History of Downtown Dubai
Conceived in the early 2000s as part of Dubai’s vision to create a world-class urban landmark, Downtown Dubai transformed what was once the Umm Al Tarif area into the city’s vibrant heart. Developed by Emaar Properties, the 2-square-kilometer district, launched in 2003, was anchored by monumental creations such as the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, and Dubai Fountain. Over the past two decades, Downtown Dubai has evolved into a global symbol of architecture, luxury, and innovation — a living showcase of Dubai’s ambition and enduring appeal to the world.
