Centrally located and nestled behind Business Bay in the Meydan area, MBR City is a gem. The community offers spacious luxury villas as well as high-end apartments, all designed around greenery and a crystal-blue lagoon. Extremely family & pet-friendly, it is just a short drive from major financial and business hubs such as Downtown Dubai and DIFC.
