Erth Dubai – Legacy in Your Words.

An initiative by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Erth Dubai is a cultural storytelling app created to preserve the rich heritage of Dubai through the voices of its people. Whether you're an individual, family, or institution, this app empowers you to document your journey and contribute to the evolving story of the Emirate.

What is Erth Dubai?

“Erth” means legacy—and this platform is built to honor the stories that define Dubai’s growth, spirit, and culture. With Erth Dubai, users can create and share personal or community-based stories through interviews, text entries, voice recordings, or a conversational AI mode.

Your stories move through thoughtful stages—from draft to publication—and once approved, they become part of a growing public archive accessible to readers and listeners around the world.

Erth Dubai is designed for everyone living in Dubai—from native Emiratis to long-term expatriates. Whether you're documenting your own legacy or capturing the stories of your community, the app welcomes all voices. UAE Pass can be used for secure login and registration. Additionally, there is a special access pathway for students, teachers, and educational institutions across the UAE, ensuring schools can easily participate in preserving and sharing their stories.

Once a story is published, the author will also receive a personalized Certificate of Acknowledgement from the Erth Dubai team—recognizing their contribution to preserving Dubai’s heritage.
