By Sheena Amos

DUBAI 19 March 2019: Downtown Dubai is to be home to ‘Dubai Stars’ — a walk of fame tribute to stars and influencers from all over the world, along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.

Dubai Stars will be a new attraction as 98% of all tourists to the city already visit Downtown Dubai for its famed attractions including Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, The Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera.

Dubai Stars will pay tribute to eminent personalities who have positively influenced the world through their work in various fields including music, film, art, architecture, sports, and literature as well as social influencers.

How Will it be Done

Dubai Stars will kick off with a global online campaign asking people to nominate the first 400 stars who have made positive contribution to the world through their work in music, film, art, architecture, sports, and literature as well as social influencers.

The first phase 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.

Aim: 10,000 Stars

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

Dubai Stars by Emaar is billed to become one of the most-visited tourist attractions that will appeal to guests from around the world for the diversity of celebrities to be featured.
