Altogether, Azizi Riviera will be home to 13,000 apartments, from studios up to two bedrooms.
The suburb will also feature its own retail district (so there’ll be plenty of shopping options on your doorstep) and two hotels – one five-star and one four-star.

Residents will get views of the canal, the Meydan Hotel and racecourse, and up to Dubai Creek, as well as the aforementioned 620-shop Meydan One Mall (which is due to open in 2020).
That’s not all either – the French-inspired community will include long pedestrian paths perfect for lazy strolls, water transport, yachting facilities, and a marina has also been proposed.
