Media City & Internet City
The business and technology quarter on Sheikh Zayed Road next to Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, where offices, a university campus and a Metro station share the same streets.
Mornings in Dubai Internet City belong to the offices. The district was founded in 1999 and opened in 2000, and by 2019 more than 1,600 companies had offices here, among them Google, Microsoft and Intel.
Next door, Dubai Knowledge Park hosts several university campuses, and Heriot-Watt University has run its Dubai campus there since 2005. The park sits beside Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, with Metro and tram access, so students and office workers share the same streets at lunchtime.
The Dubai Internet City station on the Red Line is the nearest Metro stop, and Sheikh Zayed Road carries the quarter’s traffic into the centre of Dubai.
Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence and Palm Jumeirah are the neighbours of the quarter, so the beach, the promenades and the Palm are a few minutes away, while the offices and the campus give the area its working rhythm alongside the homes.
For golf, the Emirates Golf Club opened in 1988 as the first grass golf course in the Middle East, and in 1989 it hosted the Dubai Desert Classic, one of the region’s first professional tournaments.
Our residences here are in The S Tower, which stands on Sheikh Zayed Road between Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Internet City, where the working day of the quarter and the leisure of the Palm are only minutes apart.
The S is a tower on Sheikh Zayed Road that Sobha Realty develops, and the same developer is building Sobha Hartland in Mohammed Bin Rashid City.
Each residence offered here is handled personally by your advisor, with private viewings by appointment.
