    DId a morning tour of this neighborhood with a guide and it was excellent. This neighborhood gives you a taste of what life was like before all he modern Dubai you see today. The abras available to cross Dubai creek are great as well. While in the neighborhood, ensure you go to one of the souks/local markets (spices, silver, gold, jewelry, etc…).

    This is a busy district in Dubai, between Sheikh Zayed Road and Jumeirah.

    There are lots of interesting shops and restaurants - all offering much lower prices than elsewhere in Dubai.

    A fun district.

    This is another upmarket district near La Mer. Beautiful architecture throughout, especially the houses. Stores and restaurants were busy, there was simply a great vibe about the place. We would have enjoyed more time here as with many other Dubai attractions. More stopovers needed.

    Perfect outdoor destination that offers an animals sanctuary and a modern plaza with great dining options and plenty of place for kids to run and play

    International City has been built by developers Nakheel to cater to the large number of expatriates in Dubai. The neighborhood has a large number of apartments, but facilities for leisure are rather less. There are no parks here. The area has Dragon Mart and Dragon Mart 2 malls at its entrance, of which the latter has a multiplex.

    International City used to have a not so good reputation earlier, but is not the way it is portrayed either. A large number of people live here and have businesses here. One can see a number of restaurants offering Chinese, Indian, Thai and Italian food here. It's not a tourist attraction, however.
