Dubai's new real estate tokenised platform draws 6,000+ to waitlist
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has issued its first Property Token Ownership Certificate, a blockchain-based document that formalises fractional ownership of real estate in the emirate. This follows the quick sell-out of the first tokenised property on the Prypco Mint platform, completed within just one day of launch. The platform, licenced by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and created in partnership with the DLD, allows individuals to invest in real estate using tokenisation - a process that divides a property into smaller, affordable digital shares. These shares can be purchased by investors, opening the door to property ownership without needing to buy an entire unit. The initiative has already attracted 224 investors, with 70 per cent investing in Dubai's real estate market for the first time. Participants came from 44 nationalities, and the average investment per person was approximately AED 10,714. Interest in the platform continues to grow, with over 6,000 people currently on the waitlist. This project is part of the Real Estate Tokenisation Initiative, supported by the Central Bank of the UAE and the Dubai Future Foundation, and developed through Real Estate Sandbox. By making real estate more accessible, this initiative aims to expand the investor base, speed up transactions, and enhance transparency, aligning with long-term goals under the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. Looking ahead, the DLD is working to allow more real estate developers to list their projects on Prypco Mint — a move that could further reshape how people invest in property, both in the UAE and beyond.

Rainforest Camping Returns to The Green Planet Dubai This Summer
Rainforest sleepovers are back at The Green Planet Dubai from May 30th to November 1st, with guided tours, animal encounters, and overnight tents inside the tropical biodome. May 30, 2025 A tropical getaway in the UAE? Where else? The Green Planet, Dubai's lush indoor biodome, is bringing back its popular 'Camping in the Rainforest' experience this summer. From May 30th to November 1st, guests can spend the night surrounded by waterfalls, thick tropical greenery, and over 3,000 species of plants and animals — all inside the City Walk attraction. Running every Friday and Saturday night, the camp kicks off at 7:00 PM and wraps up by 8:00 AM the next morning. Guests can explore the rainforest by torchlight, with expert guides pointing out the nocturnal rhythms of the ecosystem — think fluttering bats, rustling leaves, and animals settling into their nighttime routines. The experience includes animal encounters, hands-on nature activities, and a torch-lit tour of the biodome. There's a buffet dinner, marshmallow roasting, and a nature documentary screening before campers head to their tents nestled among the trees. The morning wraps up with breakfast at The Green Planet Café and optional feeding sessions with some of the animals. The overnight camp is limited to 25 people per night, priced at AED 900 for two or AED 1,700 for four. Bookings are available through The Green Planet's official website. The camping experience is part of The Green Planet's broader educational programmes, designed to build awareness around biodiversity and environmental conservation by giving families a chance to connect with nature — without leaving the city. Regular daytime visits to The Green Planet will continue as usual throughout the summer.
