About Dubai World Central

Dubai World Central, a massive, multi-phase development centred around the world’s largest international airport, today made urban planning history when the final master-plan and branding of the 140 square kilometre city.

The self-sustaining development, at Jebel Ali, some 40 kilometres south of Dubai city centre, includes Dubai World Central International Airport (JXB) – which when complete will be the world’s largest with a capacity equal to that currently of Chicago’s O’Hare and London’s Heathrow – and a cluster of specialised zones. Dubai World Central will be a new city where eventually some 750,000 people will live and work. The master plan, now refined, originally had a working title of Jebel Ali Airport City.

A product of the combined vision of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President, Department of Civil Aviation, Government of Dubai and Chairman of the Emirates Group, Dubai World Central is one of the most strategically important infrastructure developments yet launched by the vibrant emirate. It is designed to support Dubai’s aviation, tourism, commercial and logistics requirements until 2050 and infrastructure costs alone will run to US$33 billion.

Dubai World Central also creates one of the world’s first truly integrated multi-modal logistics platforms with all transportation modes, logistics and value-added services, such as product manufacturing and assembly in a single-bonded free zone environment made up of Dubai Logistics City, Dubai World Central International Airport and Jebel Ali Port.

Other Dubai World Central components include: Residential City, which will offer a combination of freehold and leased quality homes, the marketing of which will begin immediately after the Arabian Travel Market; Commercial City, which will feature hundreds of office tower blocks, a Golf Resort, Enterprise Park.

The entire Dubai World Central complex will be served throughout by the latest technology solutions for security, transport and customer service. An internal light rail network will link the whole of Dubai World Central which will also be served by the Dubai Light Rail Network (Dubai Metro).
