Al Twar

Al Twar is an established residential district in the northeast of Dubai, next to Al Qusais and a short drive from Dubai International airport. It is a settled neighbourhood of villas and low rise apartment blocks with a long term resident population.

It divides into Al Twar 1, 2 and 3. The character is practical and quiet, with local shops, mosques and schools rather than malls and landscaping.

Who does Al Twar suit?

Families who want a villa or a large flat at a moderate rent within easy reach of the airport, Deira and Al Qusais, and anyone working on that side of the city or commuting to Sharjah. Aviation staff are a notable part of the local population for obvious reasons.

It suits people who want new build finishes, towers or a Downtown commute less well.

What is nearby?

• Al Twar Park and Al Qusais Pond Park for open space.
• Supermarkets, clinics and small retail throughout the district, with larger malls a short drive away.
• Schools and nurseries in and around Al Twar and Al Qusais. Confirm current places and inspection ratings directly.
• Green line metro at Al Qusais and Dubai Airport Free Zone within reach.
• Al Qusais, Al Nahda and Muhaisnah as neighbours.

What should you check before renting?

• Aircraft noise, which varies by street given the airport's proximity. Visit the property before deciding.
• Age and condition, particularly air conditioning and bathrooms on the older blocks and villas.
• Parking, whether it is allocated and included.
• Whether maintenance is included in a villa rental.
• Number of cheques the landlord wants, which is usually where the negotiation is.

Can you buy here?

Ownership options are limited in this district, so it functions mainly as a rental market. Buyers who want to be on this side of the city with freehold available usually compare Al Jaddaf, Dubai Festival City or International City.
