## Business Bay

Business Bay is the canal-side business district adjacent to Downtown. A mix of office towers and residences, it offers a compromise between centrality and more accessible entry tickets than Downtown.

## Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai is the city's flagship address: Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Fountain. A premium district where the brand premium durably supports prices and tourist appeal feeds short-term rentals.
