City of Arabia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

City of Arabia is a US$20 billion[1] retail, residential, commercial and entertainment destination lying at the gateway to Dubailand, United Arab Emirates.[2]

With business and administrative offices, schools and clinics, supported by luxury apartments, shops, galleries, restaurants and unique attractions, City of Arabia will become a key destination and urban community within the new Dubai. The project will have a phased opening starting towards the end of 2013.

Its four key elements are Mall of Arabia, one of the world’s largest malls; IMG Theme Park; Wadi Walk, a water front community with stylish apartments, outdoor cafes and attractive retail outlets; and Elite Towers, a group of 34 impressive commercial and residential buildings.

A self-contained community designed to minimise the use of cars, City of Arabia will be served by its own monorail system which will transport residents and visitors to and from a designated Dubai Metro station and around the site.

With a total of 8,200 residential components, City of Arabia will, on completion, have 32,800 residents and a catchment area containing 1.87 million people.
