When you’re not in class or relaxing at your student accommodation, get out and explore the best of Dubai. Get up early to watch the sunrise over the spectacular flamingo lakes of Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, before meeting your friends for an alfresco lunch at one of Festival City’s canalside restaurants. Check out the superyachts moored in the Marina, then explore more than 1,200 shops at The Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world. In the evening, catch a ride out to nearby stadium The Sevens, whose vast arena hosts world-class concerts as well as international sports matches.
At Dubailand, choose from a range of segregated floorplans and use the complimentary shuttle bus to get to class. You’re a 15-minute drive from Dubai International Academic City, and a 25-minute drive from Knowledge Village. In between classes, hop on the shuttle bus to explore the rest of the city, or keep a car in the free parking. Discover amazing views from the top of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest structure; or head out to pristine Al Mamzar Beach for a welcome breath of fresh air.
When you feel like taking it easy, come home to your fully-furnished apartment through the secure entry. Keep the desert heat at bay by cranking up the air-con, then put your feet up on the living room sofa and turn on the TV. Use the free Wi-Fi to finish a paper at your bedroom desk, get online at the iMac stations, or brainstorm a group project in the communal study room. After work, keep fit with a session in the gym, then throw your clothes in the laundry and cool off with a shower in your private ensuite.It's a great location too. Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) is 15 minutes away and the Business Bay / Satwa and Knowledge Park only 30 minutes. There’s even a free shuttle service to get you there.
Later, take a dip in the sparkling pool, then spend the rest of the afternoon admiring the Dubai skyline from the rooftop terrace. In the evening, cook dinner in your brand new shared kitchen and eat together with your housemates in the dining area. If you’re too busy to whip up a meal yourself, grab a bite to eat from the café downstairs. With 24-hour CCTV, on-site security and a regular cleaning service covered by your all-inclusive rent, it’s easy to relax at Dubailand.
