Holiday homes in District One, MBR City

Lagoon-side calm with easy access to Downtown

District One is the quiet heart of Mohammed Bin Rashid City: a low-density, gated district with parks, cycling tracks and villa-lined streets, while remaining well connected to Downtown Dubai by car.

Our homes here are one-bedroom apartments in District One Residences, including selected layouts with private gardens and terraces. It is a calmer alternative to Dubai's tower districts.
