Ahmed M.

A comfortable place to live with much larger apartment layouts than you'll find in newer areas. Motor City is incredibly walkable with great local shops and cafes. The main drawbacks are the heavy traffic on Hessa Street during rush hour and occasional noise from the Autodrome, but it's a solid choice overall.

The building is very nice. I have not had any issues for the last five years I've lived here. I love Motors City, it is very green, it feels like you are not in Dubai and everything is within walking distance, the school for children, supermarkets, hospitals, a lot of restaurants, bars
