Business Bay Area Guide
Business Bay is one of the premiere locations to live in Dubai with an abundance of well designed residential towers, office towers and hotels Located next to the iconic neighbourhood of Downtown Dubai and along the banks of the Dubai Water Canal the area is a sought after destination for professional singles, families and investors.
The fast paced and it’s convenient location close to the office towers in Downtown Dubai, DIFC on Sheikh Zayed Road make Business Bay a professional and commercial hub, ideal for commuters. Investors like the area since it is still under development and will feature as the main place for Expo 2020 visitors to stay during the exhibition later next year.
Part of Business Bay’s increased popularity and expansion is due to the opening of the Dubai Water Canal. The canal was further developed and extended into the Persian Gulf with five bridge crossings being added. The 3km canal has a boardwalk offering great views of Dubai’s skyline, a water taxi service with 9 stations and a range of exclusive hotels, restaurants and cafes along its banks.
Offering a cosmopolitan feel the area features low key eateries nestled in alongside high class dining outlets and hotels with spa facilities providing the perfect environment to entertain or unwind after a long day. Alternatively, Business Bay has it’s own farmers market at the weekends and regularly hosts music events.
The hotels in Business Bay are some of the best in Dubai along with Downtown and the Palm Jumeirah. JW Marriott Marquis hotel is the second tallest in the world and other hotels offer the finest dining and trendiest nightspots available.
Business Bay is well connected to Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and a direct route into Downtown Boulevard giving easy access to all parts of Dubai including Downtown, DIFC, Dubai International Airport and Dubai Marina.
