About the area
About International City.
International City is a large residential community reached from Al Awir Road and Emirates Road, and its landmark is Dragon Mart, a vast trading and shopping centre.
Low-rise apartment buildings are grouped into clusters themed after different countries, with community retail spread between them. It is one of Dubai’s more affordable neighbourhoods. Newer projects now stand beside older blocks, so the age and quality of buildings vary from one street to the next.
Transport links are due to improve: RTA’s Blue Line will include three International City stations, among them an underground interchange at International City 1, with the line scheduled to open in 2029.
For schools, families head to neighbouring Dubai Silicon Oasis, home to GEMS Wellington Academy, or to Al Warqa and Mirdif. The community is freehold for international buyers, and newer apartments come from developers including Leos Development, Blanco Thornton and YIGO Development.
