Full scorecardJumeirah Golf Estates
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.
Al 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.
