Implemented in cooperation with the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai (RTA), the initiative was launched under the umbrella of the \u2018National Month\u2019 celebrations in Dubai and as part of the #ZayedAndRashid campaign.<\/p>\n

Extending from the Centrepoint station to the Expo 2020 station along the Dubai Metro Red Line, the visuals can be seen by thousands of daily commuters and visitors, serving as a powerful reminder of the pivotal role the founding leaders played in shaping the nation\u2019s progress and development.<\/p>\n

Shaima Al Suwaidi, Director of Brand Dubai, said:<\/strong> \u201cThis creative project forms part of the second edition of the #ZayedAndRashid campaign, organised by Brand Dubai under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council. The initiative honours the legacy of the Founding Fathers and celebrates their values, which continue to inspire current and future generations across the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cAs one of the city\u2019s most recognisable symbols of modernity and sustainability, the Dubai Metro provides an ideal platform to highlight the values of unity and partnership embodied by Sheikh Zayed and Sheikh Rashid from the earliest days of the Union. We greatly appreciate the partnership with RTA in bringing this work to life, reflecting the close harmony between national identity and Dubai\u2019s contemporary urban landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fatma Al Khumiri, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communication\u00a0at RTA, said<\/strong>\u00a0that the initiative aligns with RTA\u2019s vision to reinforce\u00a0national identity across the public transport network, which serves millions of passengers each year.\u00a0\u201cThe Dubai Metro\u00a0has become a dynamic space that not only connects communities but also\u00a0highlights\u00a0shared values and strengthens collective belonging. Decorating the carriages with images of the\u00a0Founding\u00a0Fathers reflects Dubai\u2019s ongoing journey of uniting authenticity with progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dubai Metro creative installation is part of a wider programme of events and activations organised by Brand Dubai as part of the\u2018National Month\u2019 celebrations in Dubai. These include the Flag Garden at Umm Suqeim Beach, the large-scale creative artwork on The Gate Building in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), and a series of cultural and community experiences taking place throughout November until 2 December.<\/p>\n
