The emirate’s version of Walk of Fame will be known as Dubai Stars.

Emaar has announced ‘Dubai Stars’, a walk of fame saluting stars and influencers from all over the world.

The project will kick off with a global social media campaign asking people to nominate their favourite celebrities and influencers for the first 400 stars at Dubai Stars.

Phase One of Dubai Stars, set along the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai, will be unveiled in October at a mega event to be attended by the 400 featured celebrities who will launch their respective star.

Further underlining Downtown Dubai as the main tourist destination in Dubai, and Emaar as the provider of memorable, world-class lifestyle experiences, Dubai Stars will pay tribute to eminent personalities who have positively influenced the world through their work in music, film, art, architecture, sports, and literature as well as social influencers.

Dubai Stars, at its completion, will have over 10,000 stars, about four times the number of stars than the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, the managing director, said: “With Dubai Stars, we are highlighting our commitment to making Dubai the best city in the world, and to promoting arts, culture and sports by saluting the stars, whose contributions inspire the world.”

“Dubai Stars by Emaar is billed to become one of the most-visited tourist attractions that will appeal to guests globally for the diversity of celebrities featured,” he added.
