Full scorecardPalm Jumeirah
The Palm delivers exactly what it advertises: private beach, resort restaurants and sea views from most homes. The single access spine creates real traffic pressure, and you pay a large premium for the address.
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.
