Business Bay

Dubai's central business district, wrapped around the Dubai Water Canal and minutes from Downtown.

Business Bay sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai, built along both banks of the Dubai Water Canal. It pairs commercial towers with a dense residential population, which is what gives the district its round-the-clock character.

The area is defined by its connectivity. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road both border the district, and the canal promenade links residents to a continuous waterfront walk. Downtown Dubai, the Dubai Mall and DIFC are all a short drive away.
