Dubai Hospitality Expansion: Major Hotel Development

Azizi Developments has launched a Dh75 billion hospitality investment program, starting with its first five-star hotel in Dubai's Azizi Riviera community within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. This marks the beginning of a significant expansion, aiming to add tens of thousands of rooms to Dubai's tourism sector. The project is the first of 151 hotels planned across various segments, including 100 four-star hotels, 50 five-star hotels, and a single seven-star property, with over 90% of the portfolio located in Dubai.

The completed developments are expected to contribute approximately 60,000 room keys to the emirate's hospitality inventory and create over 75,000 jobs. Several projects are already in progress, utilizing Azizi's in-house capabilities for development, construction, and project management. A prominent project includes a seven-star hotel within the Burj Azizi, a planned landmark tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, intended to be the world's second-tallest building.

Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, expressed confidence in Dubai's long-term economic growth, highlighting the emirate's investor-friendly environment. The investment aligns with Dubai's tourism ambitions, supporting its role as a global tourism hub. Azizi also emphasized the company's commitment to the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aiming to attract global visitors and reinforce Dubai's position as a leading city.

In addition to hotel development, Azizi plans to establish the Azizi Hospitality Academy. This academy will train hospitality professionals, providing internationally recognized programs to strengthen the UAE's hospitality workforce. The overall investment aims to introduce new hospitality experiences and support Dubai's long-term tourism expansion.
