Dubai Municipality for visitors arriving at DXB airport
As visitors approach Dubai from the air, they are greeted with a stunning view of the transformed intersection at Airport Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Spanning over 360,000 square metres, this iconic landscape makes a memorable first impression, showcasing Dubai Municipality’s commitment to making Dubai more beautiful every day.
The lush greenery and vibrant plants spell out “Welcome to Dubai” in both Arabic and English, which is clearly visible from the sky. Using advanced lighting systems and eco-friendly irrigation technologies, Dubai Municipality has created a captivating visual experience for travellers arriving by aeroplane, day and night.
This project is part of our broader programme to increase green spaces across the Emirate in line with Dubai’s mission to balance urban development with sustainable practices. By supporting initiatives like the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan we will ensure that Dubai continues its drive to be one of the most eco-friendly cities in the world, where modern life and nature exist side by side.
