Phased Rollout and Key Routes

The project has been divided into three phases, with the pilot phase implemented from the year 2025 to 2027. The first 17km of pedestrian-friendly routes will focus on two areas:

  • The first one is the Al Ras Historical Route – for this particular route, 25 public areas to be revitalized and incorporated into the project are parks and rest stops as well as art objects that will tell the stories of the city tradition and culture of Dubai.
  • Al Souk Al Kabeer – With the intention of generating an active pedestrian environment that embraces cultural heritage structures.

There will also be beautiful landscaping connection to city hotspots like Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina, DIFC, and JLT to give a glimpse of the richer flavors of the city.
