Dubai: A new club to promote the well-being and quality of life of seniors will soon open in Dubai.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council and Chairman of the Dubai Higher Committee for Development and Citizen Affairs, issued directives to establish a new Thukher Club for senior citizens in the Al area Khawaneej in Dubai. The club will serve as a community center to provide a wide range of facilities to seniors.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said: “The establishment of a new Thukher Club for senior citizens aligns with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to promote the well-being of older people and provide them with the best possible care and support. “It also closely aligns with the objectives of Dubai Social Agenda 33, which focuses on building happier and more cohesive families.”
Sheikh Hamdan added: “Dubai values and respects its senior citizens and is committed to ensuring their full integration and active participation in society. Our seniors have been instrumental in shaping Dubai’s remarkable success story and contributing to the nation’s development as one of the world’s greatest cities. Therefore, it is our duty to show them appreciation and provide them with the necessary support, care and empowerment so that they enjoy a high quality of life.”
Social and Cultural Center
The club, which will be built on a 20,000-square-foot area, will include a wellness center with personalized nutrition and fitness services. It will serve as a social and cultural hub with a library, theater and smart platforms to help seniors easily access government services. The center will also foster intergenerational connections through an interactive café.
The new Thukher Club building will feature three main sections designed to offer comprehensive services to seniors, focusing on promoting wellbeing, health and fitness, and fostering stronger community bonds.
