What it feels like
Jumeirah Golf Estates is deliberately sleepy. Fairways, lakes and generous plots dominate, and the clubhouse is the social centre. If you want street life, this is the wrong community; if you want silence and space, it is excellent.
A gated golf community off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, home to the DP World Tour Championship, with villas and low-rise apartments.
