1. Dubai has seen an astonishing growth in population during the last ten years. The population has increased from 1,177,537 in 2004 to 2,257,161 in 2014! 2. Construction at Burj Khalifa began in 2004 and took more than 806,000 tons of concrete to built, this is equal to the weight of 115,228 full-grown African Elephants. 3. Over the past 10 years Madinat Jumeirah Resort has served 6,087,188 guests. That’s equivalent to serving the entire population of Denmark. 4. The Dubai Mall is one of the world’s largest malls. In 2013 alone, approximately 75 million people visited the popular shopping destination. That’s more than the number of visitors to Las Vegas and Venice every year combined. 5. There are 10 tons of gold present at any given time in the Dubai Gold Souk. Today, that’s a value of AED 1,468,550,000. With the same amount of money you can buy 1,560 2013 Lamborghini Gallardos or 4 four Airbus A320. 6. Madinat Jumeirah was the first hotel in UAE to implement the Bokashi compost programme recycling 1,000,000kg of food waste since the programme started in 2010. That’s enough to fill around 15,000 household bin bag or 4700 bath tubs. 7. At the top of the Burj Khalifa, visitors can enjoy temperatures nearly 15 degrees cooler than at the building’s base. 8. Over the past 10 years there have been more than 200,000 treatments at Talise Spa. That’s equivalent to carrying out 22 years worth of massage treatments. 9. Over the last 10 years, the capacity of Dubai International Airport increased to 75 million passengers per annum. That’s more than the entire population of Great Britain and Greece combined. 10. Over the past 10 years the turtle sanctuary at Madinat Jumeirah has helped more than 583 turtles find their way into the ocean. That is extremely impressive when you take into account that the Hawksbill turtle, native to the Middle East, has only an estimated 8,000 nesting females left worldwide. http://www.jumeirah.com/en/hotels-resorts/dubai/madinat-jumeirah/10yearsmadinat/
