The area
Living in Al Barari
Al Barari is the greenest place in Dubai, and it was built to be. A single family's development company planted it on the desert's edge beyond Nad Al Sheba as a low-density community of very large villas among botanical gardens, waterways and woodland, and kept it small: a handful of villa neighbourhoods, a few apartment buildings at the edge, a farm restaurant, a spa and a gym, and more greenery per home than anywhere else in the city. It is expensive, quiet and unlike anywhere around it. The name means "the wilds", open uncultivated country, which the developer chose for a community planted as a garden.
The place
The community lies on the inland side of Nad Al Sheba, off the Al Ain road, with Meydan and the racecourse a short drive on one side and the desert on the other. Inside it the villas sit on large plots along winding lanes, screened by planting, with streams and lakes threaded between them and a nursery of its own growing the plants that fill it. The farm restaurant at the centre, the spa and the gym are the community's shared life; the apartment buildings and the newer villa neighbourhoods sit at the edges.
What you get
Villas, mostly very large, in the community's original neighbourhoods, each on a plot with gardens front and back and the community's planting beyond; smaller villas in the newer neighbourhoods; and apartments in a small number of low and mid-rise buildings at the community's edge, larger and quieter than the city's norm. The finish is the developer's own and is high throughout. Many of the original villas have been extended and refitted by their owners, and the register records the difference.
Getting around
By car. The Al Ain road reaches Downtown and Business Bay in a short run outside the peak, which is the community's practical advantage over the desert suburbs further out, and the airport is reasonable; the Marina is a long way. There is no Metro and no bus of any use. Inside the community the lanes are quiet and shaded and residents walk them.
Day to day
The farm restaurant, the spa and the gym are the community's own, and its residents use them as a village uses its square. There is a small retail centre for the daily necessities; the larger shops are in Nad Al Sheba and Meydan, a short drive. A well-regarded school sits at the community's edge, with more in Meydan and Nad Al Sheba nearby, and nurseries operate in the community. The gardens and the waterways carry the weekends; the racecourse and the cycle park are minutes away.
Who it suits
Buyers who want a very large house in a garden, near the centre, without the crowds of the coast, and who will pay for the planting. Families who want quiet, space and a school within a short drive. Owners who intend to live in what they buy, which almost all here do.
