"It's a very peaceful and beautiful location, with so many flowers. It's a great way to relax," Ms Ivanovic said of the Miracle Garden.
Usually seen in the confines of a tennis court, Ms Wozniacki's sense of adventure took her to the outskirts of Dubai and the pristine sand dunes in the desert.
"I really enjoyed it, it was definitely fun and I nailed a couple of runs," she said.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
