- Dubai South: The area that is now surrounding the airport of Al Maktoum is being regarded as a district with all the promised facilities for the future such as the surrounding Expo City ecosystem, the thematic urban developments, and so on.
The diverse locations chosen allow for a very balanced development strategy that is perfectly aligned with different demographic and investment profiles.
