Dubai’s going all in on green living, and the latest move is a big one. Work has officially kicked off on a new 10-hectare nature reserve in Expo Valley, a space that’s set to be home to over 1,000 trees. Once complete, this leafy sanctuary will be part of the larger Expo City Dubai plan, adding a whole new layer of life to the area.

Expo Valley will feature a mix of native and adaptive species selected for their resilience in the UAE climate. Ghaf and acacia trees will join other hardy varieties to form shaded walkways and leafy courtyards. The team at Proscape, the landscaping contractor overseeing the reserve, will grow every sapling in an on‑site nursery before planting it in carefully designed clusters.Every tree planted here is being given the right care from day one, making sure the landscape doesn’t just grow — it thrives for years to come.
Homes That Grow With the Land
At Expo Valley, it’s not just about building homes, it’s about creating a lifestyle that flows with nature. The villas and townhouses sit along the land’s natural slope, so nothing feels forced or out of place. Each home is designed to feel tucked away, with enough space and greenery around it to give residents a real sense of privacy and peace. From your windows or garden, all you’ll see is open sky and lush views — no concrete clutter, no crowded blocks. Just a neighbourhood that feels like it truly belongs to the land. Step out onto your terrace and you’ll hear birds instead of horns, with sunlight filtering through the trees rather than bouncing off glass towers.
This isn’t about escaping the city, it’s about living differently within it. Expo Valley is creating a calm, rooted way of life, where the rhythm of nature sits right alongside the pulse of Dubai.
Water Features and Walking Trails
Proscape’s scope of work goes beyond planting. The contractor will handle precise land grading to shape gentle hills and level lawns. A specialist team will build a central lake complete with walking paths and seating areas for families and friends to gather. Advanced irrigation systems will recycle water and deliver it directly to tree roots, cutting down on waste. Robust infrastructure will include discreet lighting along trails and weather‑proof benches under shaded canopies.
A New Community Hub
Expect the reserve as more than a green space. He sees it as a social centre where people can meet for picnics, yoga classes or evening strolls. They want Expo Valley to feel like a neighbourhood park in a European city but with the warmth and hospitality that define the region.
