A safer way to enjoy Dubai's biggest events

Bilingual website and app showing events across Dubai with venues, maps, nearby police stations and safety guidelines.

About the project

The Events Security Committee works under Dubai Police, bringing together public and private entities and event organizers to secure events across Dubai. Since 2008 it has secured thousands of events, from Dubai Marathon and the Dubai World Cup to New Year's Eve at Burj Khalifa. We designed and built its new website and mobile app in Arabic and English, giving visitors one place to find upcoming events and everything they need to attend them safely.

The goal

The committee wanted the public to have one trusted source for events in Dubai: when and where each event takes place, how to get there and what to know before going. The site also had to show the scale of the committee's work and the partners behind it.

The challenge

The site had to handle a busy calendar of exhibitions, concerts, sports and national celebrations, and make every event easy to find in seconds, in both languages. Safety information needed to read as clear and calm, not alarming. The design had to carry the authority of Dubai Police while still feeling welcoming to residents and tourists.

The scope

Website design and development
Mobile app design and development
Arabic and English
Events calendar with filters
Event pages with maps and parking
Safety guidelines and prohibited items
Media center

Inside the platform

The events calendar, event pages, safety guidelines and the mobile app.

The outcome

The platform brings Dubai's event calendar and safety information together in one place. Visitors can browse the major events in Dubai, from GITEX Global and Gulfood to Dubai Run and the Eid Al Etihad celebrations. They can see each venue on a map with the nearest police station and parking, and check the safety guidelines before they go, on the website or in the app.
