The end of 2022 is just around the corner. Now is a perfect time to look over the challenging year and embrace its results. Dubai surely has a lot of exciting projects to brag about: from new districts to new skyscrapers, from to be completed developments to open to public wonders.  

Let’s look into the megaprojects of Dubai in 2022.  


1. Al Quoz Creative Zone


Al Quoz Creative Zone One is planned to be one of the world’s largest creative hubs. It is set to be a residence for more than 8,000 people and a point of attraction to about 33,000 people a day. 


2. Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park


It is the largest single-site solar park in the world. Upon completion, it will eliminate more than 6.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.


3. Dubai Urban Tech District


The project is 140,000 square meters of built-up area in the Al Jaddaf district and aimed to create 4,000 jobs in green urban technology, education, and training.

4. Dubai Islands


The project’s idea is “to redefine the concept of waterfront living”:

  • 5 islands with a total square area of 17 sq km
  • more than 20 km of beaches
  • 2 sq km of parks and open spaces
  • premium golf courses overlooking the Arabian Gulf 
  • more than 80 resorts and hotels


5. Uptown Tower

Uptown Tower is the 14th tallest tower in Dubai. It plans to be 340 m high on completion. 


6. Mohammed bin Rashid Library


The Mohammed bin Rashid Library is a magnificent project which finally opened its doors to the public on June 16, 2022. It has 7 floors and 9 thematic libraries.

7. Royal Atlantis Resort

The second Royal Atlantis project is eye-catching, too. The 43-story hotel has 2 wings that are linked by an infinity swimming pool that is 90 meters above the ground.


The right-wing will house 231 residences while the left will be made up of 795 guest suites. The hotel will also feature 90 swimming pools. 

8. District 2020

Expo 2020 Dubai becomes District 2020. This project is to be open to its first corporate tenants very soon.

As District 2020, it will become the UAE’s first 15-minute city, a cycle-friendly, traffic-free suburb of the growing metropolis.


It will include: 

  • a route for self-driving vehicles
  • a 10-kilometer cycling track
  • interconnected pedestrian pathways
  • a 5km jogging track
  • space for 85 start-ups and small businesses

9. Meydan One Mall

This project is more than shopping and restaurants. It’s about a living, breathing experience, including:

  • a 1km-long indoor ski slope and winter village
  • a 400-meter Central Canyon
  • football and cricket amenities


10. One Zaabeel

One Zaabeel consists of 2 towers connected by a 7,700-tonne bridge “The Link”. 

The Link will host restaurants and an observation deck. 

The project is located next to Dubai’s Trade Centre and when completed will feature luxury residences, a hotel, offices, and retail spaces.
