It’s pretty certain that Dubai Festival City will be one of your primary options. The following are the 5best reasons why Dubai Festival City must be your next Dubai address.
1. It has some of the best flats in the UAE
Dubai Festival City, set against the scenic Dubai Creek, is home to some of the best properties in Dubai: Marsa Plaza, Al Badia Residences, and Al Badia Hillside.
● Marsa Plaza
Marsa Plaza, a famous Dubai landmark, is one of the best real estate properties in the city and one of the most centrally located residential developments in Dubai Festival City.
This modern residential high-rise development offers potential buyers and tenants a choice from among one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. Amenities include a gym, outdoor swimming pools, and fitness studios with regular classes. There’s also a local supermarket, hairdressers, and dry cleaners, as well as a popular restaurant. It is also close to Dubai Festival City Mall, and has one of the most magnificent Dubai skyline views of all flats in the UAE.
● Al Badia Residences
Al Badia Residences is a Mediterranean oasis of tranquillity and calm in the middle of the entertainment and leisure hub that is the Dubai Festival City. Set among verdant landscaped gardens, this low-rise development invites one to take a leisurely walk and breathe in the fresh air. This is ideally located for families who have school-age children because it is very close to two international schools and the Al Areesh Club. You can rent two-, three-bedroom apartments at Al Badia Residences.
● Al Badia Hillside
Al Badia Hillside captivates with its earthy, rich hues and textures that mix Mediterranean and traditional Arabian architectural influences. And every apartment has been uniquely crafted, so no two apartments are the same. The setting, landscaping, unique aesthetic, and spaciousness of the apartments make Al Badia Hillside the best place to live in Dubai with family. One-, two-, and three-bedroom units are available for sale.
2. It has a central location
Dubai Festival City is a residential, business, and entertainment centre. It is a destination, and people go there to work, shop, dine, and unwind. Now, imagine how very convenient it is if you live right in the middle of all that it has to offer. And it is close to everything else you want to be in Dubai. It is a mere two kilometres away from the Dubai International Airport; that’s less than 10 minutes away. It is also quite close to the beach. The Jumeirah Beach, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Marina are only 20 to a little over 30 minutes away.
The Dubai Festival City is also connected to everywhere else through an extensive network of buses and private taxis, as well as nearby train stations.
