4 Places to Fall in Love With If You’re Working Remotely in Dubai
Are you an executive digital nomad looking to relocate to a new glamorous city? Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Al Barsha, and Arabian Ranches are some of the perfect places in Dubai for those who want to immerse themselves in the luxurious, cosmopolitan lifestyle Dubai has to offer.
In this Pacific Prime Dubai article, we look at 4 areas in Dubai that are particularly suitable for high-level remote workers. Our sincere apologies if you are torn between two or more of them.
1. Dubai Marina
Dubai Marina and the neighboring Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) are among Dubai’s most popular residential and leisure precincts, with more than 200 residential towers, many of which provide breathtaking views of the marina itself, the Arabian Gulf, and Dubai’s coastline.
The area is the world’s largest artificial waterway, built by bringing in water from the Persian Gulf to create an entirely new waterfront.
Some of Dubai’s best hotels and shops are within walking distance of the beach and the dock, where an array of luxury yachts and leisure craft create an amazing ambience.
And for the gastronomes, the precinct is also home to a remarkably diverse selection of restaurants, bars, and cafes. Among the best-known destinations is Pier 7, which is home to seven of the city’s best restaurants, including the multiple-award-winning Asia Asia.
2. Downtown Dubai
If you seek excitement, downtown Dubai is the ideal place. It has the world’s tallest building—the Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest mall—the Dubai Mall, and a thriving cultural district headlined by Dubai Opera and countless other attractions—everything you could wish for in a city is here.
No food lovers will be left disappointed in downtown Dubai, as Time Out Market Dubai, which features 17 food concepts developed by some of the city’s finest restaurants and chefs, is conveniently located in the area.
For a bird’s-eye view of the city, a table at At.mosphere – the world’s tallest restaurant on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa—will offer you one of the best dining experiences.
The drawback of working remotely from downtown Dubai, however, is that rent and property prices are at the higher end of the spectrum. Traffic on evenings and weekends will also take some getting used to. However, for the energy and vibes, there is no place quite like downtown Dubai.
3. Al Barsha
Located in New Dubai to the south of the city, Al Barsha offers a more relaxed, suburban lifestyle that is particularly suitable for families with children. Nevertheless, the area can still provide a little something for everyone.
The Mall of the Emirates, sitting on Al Bashar Road, is one of the world’s largest malls and will easily satisfy the shop addicts with an agglomeration of top brands. Meanwhile, adventurers will likely enjoy themselves at the indoor ski hub located at the mall.
Prepare also to delight in native food from around the world, conveniently at hand across Al Bashar. On a beautiful evening, it is ideal to grab some favorite snacks and head to the tranquil Al Barsha Pond Park for a lakeside picnic.
During winter, you may head to the Dubai Miracle Garden, where acres of captivating floral displays and the world’s largest butterfly garden, where thousands of species dance in the air in climate-controlled domes, are featured.
4. Arabian Ranches
Hugely popular among expat families and people working remotely in Dubai, Arabian Ranches offers high-quality and spacious villas, a tranquil ambiance, beautiful parks and boulevards, and abundant leisure facilities.
Global Village, situated right in the precinct, is among Dubai’s most popular leisure destinations. It is designed to bring culture and traditions from all parts of the world together and exhibit them in one place, serving as a wonderful weekend activity for the entire family.
If you are a golf lover, an iconic desert-style golf course in Arabian Ranches offers a championship-level golf experience. For other types of sports, the Dubai Cricket Stadium, Dubai Equestrian Club, and the Al Qudra Cycle track are all situated nearby.
As expected, accommodations in this area can be costly. Moreover, a car is needed due to its remote location from the city center. However, if you favor the open space, sports amenities, excellent schools, healthcare facilities, and fantastic eateries, Arabian Ranches will win you over.
