Local and international companies and brands now have the opportunity to have petrol stations in Dubai and the Northern Emirates named after them with the launch of Emarat’s ‘Project Landmark’.

Launched on Saturday, the marketing strategy by Emirates General Petroleum Corporation or Emarat will allow companies “to integrate their business models within the service stations.”


Naming rights is a form of advertising, where a company or brand “obtains the exclusive right to name a venue, building, or facility by paying royalty.” Dubai Metro is a fine example of this, whereby several stations have been named after local and international corporate entities, including Emirates, Onpassive, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, UAE Exchange, Danube and more.
