The Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum renamed the Al Minhad district and its surrounding areas as 'Hind City' on Sunday, the official news agency of Emirates, WAM reported.

The city is divided into four zones and contains homes for UAE residents.

"The city includes four zones--Hind 1, Hind 2, Hind 3, and Hind 4--and spans an area of 83.9km," WAM reported.

The city is connected by key roadways such as Emirates Road, Dubai-Al Ain Road, and Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road.

The Al Minhad region and its neighbouring territories have been renamed 'Hind City' in accordance with Dubai Ruler's directions.
