International City: Living Cosmopolitan Neighborhood

A cosmopolitan community of over 75 nationalities, International City is a home to different architectural wonders to combine the architectural style of 10 different and famous cities of the world. Along with it provides 5 main thematic districts.

A Nakheel development, International city is divided to five districts: Residential District, Central District, Dragon Mart Complex, Lake District and Forbidden City. The five districts stretch over an 800-hectare plot, forming a network of living, working, shopping and leisure centers to truly create a micro-city within Dubai. While its diversity makes it a uniquely different destination, the harmony and the like-mindedness shared in this community turns International City into a great place to call home.
