The change in neighbourhood names is effective immediately.
Heads up! Some of Dubai's neighbourhoods will now officially be going by new names.
According to the Dubai Land Department's website, 28 well-known areas in the emirate have been renamed, including key locations such as Sheikh Zayed Road which will officially be changed to the emirate's iconic landmark, the Burj Khalifa. However, the road name itself may remain unchanged.
