Drove through at rush hour - very central for reaching Marina, Media City or SZR quickly. Entry/exit points onto Sheikh Zayed Road get congested at peak hours though.
Stayed a few nights in Barsha Heights and it's a solid choice if you want to be in the middle of everything. It's right on Sheikh Zayed Road, walking distance to the metro (Dubai Internet City station), and easy to get anywhere in Dubai from there. Loved that there were tons of restaurants and cafes right downstairs, and it felt lively even at night.
Barsha Heights has become Dubai's new center for both residential and business community with direct metro station i.e Dubai Internet City. It has direct connectivity to Shaikh Zayed Road as well as easy access to other major communities like Greens, JVC & Motor city to name few. You can reach malls in Marina & Palm Jumeira to Mall of the Emirates in less than 10mins. Similarly quick accessibility to beaches of JBR & Jumeirah. Barsha Heights is well planned community for both residents and commercial.
Al Fahad Tower 2
Overall, we’re okay with Al Fahad 2. The main issue is that whenever one of the lifts breaks down, it usually takes around two weeks to repair. Considering it’s a 24-floor building with a high number of residents, this causes long waiting times for the lifts. We often end up queuing for a long time, especially since we come from Basement 2. By the time the lift reaches us, it’s usually already full because many people have boarded from the ground floor.

Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites & Apartments
It's a very practical place to live. The best part is definitely being right next to the metro station, which makes the daily commute straightforward. The apartments are reasonably comfortable and having hotel facilities downstairs is convenient. The lobby can get a bit crowded and the Barsha Heights traffic is heavy at times, but overall, it does the job nicely.
Al Shafar Tower
This building is worse management ever I have experienced 15 min que to catch the lift in morning same as afternoon and evening they should manage traffic by adjusting 2 lift for above 12 floor and other 2 lifts for upto 12th floor to control traffic. I believe this will taken as Good suggestions and one day they will understand our problem.
Euro Residence
I have been living here for some time now, and I must say that the level of service and amenities provided is outstanding. This is the only building in Dubai that actively promotes tenant happiness and offers such a wide range of services. The maintenance team is always on top of major maintenance and facilities management, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. The building also has an A/C team attending to issues for carefree summers. The cleaning team is dedicated to keeping communal areas and facilities clean and hygienic, which makes a big difference in the overall living experience. The car cleaning service is a convenient perk that I greatly appreciate as a busy resident. The admin team efficiently handles all administrative tasks, ensuring smooth operations and prompt responses to any inquiries. The 24-hour security provides a great sense of safety and peace of mind for all residents. The lifeguards, available from 5 am to midnight, ensure pool safety and make swimming a relaxing and safe activity. The availability of free scooters for residents' convenience is a fantastic addition, making transportation within the area easy and fun. Overall, the comprehensive range of services and the attentive staff make living here a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!
