Dubai is going greener — literally. To mark 20 years since His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum took leadership, the city is rolling out a plan to plant 20,000 trees across key areas.
The initiative is all about adding more green to everyday spaces, from parks and neighborhoods to schools, while pushing Dubai’s sustainability goals forward.
A Citywide Green Push
The project is being led by Dubai Municipality and the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), with support from schools, universities, private companies, and community volunteers.
KHDA will handle coordination with participating institutions, keeping track of how many trees are planted and what kinds they are. Dubai Municipality will supply the saplings and oversee planting across the city.
Where the Trees Will Go
The new trees will be planted in several well-known locations, including Al Barsha South, Al Barsha Pond Park, Nakheel Park, Al Safa Park in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Quoz Pond Park, Al Warqa’a 3, and the Quranic Garden in Al Khawaneej. Other sites include Al Mizhar Second and Blossoms Park at Nad Al Sheba.
In short: more shade, more greenery, and more reasons to enjoy the outdoors.
Part of Dubai’s Bigger Green Plan
This tree-planting drive supports Dubai’s Green Project and aligns with the Dubai Urban Master Plan 2040. The long-term goal is simple — more landscaped areas, easier access to green spaces, and a healthier environment for everyone living in the city.
