Apartments for rent in Al Satwa

Al Satwa is one of the oldest areas in Dubai and is often shortened to simply Satwa. It is located southwest of Bur Dubai, near Jumeirah 1 and right near Sheikh Zayed Road and the famous WTC Roundabout.

Satwa is a high density neighbourhood with low rise apartment buildings where the overwhelming majority of the population are expats mostly from South East Asia. 

Satwa is known for its many cheap eateries, discount and variety stores and for being a place that is always on the go. It’s also known for having affordable, cosy accommodation which appeals to singles, young professionals and small families. Flats for rent in satwa are commonly found in studio and 1 bedroom varieties with 2 bedroom flats available in shorter supply.

Satwa is not entirely pet friendly however there are great parks to visit with kids such as Satwa Park 3 and the very popular Al Khazzan Park near the City Walk side of Satwa. When it comes to icons of Satwa, the Ravi restaurant is a must visit and is always busy with tourists and locals alike. It’s been in operation for over 30 years and has a few sister outlets across Dubai however the Satwa branch is the headquarters.
