Dubai’s iconic Sheikh Zayed Road neighbourhood has undergone a significant transformation, now bearing the distinguished name of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower standing proudly at 830 meters.
Celebrating its 14th anniversary, the Burj Khalifa commands attention along the bustling Emirate’s busiest thoroughfare, overshadowing other renowned skyscrapers.
This noteworthy change is part of a larger initiative by the Dubai Land Department, encompassing 28 renaming endeavors across the city.
The Sheikh Zayed Road segment in Dubai encompasses a plethora of structures, housing apartments, offices, hotel accommodations, and more.
Renowned for its strategic location near landmarks like Downtown, Business Bay, JLT, and Dubai Marina, the area has become a hotspot for investors, renters, and tourists.
Among the notable alterations, Motor City is now recognized as Al Hebiah First, Ranches as Wadi Al Asafa 6, Sports City as Al Hebiah Fourth, and Al Quoz 2 as Ghadeer Al Tair. The comprehensive list of the 28 renamed areas, along with their respective area codes, has been disclosed.
