Dubai Walk - a new ecosystem of walking routes in Dubai

In December 2024, Sheikh Mohammed announced the launch of the Dubai Walk project to improve the pedestrian road network and add new routes. The program is being implemented as part of the ambitious Dubai 2040 project, with authorities promising to make the city pedestrian-friendly in 16 years.

For residents will build 3,300 km of new pedestrian roads and upgrade 2,300 km of existing ones. The city will have 110 pedestrian bridges and tunnels to make it more convenient to travel to a neighboring area. Walk or bike.

The first phase of the project is planned in the Museum of the Future neighborhood, where they will create a 2 kilometer long suspended pedestrian boulevard with 2 levels. And it will be easy to walk from DIFC to the WTC.

The lower part of the boulevard is covered with air-conditioned plazas for summer time. And the upper level is a walking park with bike lanes and green trees. This suspended boulevard will connect ten key sites in the city.

Along the beaches, 100 kilometers of new pedestrian boulevards will be developed. Also, 64 kilometers of promenades will be added in the central districts of Dubai.
