Green Community Dubai review

Green Community is small, old by Dubai standards, and unlike anywhere else in the city. Here is our independent assessment.

The short answerExcellent for shade, walkability and value. Held back by dated buildings and an industrial setting.

Green Community overall score

8.0/10

Green Community is the closest Dubai gets to a shaded European village. You can walk to a café under full tree cover, which almost nowhere else in the city allows. Buildings are dated and the surrounding area is industrial.
