Crown Prince of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, today approved a package of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing citizens' quality of life and developing an integrated social and development system aligned with the goals of the Dubai Social Agenda 33.
These included the second phase of the ‘Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum Family Programme’, which aims to support the growth and stability of Emirati families in Dubai; the third phase of the Community Majalis project, which seeks to deepen social bonds in local residential areas; the Vibrant Dubai initiative aimed at improving the health and fitness levels of Dubai Government employees; and the ‘Barzat Dubai’ project, which provides community spaces for interaction and engagement among neighbourhood residents.
His Highness affirmed that enhancing the quality of life of citizens and Emirati families is a strategic priority in Dubai’s development journey, noting that the family is the foundation of society’s prosperity and sustainable progress.
“Today, during the meeting of the Higher Committee, we launched a package of strategic initiatives, including the second phase of the ‘Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum Family Programme’, continuing a comprehensive effort to empower the Emirati family and strengthen its stability,” His Highness said.
He added: “We also approved the Dubai Family-Friendly Strategy to build an integrated ecosystem that supports families at every stage of life, enhances stability, and raises quality of life.”
As part of the second phase of the Community Majalis project, His Highness approved the opening of four new majalis in Nad Al Sheba, Al Awir, Al Warqa, and Al Barsha South. He also approved the third phase of the project, which will see five additional majalis established in Nad Al Hamar, Jumeirah, Ghadeer Al Tair, Al Twar, and Lehbab.
The newly launched ‘Barzat Dubai’ project introduces a novel model for neighbourhood majalis within residential communities to strengthen social cohesion and communication among residents. The AED160 million project is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with completion scheduled for the third quarter of 2027.
The Vibrant Dubai initiative, a health and fitness programme for Dubai Government employees, is designed to enhance quality of life and workplace well-being. It has three key features: medical screenings, physical fitness assessments, and psychological readiness.
Additionally, His Highness approved the opening of the second branch of Thukher Club at the Quranic Park in Al Khawaneej, building on the success of the first branch at Al Safa Park.
