Area guide

Living in Zayed City

Zayed City is a growing mainland district near Zayed International Airport, planned as a set of master-planned communities rather than a single neighbourhood. It is quieter and greener than the city centre and more affordable than the islands in many cases.

It suits families and first-time buyers who want a home with space and are comfortable commuting by road.

Schools and everyday needs

Master-planned communities in the area are adding schools, nurseries, shops and clinics as they develop. Because the district spans several communities, services differ from one to the next, so check what is built and what is planned for the project you like.

Beaches, parks and leisure

Leisure here is community based: parks, cycling and walking routes and landscaped open space. Bloom Living, for example, is built around a large lake with walking and cycling trails. For the beach, residents drive to Abu Dhabi's islands.

Getting around

Zayed City has easy access to the city by road and is close to the airport, which helps frequent travellers. Downtown Abu Dhabi and Yas Island are reachable by car, with times that vary by traffic.
