Al Barari district
Al Barari
25.076, 55.288 An exclusive, green residential area with villas, botanical gardens and a network of canals — one of the greenest in Dubai.
About the district
Al Barari is a premium residential area in the south of Dubai, known above all for its record level of greenery for the city. Spacious villas sit here among botanical gardens, artificial streams and canals, and a significant part of the territory is given over to green areas and water features.
The area's concept is built around life in nature: themed gardens, greenhouses and walking trails create the feeling of an oasis in the middle of the desert. Al Barari is aimed at affluent buyers seeking privacy, quiet and an eco-friendly environment.
Al Barari stands out even among other exclusive areas: greenery covers most of the territory here, and artificial streams and canals run between the villas. It is a gated, quiet enclave for those who value privacy and nature away from the noisy centre.
