Dubai Hills Estate is a 2,700-acre freehold community by Emaar and Meraas, built around an 18-hole golf course and a large central park. It mixes villas, townhouses and apartments, with schools, a hospital and Dubai Hills Mall inside. It suits families who want a green, finished community between Downtown and Dubai Marina.
GEMS Wellington Academy, GEMS International School and GEMS New Millennium School are inside the community.
King’s College Hospital London, with 100 beds, is inside the community.
