Jumeirah Lake Towers

With beautiful lakes, running tracks and restaurants galore, it’s no wonder that JLT has come in second place.

Downtown Dubai

With a view like this, who could say no?! Breathtaking.

Bur Dubai

Close to the Dubai Creek, loads of historical landmarks and and a hotspot for great take-aways, street food (Ravi’s anyone?!) and souks, Bur Dubai is a cultural gem here in the city and is not to be ignored as a potential home when you’re planning on where to set up house.

Silicon Oasis

You can get a little bit more bang for your buck if you live out in Silicon Oasis. With both apartments and villa’s to choose from, you get a little bit more of a community vibe and a bit of rest and relaxation from the busy-ness of the inner city.

Business Bay

Another hot spot for night life and cuisine in Dubai. Here you work hard, play hard.

The Palm

It’s one of the worlds most breath-taking man-made structures.
