A month-long Longevity Fitness Challenge records over 31 million steps and awards 31 grams of gold

Dubai , January 16 , 2026: Biongevity Clinic, Dubai’s first precision and longevity-focused clinic, has successfully concluded its month-long Longevity Fitness Challenge, reinforcing its mission to advance active living, long-term health optimisation, and community-driven wellness across the UAE.

Held from 1 to 31 December, the initiative brought together individuals, wellness communities, and fitness advocates in a shared commitment to movement and sustainable lifestyle change. The challenge achieved a collective total of 31,059,643 steps, equivalent to approximately 23,667 kilometres, reflecting strong engagement and widespread participation throughout the month.

Biongevity Clinic specialises in personalised, data-driven healthcare models that prioritise healthspan—the number of years lived in optimal health—rather than lifespan alone. Using advanced diagnostics such as genomic and microbiome testing, alongside AI-driven data analysis, the clinic focuses on preventive care, chronic disease risk reduction, hormone optimisation, and holistic wellness.

Throughout the challenge, participants were supported by the Biongevity App, which provides AI-powered health guidance and real-time support for everyday health queries. The platform allows users to track health markers such as heart rate and blood pressure, book medical consultations, and access an integrated e-commerce marketplace for evidence-based health products. This seamless blend of digital care, AI intelligence, and wellness commerce enabled participants to remain informed, engaged, and accountable to their goals.

The campaign also generated strong digital traction, with more than 10,000 app downloads, highlighting the growing demand for integrated, technology-enabled preventive healthcare solutions in the region.

Conceptualised and executed by Biongevity Clinic Dubai and Dr. Anmol Kapoor, the initiative was supported by ARK MeetUps Events and Organising and delivered in collaboration with several fitness and wellness communities. Partners included At The Park Fitness Community (Dubai), YogaBears UAE & Global, The Yoga Ashram, Eternal Wellness Centre, and other fitness and lifestyle collaborators.

Collaborative events promoted movement, mindfulness, and outdoor fitness, including wellness sessions at The Yoga Ashram and open-space workouts facilitated by At The Park Fitness Community. These partnerships played a pivotal role in expanding the campaign’s reach and positioning it as one of the most impactful community-driven wellness initiatives of the season.

A key highlight of the challenge was the 31-gram gold giveaway, symbolising the enduring value of consistency, discipline, and long-term investment in personal health—principles central to Biongevity Clinic’s longevity philosophy.

Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Anmol Kapoor, Founder of Biongevity Clinic, said:
“This campaign was designed to demonstrate that longevity begins with preventive action and personal accountability. The response exceeded expectations, not only in participation but in mindset. Participants embraced movement as a daily priority and showed how community-led initiatives can drive meaningful, long-term health behaviours.”

Fredy Martins, Founder of At The Park Fitness Community, added:
“What truly distinguished this campaign was the level of commitment shown by participants. It went beyond a fitness challenge—people supported one another and adopted healthier routines. Partnering with Biongevity Clinic on an initiative so closely aligned with community wellness and longevity has been deeply rewarding.”

As demand for precision and preventive healthcare continues to rise, Biongevity Clinic remains at the forefront of longevity medicine in Dubai and beyond, offering advanced diagnostics, AI-powered health intelligence, and evidence-based supplements through a personalised, data-driven model. With its Dubai presence and globally relevant approach, the clinic is setting new benchmarks for how modern healthcare and wellness are delivered.

Dubai , January 15 , 2026 : Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has signed an agreement with Emaar Properties to expand the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station, significantly increasing its passenger-handling capacity in response to sustained growth in ridership, particularly during peak periods such as New Year’s Eve, national and religious holidays, and major citywide events.

Under the expansion project, the station’s total area will increase from 6,700 square metres to 8,500 square metres, while passenger capacity will rise from 7,250 to 12,320 passengers per hour, representing a 65 percent increase. Upon completion, the station’s daily capacity is expected to reach up to 220,000 passengers.

The agreement was signed by His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, and His Excellency Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar and Noon and Chairman of Eagle Hills. The signing took place on the sidelines of the Dubai World Project Management Forum, in the presence of senior officials from both entities.

Strategic Infrastructure Investment

Commenting on the agreement, Al Tayer said the project reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to strengthen public–private partnerships in the development of world-class infrastructure.

“The expansion of Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station represents a strategic investment at the heart of Dubai’s urban core, where tourism and economic activity are most concentrated,” Al Tayer said. “The project underscores RTA’s commitment to proactive infrastructure capable of accommodating rapid population growth and increasing visitor numbers, while ensuring smooth mobility during peak periods and major occasions.”

He added that the station is one of the most important on the Dubai Metro network due to its proximity to Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Downtown Dubai, making it the preferred access point for residents and visitors, especially during large-scale events.

Enhanced Passenger Experience

The scope of the expansion includes the enlargement of concourse and platform areas, installation of additional escalators and lifts, separation of entry and exit gates to improve passenger flow, an increase in the number of fare gates, and the expansion of commercial spaces to support revenue generation. The project also includes enhanced pedestrian bridges, landscaping works, and integration with public transport services and other mobility options.

Al Tayer noted that increasing the station’s capacity will deliver a qualitative leap in metro services in the Downtown Dubai area, ensuring the highest standards of safety, comfort, and operational efficiency, while supporting expected ridership growth through to 2040. He added that the station has recorded a 7.5 percent increase in passenger numbers over the past five years.

Investment in Quality of Life

For his part, Mohamed Alabbar said the expansion aligns with Emaar’s vision of developing integrated urban destinations centred on people and accessibility.

“The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall district is not only a commercial and tourism hub, but the vibrant heart of a global city,” Alabbar said. “The expansion of the metro station represents a direct investment in quality of life and people’s happiness, reducing travel times and facilitating access to Dubai’s most prominent landmarks, particularly during peak periods such as New Year’s Eve and holiday seasons.”

He added that the partnership with the RTA exemplifies a successful public–private collaboration in supporting sustainable urban growth and enhancing Dubai’s readiness to accommodate rising numbers of visitors and tourists.

Growing Ridership

Since opening in early 2010, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station has recorded consistent growth in passenger numbers. Ridership increased from 6.13 million passengers in 2013 to 7.25 million in 2016, rising further to 7.88 million in 2019. Passenger volumes exceeded 10.2 million in 2023 and reached over 10.57 million in 2024, with nearly 11 million passengers recorded in the most recent year.

Design and Accessibility

The architectural design of the station will remain consistent with the shell-inspired design of Dubai Metro’s elevated stations on the Red and Green Lines. Interior layouts will prioritise safety, clarity, and efficient passenger movement, while minimising walking distances and maintaining visual connectivity across spaces.

At ground level, station entrances will integrate seamlessly with public transport services and emerging mobility options, including bicycles and electric scooters. The design also ensures full accessibility for people of determination, senior citizens, parents with prams, residents, and visitors, reinforcing Dubai’s commitment to inclusive and user-friendly public transport infrastructure.

Dubai, UAE | January 15, 2026:​ The UAE’s property market continues to emerge as a powerful wealth-creation engine for global investors who approach real estate as a strategic asset class rather than a standalone purchase, according to GPG Global Real Estate, led by its Founder and CEO Mr. Chirag Goyal, widely known in the industry as the Multiplier of Real Estate.

Industry data and recent market trends indicate that investors who entered the UAE real estate market with informed advisory support over the past few years have significantly multiplied their wealth. Following a property boom that began in late 2021, residential prices surged by 20 to 40 percent, turning many early buyers into high-net-worth individuals as property valuations crossed the million-dollar threshold.Demand for ultra-prime properties has also accelerated sharply, with sales of homes priced above US$10 million reaching record levels, positioning Dubai among the world’s leading luxury real estate markets. Investors are increasingly shifting from short-term, opportunistic buying to strategic, long-term investments, driven by lifestyle considerations, legacy planning, and capital preservation. Prime areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Business Bay continue to attract sustained interest.“With global financial markets facing volatility, UAE real estate remains one of the most reliable avenues for wealth multiplication,” industry experts note. As a tangible asset class, completed properties in the UAE typically deliver 7 to 10 percent annual rental yields, among the highest globally. A Dh1 million property can generate Dh60,000 to Dh70,000 annually in rental income, while strategically structured investments can potentially deliver 30 to 50 percent annual capital returns, offering accelerated wealth creation.Speaking on the investment philosophy behind such performance, Mr. Chirag Goyal said,
“People often ask how investors consistently achieve exceptional returns. The answer is never luck. Wealth multiplication is the result of disciplined research, scarcity-driven selection, structured buying, and responsible exits. The market may call me the Multiplier of Real Estate, but that title comes with responsibility, not pride.”Dubai’s real estate sector closed 2025 with record-breaking transactions valued at Dh682.5 billion, marking five consecutive years of growth. According to Goyal, this performance reflects informed investor behaviour rather than speculation. “This growth is driven by understanding timing, supply dynamics, and long-term value. Our role is to guide investors with precision,” he said.He highlighted scarcity-based investing as a core principle, focusing on micro-markets with limited future supply. One such example is a commercial investment in Dubai Maritime City, where GPG Global Real Estate acquired an entire ground-floor retail strip at Dh4,000 per square foot, approximately 20 percent below market value. Comparable assets are now trading at Dh5,000 per square foot, with further upside expected upon completion.Another case cited was Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, where the firm invested in full sea-view townhouses — an asset class representing only three percent of total inventory on the island. Acquired at around Dh6 million, valuations are projected to reach Dh12–15 million by 2028, driven by supply constraints and destination-led growth.Structured deals also play a crucial role in wealth multiplication. “Direct negotiation with developers, bulk acquisitions, and customised payment plans significantly reduce risk,” Goyal explained. He pointed to a recently secured 20–80 payment plan, where investors pay 20 percent upfront and 80 percent at handover after three years, allowing capital appreciation and rental income to cover future obligations.Several investor case studies underscore this approach. One investor seeking a modest 20 percent annual return achieved three consecutive exits within 18 months, each delivering approximately 30 percent gains, nearly doubling the original capital. Other investors, including industry professionals, have also entrusted GPG Global Real Estate with their personal portfolios.As Dubai enters 2026, experts caution that oversupply in select off-plan segments and tightening liquidity may challenge uninformed buyers. However, disciplined investors focusing on Grade-A developers, near-handover assets, and smaller, liquid units are expected to continue benefiting from market opportunities.Concluding, Goyal advised new investors to remain patient and informed.“Avoid fear-driven decisions, oversized assets, and developers without proven delivery records. Wealth multiplication happens when you buy right, not when you buy fast — and when you are guided by the right advisor.”

Spa-inspired bathrooms, serene bedrooms with ample natural light, and refined branded fittings throughout create a sophisticated yet practical living environment tailored for modern families.

From an investment standpoint, Casa Aura offers a structured 22-month post-booking payment plan, with instalments aligned to construction milestones and a final 40% payment upon completion.

With construction now underway, the project moves confidently into its next phase, reinforcing AGN Skyline Developers’ vision of creating enduring homes and building lasting legacies.
