Dubai is known for its modern and futuristic skyline, but the emirate also boasts a rich history and cultural heritage that dates back several decades. In an effort to preserve the architectural and cultural heritage of Dubai, a project has been initiated to protect 35 buildings that reflect the emirate’s recent architectural history. These buildings, which range from the 1960s to the 1990s, tell the story of Dubai’s historical, cultural, social, and economic transformations over the years.

The project is the second phase of an initiative to safeguard areas, sites, and buildings of significant historical relevance in Dubai. It aims to highlight the vision of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s rapid development and modernization during that period. The first phase of the project focused on preserving buildings from Dubai’s earlier historical periods, while the current phase focuses on buildings from the more recent past.

Some of the prominent sites that will be preserved as part of this project include the Jumeirah Zoo, Al Nasr Leisureland, Clock Tower, the Flame Monument, and the water tank at Al Khazzan Park. These buildings have played a significant role in the lives of long-term UAE residents and hold special memories for many people in the emirate. By safeguarding these buildings, the project aims to ensure that Dubai’s architectural and cultural heritage is preserved for future generations.

The Jumeirah Zoo, one of the earliest zoos in the country, opened in 1967 and was a popular attraction for residents and visitors alike. Al Nasr Leisureland, an entertainment center dating back to the 1990s, was a hub for recreational activities such as skating, bowling, and arcade games. The water tank at Al Khazzan Park, originally built in 1980, is a distinctive landmark in Dubai’s landscape and was rebuilt in 2012 to become the first “zero-energy” park in the emirate.

Other notable buildings that will be preserved include the Dubai Municipality Main Building, Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Palace in Hatta, Jumeirah Mosque, and the Flame Monument in Deira. These buildings hold historical significance and serve as reminders of Dubai’s past and its journey towards rapid development and modernization. By preserving these buildings, the project aims to create a tangible connection to the emirate’s history and cultural heritage.

In addition to the buildings mentioned above, several other structures such as Rashid Tower, Dubai Television Building, Emirates Post Building, and Dubai Courts Building will also be maintained and protected as part of the project. These buildings represent different aspects of Dubai’s development and growth over the years, and their preservation is essential in retaining the emirate’s unique identity and heritage. Overall, the project aims to ensure that Dubai’s rich architectural and cultural heritage is safeguarded for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
