Dubailand
Dubailand, one of Dubai’s most ambitious and expansive developments, covers a massive area and offers a unique blend of residential communities, entertainment options, and family-friendly amenities.
Dubailand covers an impressive 1,600 square kilometres, making it one of Dubai’s largest developments. Strategically situated between Sheikh Zayed Road and Emirates Road, it offers seamless connectivity to Dubai’s main attractions and neighbouring emirates. Envisioned as a city within a city, Dubailand features a wide range of residential communities, entertainment hubs, theme parks, and sports facilities, catering to diverse lifestyles and interests.
Dubailand is ideal for families and individuals seeking a mix of affordable living and luxury options. With ample amenities and tranquil settings, it’s perfect for families, but the limited public transport options mean having a car is highly recommended. Additionally, while the area provides access to reputable healthcare facilities like Mediclinic Parkview Hospital and Aster Clinic in Al Barsha South, some sub-communities may require longer travel times to reach these services. Residents should also consider the availability of retail and dining options; while Dubailand features shopping and dining hubs, certain communities might necessitate traveling to nearby areas like My City Centre Al Barsha for more variety.
Dubailand offers an array of exciting activities. Visit Falcon City of Wonders to explore replicas of global landmarks, play golf at championship courses like Jumeirah Golf Estates and The Els Club, or enjoy family time at parks and cycling tracks. Nearby attractions such as the Hamdan Sports Complex and Dubai Cycling Track provide additional leisure options.
Dubailand provides access to top educational institutions, making it a practical choice for families with children of all ages. Nearby schools include JESS (Jumeirah English Speaking School) in Arabian Ranches, offering the British curriculum, and GEMS World Academy, known for its International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. For younger children, options like Raffles Nursery and The Ranches Nursery provide quality early education.
