The most photographed coastline in Dubai is about to be redrawn.

From Burj Al Arab to Kite Beach β€” 3.1 kilometres β€” a new masterplan adds a third more sand, and a 38-metre tower to watch it all from.

The city doesn't just build beaches. It edits them.

Zabeel Park is getting a building that looks like it landed from somewhere gentler.

Therme Dubai β€” "Islands in the Sky" β€” will be the region's largest urban wellness resort: hanging gardens, thermal pools, a rainforest above the traffic.

A city famous for speed is quietly building a temple to slowness.

Dubai's longest beach won't belong to any hotel.

Jebel Ali: 6.6 uninterrupted kilometres of open coast β€” free, public, endless.

In a city of private shores, the biggest one is being given away.

Ninety minutes from Downtown, Dubai is building itself a beach β€” in the mountains.

Hatta: a turquoise crystal lagoon set into the Hajar range, with a cable car rising to the emirate's highest peak.

There is no sea here at all. Dubai decided that was negotiable.

The fastest thing in Dubai's police fleet has no wheels.

A custom-built drone just clocked 580 km/h over the Al Qudra desert β€” a new Guinness World Record, roughly 200 km/h faster than a Formula 1 car.

Even the patrols here break records.

By December, cash in Dubai becomes a souvenir.

The official target: 90% of every transaction in the city β€” public and private β€” digital by the end of 2026. Parking meters already stopped taking coins.

Most cities debate the future of money. This one set a deadline for it.

The most profitable airline on Earth doesn't fly from New York or London.

Emirates just closed the best year in its history β€” $41 billion in revenue, record profit, record cash.

Forty years ago, it started with two borrowed planes.

Some cities have an airline. This one built an empire that flies.

Dubai is building a second Palm β€” and the first one was just the rehearsal.

Palm Jebel Ali: twice the size of Palm Jumeirah, 91 kilometres of new beachfront, room for 35,000 families and 80 hotels.

The first keys are handed over this year.

Twenty years from now, "early" will mean today.

The world's tallest hotel isn't in New York, Shanghai or Riyadh.

It's Ciel β€” 377 metres over Dubai Marina, with a glass observation deck above every other hotel on the planet.

Dubai already held this record. It broke its own.

The most valuable shop in Dubai has no address in the city.

Dubai Duty Free just closed its best year ever β€” $2.4 billion in sales, records broken in ten of twelve months.

Somewhere between passport control and the gate, an entire economy lives.

The tallest residential building ever attempted is rising over Dubai Marina.

Six Senses Residences: 517 metres β€” higher than any apartment tower on Earth, with wellness floors above the clouds.

Completion 2028. The address of the decade is still being poured.

The world's most famous fountain was rebuilt from the lakebed up β€” and now its show is being rewritten.

New intelligent lighting, water shot higher than ever, choreography redesigned from scratch: the biggest reinvention since it first danced in 2009.

Some icons retire. In Dubai, they upgrade.

Last year, Dubai's property market moved 761 billion dirhams.

That's over $200 billion changing hands in a single city, in a single year β€” a record, again.

The world debates where wealth is going. The paperwork already answers.

No city on Earth has more branded homes than Dubai.

Armani, Bulgari, Bugatti, Baccarat β€” fashion houses and carmakers now build addresses here, not just boutiques.

When brands decide to become real estate, they all land on the same coastline.

Dubai just made its property market divisible.

The Land Department now lets you own a registered share of a real home from about AED 2,000 β€” the region's first government-backed tokenised title.

The skyline hasn't changed. Who gets to own it has.

Dubai's next megaproject isn't a tower. It's a footpath β€” 6,500 kilometres of it.

The Dubai Walk masterplan will thread the entire city together for pedestrians, with the first 112 kilometres ready by 2027.

The city that built for cars is quietly redesigning itself for people.

Deep in the desert, Dubai runs the largest single-site solar park on the planet.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park keeps growing toward 5,000 megawatts β€” enough to power well over a million homes.

In the land everyone associates with oil, the biggest power plant runs on light.
