Dubai has introduced the ‘MyDubai Communities’ platform, a digital initiative designed to connect citizens, residents, and visitors with a wide range of activities across the city. Building on the success of the #MyDubai initiative launched in 2014, this platform aims to strengthen community ties and promote tolerance.
Accessible at mydubaicommunities.com and through social media handles @mydubaicommunities on Instagram and TikTok, the platform offers users the opportunity to explore local events and groups centered around culture, arts, sports, wellness, and other shared interests. In its initial phase, ‘MyDubai Communities’ provides access to approximately 100 interest-based groups, facilitating connections among individuals with similar passions.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, emphasized the importance of community bonds, stating, “The true measure of a city’s success is not limited to its architecture and infrastructure alone, but also its vibrant soul and the strength of its community bonds.”
The launch of this platform aligns with the UAE’s designation of 2025 as the Year of Community, a national initiative focused on fostering collaboration and a sense of belonging among residents. The user-friendly design of ‘MyDubai Communities’ allows for easy navigation, enabling users to join or create community groups effortlessly, thereby enhancing connections across Dubai’s diverse population.
