Emirates Hills (Arabic: تلال الإمارات) is a gated community located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is located adjacent to the Montgomery Golf Course. While the developer, Emaar Properties, pioneered the idea of freehold property in Dubai, this is Emaar's only project where land was sold per square foot to individuals to build the house of their choice. Over time, once all the plots were sold, Emirates Hills soon became the most exclusive neighbourhood in Dubai, eclipsing Jumeirah, where some of Dubai's wealthiest have decided to make their homes. Some of the residents included the late Benazir Bhutto (although her family still lives there),[1][2][3] the manager of Géant Middle East (Mohammad Shaikh), and the owners of the Middle East Broadcasting Center and Habib Bank.[4] While the project was classified as freehold, and open to anyone to purchase, the majority of owners hail from the Indian subcontinent, Iran and Western Europe. The name derived from a play from one of America's richest areas, Beverly Hills.[citation needed]
