01 / Why Downtown Dubai is different

The busiest few streets in Dubai

Downtown Dubai is built around Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall, which welcomed more than 111 million visitors in 2024 and has over 200 food and beverage options. Few places anywhere see that much footfall.

Most of those people are visitors deciding what to do in the moment, alongside residents of the Boulevard towers. Being visible on Google Maps and social at the right moment matters more here than almost anywhere else in the city.

How paid media works in Downtown Dubai

Downtown is perfect for location targeting around Dubai Mall and the Boulevard, with campaigns aimed at visitors in the area and timed around the fountain shows and evenings.
