Dubai’s iconic skyline served as the canvas for an extraordinary tribute on January 4th, 2026, as DAMAC Group commemorated the 20th anniversary of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s accession as Ruler of Dubai. The renowned real estate developer orchestrated a citywide celebration honoring two decades of unprecedented urban transformation and visionary governance.
Hussain Sajwani, founder and chairman of DAMAC Group, expressed profound admiration for Sheikh Mohammed’s leadership legacy. “His Highness has established Dubai as a global paradigm of ambition, opportunity, and superior quality of life,” Sajwani stated. “Beyond the physical transformation of our skyline, his vision has fundamentally elevated human potential, fostered unprecedented opportunities, and positioned knowledge and innovation as cornerstones of national development.”
The anniversary festivities featured two meticulously choreographed drone displays that illuminated the evening sky at 6:45 PM and 9:30 PM. These aerial performances were strategically positioned at Jumeirah Beach Residence and other prominent locations across Dubai, creating a visual symphony visible throughout the city.
DAMAC further amplified the celebratory atmosphere by deploying commemorative banners across its most distinguished properties. This architectural tribute encompassed Safa One, DAMAC Tower by Paramount, DAMAC Lagoons, DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Heights, and the distinctive Cavalli Tower.
As a pioneering force in Dubai’s luxury real estate sector, DAMAC has evolved in parallel with the city’s remarkable growth trajectory. The company’s portfolio of residential, lifestyle, and mixed-use developments embodies the emirate’s global aspirations and ambitious spirit. These anniversary celebrations reinforce DAMAC’s ongoing dedication to supporting Dubai’s future vision—a future characterized by innovation, excellence, and groundbreaking concepts.
The drone tribute not only celebrated past achievements but also symbolized the continuing partnership between private enterprise and visionary leadership in shaping Dubai’s ongoing narrative of success and global significance.
