Recognizing the importance of nurturing future talent, the district will also house a dedicated performing arts academy, which will play a vital role in refining the skills of the next generation of artists ready to leave their mark on the UAE's exciting cultural scene.
This opulent development will also integrate a pedestrian-friendly space that remains open-air in the winter and transforms into a glass-covered, temperature-controlled area during the summer, ensuring year-round comfort. Lined with three-storey buildings, it will host leading global retailers, nightlife, entertainment options, and a broad selection of international culinary options, establishing itself as a unique destination on Dubai's map of outstanding sights.
A prime tourist attraction and high-end local hotspot, Azizi Venice is set to welcome over 30,000 visitors each day.

Moreover, the development will have a strong focus on children, with a wide range of amenities specifically for them, and numerous safe areas where they can roam and play freely. The site will boast several stunning lighting features on building façades and beyond, as well as musical and dancing water fountains that will add a festive night-time feel to the lagoon, the boulevard, and the opera. Further to this, Azizi Boulevard and the neighborhood as a whole will be extravagantly decorated in theme for each season, holiday, and festivity of the year, adding to its popularity as one of the most interesting points of interest in the UAE.

UAE now 'India's closest partner' in region, says envoy
India and the UAE are redefining their relationship, with the UAE emerging as one of India's most significant global partners—symbolising not only a hub of innovation and investment but also a deepening diplomatic and economic bond. That's according to Indian Ambassador to the UAE, Sanjay Sudhir who was speaking at the 'News9 Global Summit UAE' on Thursday. The event, themed 'India-UAE: Partnership for Prosperity and Progress,' was held at Taj Dubai, featuring policymakers, business leaders, tech executives, Bollywood stars, and influencers from the UAE and India. Sudhir said, 'This city, this country symbolises the energy of very different magnitude altogether. The UAE brings together people, the best minds, cutting-edge technology, and investment, and also provides a platform for ideas. But most importantly, India's relationship with the UAE is very special — and today, the UAE is perhaps India's closest partner in this part of the world," highlighting the growing strategic ties. The ambassador noted several recent milestones that underline this expanding partnership. 'Last year, we also witnessed the signing of the bilateral investment treaty which has further strengthened investor confidence on both sides. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from the UAE into India reached approximately $4.5 million last year.' Cumulatively, the UAE has invested nearly $22 billion in FDI into India — an impressive feat, given that the UAE is a relatively new entrant among India's major foreign investors. Sudhir also emphasised the importance of a local currency trade settlement mechanism that allows bilateral transactions to be conducted in Indian rupees, further asserting the growing economic independence and confidence in domestic currencies. 'This step is such an important step towards asserting the confidence we have in our own currency,' he said, referring to the agreement enabling rupee-based trade. Among other notable developments is the UAE's launch of its national payment card, Jaywan, last year — a move seen as a step toward strengthening digital and financial cooperation between the two countries. Bilateral trade between India and the UAE has already crossed the $100 billion mark, an increase of 17 per cent year-on-year, further reinforcing their position as key economic allies. Startup synergy Consul General of India in Dubai, Satish Sivan, echoed the ambassador's sentiments and shed further light on the economic momentum between the two countries. 'Today, India is the UAE's second-largest trading partner and largest export destination, while the UAE ranks as India's third-largest trading partner and second-largest export destination." 'He also emphasised the broader vision and strategic framework driving this partnership. 'It is about a shared vision for a dynamic, interconnected and innovation driven future. It is also a framework enabling investment, institutional partnerships and strategic cooperation across sectors. Indian MSMEs, for one, can benefit immensely through this wide network of CEPA agreements that UAE has concluded.' 'A stellar example of this vision is the Bharat Mart, a dedicated platform for Indian MSMEs being launched at Jebel Ali port by 2026 it will empower Indian enterprises to reach Gulf, Middle East and African Markets, leveraging the UAE's, especially Dubai's world class logistics infrastructure,' he said. Sivan also showcased the startup synergy, adding, 'India's dynamic startup ecosystem over 159,000 startups and nearly 120 unicorns is increasingly engaging with UAE platforms like DIFC Innovation Hub and events like expand North Star, paving the way for collaborative Innovation. Regulatory alignment under CEPA is opening UAE $50 billion healthcare market to Indian pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and delivering quality, affordable and innovative products.' UAE a vision in motion Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network, aptly described the UAE as 'a vision in motion,' highlighting how, since its founding in 1971, the country has been shaped by visionary leaders who turned bold ambitions into reality. At the News9 Global Summit UAE, Das also hosted two riveting sessions under the 'On Stage' edition of Dialogue — one with actor, producer, and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty, and the other with trendsetting TV and film producer Ektaa R. Kapoor. Another compelling voice at the summit was actor and UAE resident Vivek Oberoi. In a session titled 'The Second Act,' Oberoi spoke candidly about his journey from Bollywood stardom to becoming a bold entrepreneur and investor. He shared how passion, purpose, and perseverance helped him script a powerful second chapter in his life. Meanwhile, Barun Das reflected further on the UAE's remarkable trajectory. He said, 'I can only imagine the challenges and impediments they must have encountered at every step of executing their audacious feat. Yet the persistent, creative, thriving, progressing country…is the envy of the rest of the world. UAE is a nation that matters not just in the region but across the globe. It's world class, prosperous and safe cities become hubs of global business, innovation, investment and culture. 'I'm not just talking about Dubai's tallest building in the world — the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall — the world's largest shopping experience, or the beautiful Swami Narayan temple in Abu Dhabi that stands as a shining example of this nation's unquestioning love for anyone in the world. The UAE success lies in its unique DNA that it has created for itself,' adding that it is a powerful blend of resilience, opportunity, and forward-thinking that continues to set it apart.

UAE attracts $45.6 billion in FDI in 2024, ranks in world's top 10
The UAE ranked among the world's top 10 destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2024, as inflows surged by nearly 49 per cent to reach $45.6 billion (Dh167.6 billion), up from $30.68 billion the previous year, according to a United Nations report. The World Investment Report 2025, released on Thursday by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), revealed that the UAE climbed from 13th place in 2023 to 10th place in the latest global ranking. The UAE accounted for a dominant 55.6 per cent of total FDI inflows into the Middle East, which received $82.08 billion in 2024 – an increase from $78.39 billion the previous year. Other major recipients in the region included Saudi Arabia ($15.73 billion), Türkiye ($10.59 billion), and Oman ($8.68 billion). 'A strong rebound of flows in the UAE helped lift sub-regional figures, even as flows to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries declined,' the UN report stated. The UAE's outward FDI also saw moderate growth, rising by 4.8 per cent to reach $23.4 billion in 2024. Globally, FDI rose marginally by four per cent to $1.51 trillion, up from $1.45 trillion in the previous year. However, UNCTAD noted that this figure was inflated by volatile flows through conduit economies. When adjusted for these factors, global FDI declined by 11 per cent – marking the second consecutive year of decline. 'Productive FDI fell by 11 per cent in 2024, continuing a downward trend,' warned UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan. 'This is not just a downturn – it's a pattern.' Despite the overall decline, the United States remained the largest global recipient of FDI and led in both greenfield project announcements and international project finance (IPF) deals. Other top destinations included Brazil, Egypt, the UAE, Mexico, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Greenfield investment activity was especially strong in India and the UAE, while IPF deals were concentrated in a few mature markets and large emerging economies, the report added.
