A new project is now underway in the middle of Dubai Creek — Aladdin City — as part of the first phase of construction.
While Dubai Creek is currently bidding to become a Unesco World Heritage Site, officials confirmed that the project is being built outside the restricted zone and will not have any impact on the creek’s bid.
“The symbolic content of the architectural form of the project buildings was inspired by the ancient legends from the 11th century, where vessels were sailed from Dubai Creek to the coast of East Africa, India and China. It may have been here where the tales of Sindbad and Aladdin came from,’ said Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality.
The project will includes commercial offices and hotels in three towers spread over a distance of 450 metres. Lootah yesterday announced that the project is located within the traditional commercial vessels port at Dubai Creek in Al Rigga, out of the old area of Dubai city, and also includes several facilities, such as parking buildings.
