Your ultimate guide to Dubai Internet City
Renting in Dubai Internet City
Average rent price/housing type: Dhs160,000 per year (one-bedroom apartment).
It's more common to visit Dubai Internet City than to be living in it, as most buildings are commercial rather than residential.
However, there are a few properties spread across the area and neighbouring areas including Dubai Media City.
The average one-bedroom apartment is currently rented for an annual average of Dhs160,000 according to the latest data from Property Finder.
However, there are some incredible towers currently in the works, including the Iconic and Damac Casa projects, but they'll set you back a dirham or two.
Where to eat in Dubai Internet City
Since this neck of the woods is surrounded by offices, it's no surprise that it's packed with tasty lunch spots.
For some classic Lebanese bites, swing by Ka'ak Al Manara, or if you're in the mood for a sit-down Italian special, you can't miss the burrata risotto at Marini.
If you've only got time to grab and go, pick up a superfood salad and a matcha latte at Joga before getting back to work.
Things to do in Dubai Internet City
With pretty Palm Jumeirah views from one side and sweeping city views from the other, for an impressive view visit Twenty Three Rooftop Bar.
If you're searching for other spots that offer up an energetic evening, nip in to garden on 8 for some live sports, or an elegant mixed drink at JATO Bar and Kitchen.
Or if you need somewhere to catch some rays, book in for a budget-friendly (and redeemable) pool day at Coco Lounge.
Yoga-lovers definitely need to give a class a go at Zen Yoga, or feel the burn at a barre class at Zoga (just around the corner).
Transport in Dubai Internet City

Not only are you located next to Sheikh Zayed Road, but you can also easily access Jumeirah Beach Road and Dubai Marina.
There are a selection of buses running through the neighbourhood, including the 88 to Deira City Centre, the 84 to JBR and Dubai Marina and the 83 to Al Ghubaiba bus station.
Meanwhile, there are two Dubai Metro stations you can access from either end of the area, Al Fardan Exchange and Dubai Internet City. Both of these stations sit on the red line.

The pair first met in 2022, welcomed baby Aria in 2023 and tied the knot in a plush 2024 bash straight out of a fairy tale. But it's not all roses and romance, they're juggling marriage and parenthood from different countries. Karius now plays for German Bundesliga two side Schalke after leaving Newcastle while Diletta's continues her DAZN gig in Milan. But according to the goalkeeper his wife loves it and creates an atmoshphere where its right for them to feel the love even from a distance. He told Sport Bild: 'Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke. "She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far. "Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Karius however admits it's tough not seeing little Aria every day but FaceTime is saving the day. He added: 'But of course it's hard for me when I can't see my little daughter Aria for days. Glamorous sports presenter Diletta Leotta shocks in full see-through outfit as she leaves little to imagination "But that's what FaceTime is for and we see each other regularly - as often as possible." The 32-year-old goalkeeper also admitted he's open to a second child even though he's not planned anything yet. He added: "We would love to have a second child, we don't know when yet and nothing concrete is planned so far." The goalie also revealed that his missus is the real celeb in the family – especially in Milan. He added: 'She gets recognised more than me. She's a superstar over there.' But Karius wasn't quite ready for the full Italian family welcome. On meeting Diletta's clan in noisy Sicily, he fled the lunch table and locked himself in the bedroom for a lie-down. His wife Dilette revealed on a podcast: 'He was shattered by life, bless him. 'He said, Please stop, I need a break. "He went upstairs to his room locked himself in and threw himself on the bed destroyed by life." Since his Liverpool nightmare, Karius has done the rounds – Besiktas, Union Berlin, Newcastle and now Schalke in Germany's second tier, where he just signed a deal until 2027. 11 Diletta Leotta is one of DAZN top footie presenters Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 She was in the U.S working during the just ended Club World Cup Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Every now and then she'd drop a stunning photo on her Instagram page for her followers Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 The presenter first met Karious in 2022 and now they have a daughter Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Diletta admits Karius couldn't handle meeting her family for the first time Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 She's happy to stay in Milan while her husband stays in Gelsenkirchen playing for Schalke Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Italian television presenter and model, married to German professional footballer Loris Karius Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta
