The U.A.E. has been ranked 14th in the happiness index set by the Global Initiative of the United Nations. Our goal is to spread happiness among the population of United Arab Emirates and by 2021, Dubai would like to be one of the top ten happiest cities," he explained.

Most important services we provide are the provision of public parks, beaches and public facilities, waste management services and quality control of food distributed in the city.
"We want to continue this initiative through social media, involving residents of Dubai, and urge all residents to actively participate in this campaign as they have been doing with every campaign launched by the civic body. To join the initiative, participants can follow us on #HAPPYDUBAI or share DM's tweets on their page with their valuable comments and happiest moments related to our services," he added.
