Al Habtoor City runs along Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, directly on the Dubai Water Canal. Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and The Dubai Mall are all about a 5-minute drive away, which is why this address feels so central. From the upper floors, Burj Khalifa views are part of the package. At ground level, the canal promenade gives the whole place a waterfront feel, even though it's not on the coast.
The community has four residential towers, Noura Tower, Amna, Meera, and the new Al Habtoor Tower. Noura and Amna stand at 75 floors, while Meera has 52 floors. Apartments come fully fitted, starting with one-bedroom layouts and going up to large multi-bedroom penthouses. The complex also includes Habtoor Palace, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, and the V Hotel, so residents have three hotels practically at their doorstep and shared access to dining, leisure, and pool facilities.
This is mainly a fit for working professionals and young professionals. Direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road helps, and Business Bay Metro station is about a 5-minute drive away. Families usually find it less practical because green space inside the complex is limited, though Safa Park is around a 7-minute drive. Couples and singles who want an urban setup with restaurants, gyms, and hotel amenities downstairs tend to get the most out of living here.
Prices of properties for sale in Al Habtoor City range from AED 1.6M to AED 36.5M, with a median of AED 2.7M. A total of 285 listings are available. 158 properties have been listed for sale in Al Habtoor City over the past 30 days. Across all listings, 86% are verified and 69% are listed by SuperAgents.

See all TransactionsAl Habtoor City Dubai sits on the western edge of Business Bay, along Sheikh Zayed Road and across the Dubai Water Canal from Al Safa. Downtown Dubai and DIFC are both about a 5-minute drive away, and the Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro station is roughly a five-minute ride. Inside the development, you'll find Amna, Noura Tower, Meera, and Al Habtoor Tower plus the Habtoor Palace and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City hotels. This complex features multiple amenities for the residents and visitors across the residential and hotel towers.
Across the Residence Collection, parking is sized for nearly 5,000 cars between the towers' basements and structures, a useful cushion in a district where street spots fill up fast during the day.
Between the three finished towers sits the development's own leisure deck, roughly 35,000 sq ft of infinity and social pools, sun loungers and landscaped gardens, plus a 24-hour gym and a sky garden with skyline views. A separate tennis academy on site runs four courts, including the UAE's first air-conditioned court, with an adjoining clubhouse.
La Perle by Dragone is performed several evenings a week in a purpose-built, 1,300-seat theater with an aqua stage, the first permanent Vegas-style water production staged anywhere in the region.
There are several options for grabbing coffee close to Al Habtoor City, Dubai. Lobby Lounge is one of the closest places, just a couple of minutes' walk away inside Habtoor Palace. Timeless is roughly the same distance and works better if you're meeting someone for evening drinks. On the podium, Charlie Beans and Fuze are both within a two-minute walk, so they're the obvious quick-stop choices. Poolside Cafe serves light bites by the pool deck, and Cremglasse is about a five-minute walk out for gelato.
The development sits along Sheikh Zayed Road between Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, so several well-regarded schools are within a practical drive. Around this part of the city, you'll find British, American, Indian, and IB curricula.
Horizons English School is one of the nearest options, about a 10-minute drive away in Al Wasl. It follows a UK curriculum and is a popular choice for families looking for primary schools around Business Bay, as it is among the institutes with an 'Outstanding' KHDA rating in Dubai.
Dubai British School Jumeirah follows the UK curriculum and is also reachable in about a 10-minute drive. The school covers the foundation stage through to secondary years.

Al Habtoor City Dubai runs along the Dubai Water Canal between Al Safa and Business Bay, with direct access to roads such as Al A'amal Street, Al Mustaqbal Street, and Dubai Water Canal 1 Street.
The nearest metro station is Business Bay on the Red Line, roughly a 20-minute walk or about a 5-minute drive from the community. Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station is the next option at about a five-minute drive, depending on traffic. Both connect directly to the wider Red Line network, so you can get to Deira, Dubai Marina, and Mall of the Emirates without changing lines.
Taxis usually queue at the hotel entrances, and ride-hailing services like Careem and Uber generally pick up curbside with minimal wait times.
Al Habtoor City Dubai connects directly to Al A'amal Street and Al Mustaqbal Street, and both feed into Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road within minutes. Al Mustaqbal Street gives you a route into central Business Bay, while Dubai Water Canal 1 Street and the Dubai Canal Cycling Track border the development to the north.
Parking is one of the easier parts of living here. Diamond Lease Valet Parking operates at the main entrance, and the Al Habtoor paid parking garage serves hotel guests and residents. Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City has its own dedicated parking structure. On the surrounding streets, multiple RTA paid zones (zones 343 and 346) mean visitors can usually find a metered spot within walking distance. A few bays are reserved for electric vehicles and taxis.
By car, Dubai Mall is roughly a ten-minute drive via Marasi Drive and Al Mustaqbal Street. Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa take about the same time. Jumeirah Beach and Sunset Beach are reachable in around 15 minutes, Dubai International Airport sits under 20 minutes away along Al Khail Road during off-peak hours, and Abu Dhabi is about an hour and fifteen minutes via Sheikh Zayed Road.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time around Business Bay and it’s one of those areas that looks exactly how you’d expect Dubai to look - sleek, central, and always a bit on the go. Location-wise, it’s hard to fault. You’re minutes from everything includes the likes of Downtown, DIFC, Sheikh Zayed Road, and almost next door to The Dubai Mall, which is obviously one of the biggest highlights of the city. Getting around is pretty seamless overall, and public transport is a big plus here: metros, buses, and cabs are all easily available, so you’re not fully reliant on a car. What’s interesting about Business Bay is that while it’s very work-driven, it’s also quite residential, so you get a mix of both. There are loads of cafés, gyms, and restaurants, and the canal side is genuinely a highlight, especially in the cooler months when it’s great for a walk or even cycling. That said, it can feel a little… transactional. A lot of people are there for work, so it doesn’t always have that strong “community” vibe. Traffic can also be a bit chaotic during peak hours, and depending on the building, quality really varies; some are great, others not so much. Overall, it works really well if you want convenience, connectivity, and that polished city feel, with the added bonus of actually being able to live there and not just work there.

Business Bay Peak hour traffic is really a challenge to get out of business bay, the metro is always crowded, for families and bachelors its ideal for being the middle of the city and burj views

Business Bay is Dubai’s thriving commercial and mixed-use hub, offering a dynamic environment for both work and lifestyle. Known for its modern skyline, it is home to numerous offices, corporate headquarters, and business centers, making it one of the city’s prime destinations for professionals and entrepreneurs. The community also features high-rise residential towers, stylish apartments, and waterfront promenades along the Dubai Canal, creating a live-work-play environment. Residents enjoy a variety of dining, retail, and leisure options, with easy access to Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and other key areas. Connectivity is excellent, with major roads and metro access ensuring smooth commuting. However, as a central business district, the area can experience traffic congestion during peak hours, and rental rates tend to be on the higher side. Overall, Business Bay is ideal for those seeking a modern, urban lifestyle in close proximity to Dubai’s commercial and entertainment core.

One of the most central and vibrant locations of Dubai - mix of commercial and residential buildings. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and hotels - giving an ideal city vibe plus very close proximity to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa! The Dubai Canal within the area is great for evening walks. The parking and traffic can get bit intense especially during peak hours. Getting around Business Bay is not always the easiest - buses are the ideal option for public transport rather than the metro as the buildings are spread out.

The high-rise development by Al Habtoor Group includes four towers with different layouts and price points, but they share a connected podium with hotel facilities, pools, and dining. Almost everything here is apartment-based, so the feel is more hotel-style than villa or low-rise residential.
Al Habtoor City's apartment stock is spread across 4 high-rise towers: Noura Tower, Amna, Meera, and Al Habtoor Tower. Sizes start at around 800–1,000 sq ft for one-bedroom apartments in Al Habtoor City, Dubai, and go beyond 10,000 sq ft for six-bedroom residences.
Noura Tower sits at a slightly lower entry point. Amna and Meera cover the mid-range configurations. Across all 3 towers, the layout you'll see traded most often is the two-bedroom apartment at approximately 1,350–1,511 sq ft.
Many units come fully fitted with built-in kitchens. Higher floors look out over the canal, Downtown, or Sheikh Zayed Road. Shared podium amenities include temperature-controlled pools, a fitness center, and direct access to the on-site Hilton and its dining outlets. Against the wider Business Bay market, Al Habtoor City sits firmly in the upper-mid to luxury tier.
Explore:
A limited number of penthouse-style units come up at the top of Amna and Al Habtoor Tower. Amna and Al Habtoor Tower both carry the development's largest layouts. These upper-floor homes usually have three to six bedrooms, maid's quarters, and wide views across the canal and downtown skyline. Stock is limited, so buyers will typically only see a handful of options at any given time.
Al Habtoor City suits working professionals and young professionals who want a central Business Bay address with hotel-style amenities close at hand. The community has its own cafés, a poolside lounge, and on-site dining at places like Lobby Lounge, Charlie Beans, and Prime 68, so a lot of daily conveniences are within walking distance.
Al Habtoor City draws steady rental demand because it's close to Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Sheikh Zayed Road, which appeals to the corporate tenant base in Business Bay. Sale prices currently range from about AED 1.65M to AED 54.45M depending on unit size and tower, with a median around AED 2.75M. Returns vary a lot by tower and unit type, so buyers should compare specific units and recent transactions before committing.
Al Habtoor City sits within Business Bay, which is a designated freehold area in Dubai. Property here can be owned outright by residents and overseas buyers without the need for a local partner or sponsor.
Al Habtoor City has four residential towers: Al Habtoor Tower, Noura Tower, Amna, and Meera.
Business Bay Metro station is the closest, stopping about 1.8 km from the community, which works out to about a 5-minute drive or roughly a 20-minute walk. Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station is the next option at around 3.1 km. Most residents rely on a car or ride-hailing for their daily commute.
Al Habtoor City feels more self-contained than most of Business Bay because of its integrated hotel and leisure facilities, including the Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City on-site. Typical Business Bay towers are standalone buildings that depend more on the wider neighbourhood for dining and services. Here, restaurants, lounges, and valet parking are clustered within the development itself.
Al Habtoor City has around 25 schools within 5 km, and the most common curriculum is UK-based. The nearest include Horizons English School, Dubai British School, and Harrow International School, all within a very short drive.
