Dubai to dazzle the world with iconic New Year's Eve Gala at Burj Khalifa

Dubai, UAE: Dubai is all set to dazzle the world once again with its iconic New Year's Eve Gala by Emaar Properties at Downtown Dubai.


 
An experience of a lifetime, the spectacular fireworks display at Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, is set to underscore its credentials as the most popular New Year's celebration across the globe, with millions of visitors expected to attend the festivities in Downtown Dubai.

Hosting over 1.7 million visitors from around the world last year - more than the number of visitors at New Year's galas in New York, London, and Sydney - the Downtown Dubai New Year's Eve Gala, this year, will be differentiated by ten unprecedented fireworks acts.

With several viewing points for visitors in Downtown Dubai, the New Year's celebration will also be streamed live on www.youtube.com/DowntownDubai, reaching millions of online audiences in real time. Emaar has joined forces with government entities across the Emirate to guarantee the celebration of a lifetime.

Emaar is also promoting active online engagement with the spectators encouraged to upload photographs and videos of the New Year's Eve celebrations on social networks, using the hashtag #BeThere.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director, Emaar Properties, said: "The New Year's Eve Gala at Burj Khalifa enjoys iconic status globally and underlines Dubai's reputation as the must-visit destination to usher in the New Year. Dubai's gala at Downtown Dubai will significantly add to the city's civic pride, boost the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors, and salute the city's win to host the World Expo 2020, with visitors expected from all over the world."

He added: "Emaar's New Year's celebration is a salute to the positivity, hope, and cheer that Dubai brings to the world. Through the gala, we are inviting the world to welcome the New Year in one of the most dynamic cities. This year, the fireworks display will be extra special with ten spectacular effects, some rising higher than 1 km, which not only salute our nation and the city, but also the design of Burj Khalifa."

In addition to several vantage-viewing galleries, the public can enjoy the fireworks from the central Burj Park, which will wear a festive ambience with a number of temporary kiosks for food & beverage and New Year merchandise. The event has already recorded strong buzz globally with robust advance booking for hotel rooms in Downtown Dubai.
Starting with a dramatic display of effects racing up to the pinnacle of Burj Khalifa, 828 metres high, the display will then salute the nation with the green, red, and white hues of the UAE National Flag. Flowers in the colours of the National Flag will cascade down the tower, before silver pearls will burst from the pinnacle of Burj Khalifa in a sparkling celebration of Dubai's success and awe-inspiring development. In a gesture of the warm welcome that Dubai extends to the world, the next act will witness thousands of amethysts launched in every direction and filling the sky.

Integrating shades of amber and with silver illumination flowing down the tower in gentle elegance, the next act is a tribute to Burj Khalifa and the global collaboration it has promoted. The other acts include elegant green and gold willow comets, silhouetting the vertical lines of the building; and a recreation of the design inspiration of the tower, with fireworks evolving like petals and wrapping it up the tower much like the Hymenocallis desert flower, which inspired the design of Burj Khalifa.

The grand finale will be a true masterpiece in fireworks display with every direction being lit up dramatically and a golden lattice being formed across the sky. Rainbow effects will fill all over Downtown Dubai as Dubai ushers in 2014.
Emaar is providing live satellite feeds of the New Year's Eve celebration to global audiences, with details of frequency and uplink to be provided shortly.

Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties sign joint venture to develop The Lagoons

Dubai, UAE; October 7, 2013: Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties PJSC today signed a joint venture agreement to develop The Lagoons, a magnificent waterfront city that will define the ambitious new face of Dubai's future, within Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City).

A master-planned city for tomorrow's youth with state-of-the-art technology networks, the project is spread over an area of 6 million sq metres (over 1,482 acres). Over three times the size of Downtown Dubai, the integrated development creates a dynamic environment for tomorrow's world, and takes into account the rapidly evolving lifestyle aspirations of the tech-savvy and connected youth community.
Inspired and built by the banks of the Dubai Creek, the historic source of the city's development and the cradle of Dubai's heritage, this prestigious project will bridge modernity with tradition, by upholding the core values that have shaped Dubai as a cosmopolitan hub that is home to over 200 nationalities.
A Future City for Tomorrow's Youth
In a joint statement, Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, and Ahmad Bin Byat, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding, said: "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, constantly reminds us that Dubai has achieved less than 10 per cent of its development potential. Dubai has always been a forward-looking city, and today, as we enter our next phase of growth led by our youth, it is important that National Champion companies such as Dubai Holding and Emaar work jointly to launch projects that are important to boost the city's future development.
"As the city further underlines its credentials as a global hub by welcoming professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world, and led by the Dubai Tourism Vision to record 20 million visitors by the turn of the decade, it is important to continue to build our world-class infrastructure to meet future needs. The project, which will be a new catalyst for growth and create robust opportunities for commerce and entrepreneurship, will set new benchmarks in urban development, with its focus on the tech-savvy and connected youth population who are taking centrestage in driving Dubai's impressive growth.
"We are thus creating a vibrant destination that will not only address their lifestyle requirements of modern retail, entertainment and hospitality, but also connect them to their Arab heritage. This prestigious development fulfills His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's vision by creating a world-class infrastructure that will firmly establish Dubai as one of the Top 10 global cities by 2020. Truly world-class in design, it will be an inspiring work, play and live environment with several iconic developments, further driving the city's growth."
An Iconic New Skyline for Dubai
At the heart of the project is The Dubai Twin Towers, a mixed-use iconic development that defines a new skyline for the city, and is envisaged to join the rank of the world's most prestigious skyscrapers.
The fully integrated community brings a new aspirational lifestyle with a central business district, an entrepreneurial zone, cultural amenities, residences, premium and affordable luxury hotels, educational facilities, healthcare centres, a waterfront shopping mall and a wide range of leisure choices. All these key components of this world-class development are designed as inter-connected districts, around waterfronts and green boulevards.
A New City Centre
The project stretches from the banks of the Dubai Creek, through central parcels of land linked to Al Khail Road and across Ras Al Khor. It serves as a modern architectural continuum from Dubai Creek to the modern business and lifestyle centres of the city today.
The distinguishing feature of the development is its focus on creating distinctive neighbourhoods, which are pedestrian friendly. It will be supported by several sustainable transport modes including a direct link with Dubai Metro's Red and Green Lines, an eco-tram system, light monorail, and water taxis.
The sweeping waterfront of the project lined by retail, commercial and residential zones will be built around two central parks. The 'green' theme will further resonate in several environmental-friendly features including eco-resorts, water features, and gardens. A number of small marinas will also be developed across the waterfront, providing the entire spectrum of lifestyle choices for residents and visitors.

More space for women on Dubai Metro

RTA expands female compartment space for peak hour rides

Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

Dubai: More space is being provided for female commuters of Dubai Metro with the rising demand and changing pattern of ridership, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced.

With the current women-only compartment being insufficient, RTA has moved to add half a cabin for women during peak hours. The total number of cars on the Metro is five, one of which is divided into a Gold compartment and a female compartment. The expansion will limit the general commuters to three and a half cabins.

“We do regular studies and we have a system of receiving complaints and feedback. We received several requests from female commuters for expanding the women only space on the Metro,” Ramadan Abdullah, Director of Metro operations at RTA’s Rail Agency, said.

Following the requests from commuters, he added, RTA carried out a survey to find out whether there is actually a need for expansion.

“We found out that during peak hours the women-only cabins are more congested when compared to the mixed cabins so we took the decision to expand the space for women during peak hours,” he explained.

The survey also found out that there has been a noticeable increase in the number of women using the Metro over the last couple of years.

“As more women and children are using the Metro now, we want to make sure the Metro trip is smoother and more comfortable for them, especially as this segment of Metro users need more privacy and security,” he added.

The extension service will be active from September 1 during peak hours from 7am to 9am and from 5pm to 8pm from Sunday to Thursday.

Abdullah said that the additional space would not only offer greater comfort to women but also easy movement of strollers and bags.

The additional spaces are clearly marked on all the trains and Metro security officers will be on hand to make sure there is no violation.

“I think this is an excellent move by RTA. This has been due for long as the ridership on the Metro has increased and during peak hours the female compartments are generally packed and more space would surely help,” said Nafia Rahman, a regular commuter.

However, expanding the women-only compartment on the Metro means taking away space from the general compartment, which is also cramped during peak hours.

“To me it doesn’t make sense. I understand the need for privacy and security of women but reducing the space from the general compartment will cause more problems for general commuters, who are cramped for space during peak hours,” said Dinesh Gor, who takes peak hour trains twice daily.

Currently, Dubai Metro transports around 400,000 commuters on both Red and Green lines daily. Catering to the growing demand, RTA has reduced the peak hour train frequency on the Red line to three minutes.

“Addressing the commuters’ concern we have reduced the peak hour train frequency to every three minutes. We have added more trains, with 46 trains running on the Red line alone during peak hours. This will ensure commuters spend less time waiting while also ensuring that trains are less cramped,” stated Abdullah.

The five-cabin Dubai Metro can accommodate around 650 passengers, with each cabin having a capacity of 130 passengers. Following the expansion the female compartment on each train will accommodate around 130 passengers, which is double the earlier number.
