Dubai announces

DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates city of Dubai has unveiled a groundbreaking project that has captured global attention — the world’s first Gold Street, set to be constructed within the Dubai Gold District.

According to Arab media, the construction of the Gold District is already underway. Once completed, it will serve as a global hub for gold and jewelry trade, offering a unique landmark for the industry and tourists alike.

The Gold Street will be specially designed with gold elements to create a memorable destination for visitors and buyers from around the world.

The project aims not just at aesthetics but at positioning Dubai as the most modern and distinctive center for gold and jewelry trade globally.

The district will function as a comprehensive gold hub, integrating retail, wholesale, investment, and the full jewelry value chain under a single roof.

More than 1,000 retailers, including internationally renowned brands, are expected to operate in the district.

Beyond commerce, the Gold District is set to become a major tourist attraction for international visitors, buyers, and investors.

Facilities will include at least six hotels offering over 1,000 guest rooms to accommodate global tourists.

Notably, the UAE exported approximately $53.41 billion worth of gold last year, making it the second-largest physical gold trading hub in the world, with major trade partners including Switzerland, the UK, India, Hong Kong, and Turkey.

This ambitious project further reinforces Dubai’s position as a global capital for gold and luxury jewelry.
