Just when you think you have seen it all in Dubai, a brand new attraction gets announced.
Similar to Hollywood, Dubai is all set to have its very own version of the 'Walk of Fame’ to be situated along the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, in Downtown Dubai, and paying tribute to up to 10,000 international celebrities.
Called ‘Dubai Stars’, the first phase will feature 400 international stars and influencers who have made a difference in the world through their work in various fields including music, film, art, architecture, sports, and literature.
The first 400 stars will be decided through votes on social media campaigns, and will be unveiled at a glitzy event in October in the presence of all 400 featured celebrities.
Dubai Stars, by the time it is completed, will have over 10,000 stars, about four times the number of stars featured on the Hollywood 'Walk of Fame'.
Speaking on the launch of Dubai Stars, Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties said “Emaar takes pride in ensuring the best lifestyle experience for both residents and visitors to Dubai. With Dubai Stars we are further highlighting our commitment to making Dubai the best city in the world, and to promoting arts, culture and sports by saluting the stars, whose contributions continue to inspire the world.”
