Dubai Municipality (DM) has successfully completed the beautification works for four prominent roundabouts such as Al Raqa, Nad Al Sheba, Nad Al Hamar and Al Khawanej roundabouts.

 

The Dubai Public Roundabout Beauty Project is a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the composition and visual aesthetics of Dubai and comes in line with the "Art in Public Spaces" strategy, designed to transform the Emirate into an open, universal, and accessible art demonstration, further solidifying its status as a global city with a rich cultural and artistic heritage. 

 

This project is one of the many projects undertaken by the Municipality to enhance the aesthetic and civilisational aspects of public spaces within the Emirate through innovative artistic designs that reflect the modern and urban essence of Dubai while harmonizing with its overall aesthetic.

 

Al-Warqa Roundabout

The new design of Al-Warqa (leaf) Roundabout draws its inspiration from the area's name, featuring a central structure adorned with intricate leaf bird design encircling the roundabout's ring. This central structure stands at a height of 3.5 metres and has a thickness of 240 centimetres. 

 

Similarly, the design of Nad Al-Hamar Roundabout is influenced by the area's name and visually resembles rose petals reflecting the contours of the red dunes nearby. This design, with heights ranging from 1.9 to 2.9 metres, evokes the beauty of Nad Al-Hamar Garden. 

 

As for Nad Al-Sheba Roundabout, it takes its concept from the term NAD, symbolizing the elevated earthy hills in the region. The roundabout's configuration mirrors the rhythmic patterns of ocean waves, with heights varying from 0.6 to 2.0 metres. 

 

Al-Khawanej Roundabout

Meanwhile, Al-Khawanej Roundabout derives its inspiration from the area's name, associated with a freshwater well known as Al-Khawanej. This 3-metre-tall roundabout showcases a farm inspired by the desert agricultural heritage of the local inhabitants, reflecting their essential trade and cultural practices.

 

The Municipality carried out agricultural activities within roundabouts, incorporating green spaces, Sesuvium, Pennisetum, bougainvillea, Ruellia and seasonal flowers.--TradeArabia News Service
