Around 100 slots in Jumeirah, Dubai Media City and Al Mustaqbal Street have been given a creative makeover based on the themes of diversity and tolerance.

It aims to transform the city into an open-air museum.

Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office is implementing the project in partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
