Dubai deploys 2,800 workers to keep city clean, safe during Eid

Dubai Municipality has completed full operations for the Eid Al Adha holiday, ensuring that public places across the city remained safe, clean, and ready for visitors and residents. This included all tourist sites, parks, and entertainment areas.
A total of 2,800 staff members were mobilized, including engineers, supervisors, inspectors, and other specialized workers. Their main task was to maintain high levels of health, safety, and cleanliness during the busy holiday.
Out of the total workforce, 2,300 were cleaning engineers assigned to cover key areas around Dubai. The teams were supported by 752 vehicles and machines used for cleaning operations.
Another 250 supervisors and inspectors were on the ground to oversee the cleaning activities and respond to urgent needs. This ensured that areas with large crowds were continuously monitored and maintained.
In addition, 250 workers focused on public health, general safety, and food safety, especially in areas where people gathered for meals and celebrations. These teams made sure that hygiene standards were followed across food establishments and open spaces.
The efforts are part of Dubai Municipality's commitment to provide high-quality, integrated services for the public, especially during major holidays when many Filipinos and other expats take time off to relax or spend time with their families.

Watch: Jordan Crown Prince celebrates with team after historic World Cup qualification

There were unprecedented scenes at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in neighbouring Oman on Thursday, June 5. As Muslims prepared to celebrate the blessed occasion of Eid Al Adha, Jordan had more reasons to rejoice as they rewrote a slice of history. The Hashemite Kingdom qualified for the World Cup for the first time. Ali Olwan, the 25-year-old striker fired a hattrick as Jordan defeated hosts Oman 3-0. The victory moved them to 16 points. And their ticket to next year's showpiece in the United States, Canada and Mexico was confirmed after South Korea's 2-0 win against Iraq in Basra. The top two teams in each of the three Asian groups go straight to the World Cup, while those finishing third and fourth — the UAE and Qatar hold those slots in Group A — enter a fourth round of qualifiers. As Jordan celebrated this stellar achievement, no one was more happier than the team's "12th man", who has been the squad's pillar of support. Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein, an avid football lover, was in the stands to support the team. He later met the team following the match and the love, affection and respect was evident as the cheered the Crown Prince. Later, the Crown Prince cut a cake with the team onboard Royal Jordanian Airlines, the country's flagship carrier.

This is for every Jordanian who believed in the dream."
