Common greenery and local plants in Dubai, the Middle East

First of all, I would like to add a little background to Dubai:

Dubai, also known as the Emirate of Dubai, is one of the 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates, namely Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.

Dubai has a subtropical climate with an average annual precipitation of 490 mm. Dubai only has two seasons of winter and summer, summer (April to October) temperature is as high as 45 ° C, basically no rainfall, but because of the proximity to the Persian Gulf air humidity is very large, the body feels a typical sauna day, outdoor walking is immediately a sweat, so most of the activities of Dubai people are in the mall. The minimum temperature in winter (November to March) is generally around 10 °C, which is also the season when rainfall is more concentrated.

Dubai's economy has now shed its dependence on oil, falling from a peak of 400,000 barrels per year to less than 70,000 barrels, with oil providing only 5% of gdp. At the same time, non-oil industries such as tourism, aviation hubs, and finance have accounted for 95% of Dubai's GDP, freeing themselves from the path of general dependence on oil development in Middle Eastern countries.

In addition to the many strangely shaped buildings in Dubai, there are also a variety of urban greenery plants introduced from all over the world, and many of my tree species that have lived in northern China for a long time are the first time to see it. Since we are introducing the green tree species in Dubai, let's first talk about their drip irrigation system.

The number of dubai city parks is still very large, especially in residential areas, basically each block (district) has 1 to 2 small parks, and the greenery next to the sidewalks is also doing a good job. So how does a country like Dubai, which is almost all desert, build its own urban park? It is said that each square meter of greening costs $1,000 a year, which relies on a lot of manpower investment, and a strong irrigation system can maintain the seemingly ordinary urban streetscape in the country. Take a look at their drip irrigation system:

It's really greening on the sand:
