3/4/24, 1:18 PM My Dubai Rent: Teacher pays Dh85,000 for two-bed apartment in 'real gem' district
Dubai Mall is a short drive away and so quick and easy to access to make it our local mall.

We are also very well connected to the Festival City area, with Damac Hills being on the E44 Al
Khail Road, and E66 Al Ain Road nearby which can connect us to the E311 motorway in minutes.

I also enjoy being close to health care for our family medical visits.

Is it a sociable neighbourhood?

My son has many friends in our building – they all meet up everyday on the first floor play area,
and attend each other's birthday parties from time to time.

I have met some great people in the communal areas and it’s been nice to connect as parents or
network for work.
How have you made the apartment your home?

We decorated the flat with a minimalist style due to the compact space.

We have our son’s toys and role-play items dotted around the living room, as we haven’t turned
the second bedroom into his room yet; we have been using it for family when they visit from the
UK and South Africa.

Feedback

The couple have decorated their home minimally due to the compact space. Chris Whiteoak / The National

We have hung some family picture frames and installed a mirror.

As we don’t own the property, we are saving up for our own home to really make how we would
like.
