I lived in Al Muraqqabat from May 2023 to November 2024.
Pros:
- Diversity in culture = food and retail convenience
- Many malls around
- Excellent public transportation and walkability (Metro and plenty of bus stops)
- Low cost of living
Cons:
- Parking nightmare if you own a car
- High noise levels from people and vehicles
- Super crowded, high density of people
- Aging public areas (sidewalks and alleys)
- Lack of greenery
