Full scorecardAl Barari
Al Barari feels noticeably different from most Dubai residential areas. Mature landscaping, low-density villas and greenery create a much calmer environment than newer master developments. The trade-off is price and distance from Dubai's main business districts.
Tilal Al Ghaf
Tilal Al Ghaf feels like a resort that people happen to live in. The lagoon and beach areas are genuinely used, homes are new and well-specified, and walking paths are unusually good for Dubai. Everyday services are still thin, so you drive out for a lot.
