Dubai Studio City

It is also right across from the Arabian Ranches development and within driving distance of the Motor City community.

Dubai Studio City and Al Kifaf are two different locales where you can get an apartment for rent in Dubai. Dubai Studio City caters to the younger crowd and those who have friends as roommates. Al Kifaf, on the other hand, is a new development and is a very risky investment for new landlords, but seasoned landlords will have no problem navigating the challenges of a new development.
