Respectfully, my reply was not even to you… it was to @realhousewivesgirl to give her some context as she seemed to be under the impression that JLT was ‘so far out of Dubai it’s embarrassing’. I’ve posted twice to share some insight from a local perspective and both times you’ve tried to discredit what I share. I’m sure you know Dubai very well from your own perspective but I’ve lived here 20 years and am married to a local and my children are local, so I feel my input is also valid. Clearly my post agreed with you that JLT is a bizarre place to have a club/restaurant/party but I was explaining to the other poster that geographically it isn’t far.You didn't understand what I was trying to say of my example of Anaheim. What I meant is not the distance, it's the address of where Canary Club is. You can't compare Beverly Hills to Anaheim. There is nothing glamorous about Anaheim was my point. I could have said North Hollywood. The point I was trying to make is that it's not a glamorous place to be as most upscale restaurants are all in the Center as to speak. I've been a dozen times to Dubai so I know where are the best restaurants are.
In regards to Al Barari, my friends told me also that it's considered the real suburbs. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but these 2 idiots make it seem like they live in Emirates Hills where the homes are real large houses/mansions and not a townhouse glued to others like theirs.
Yes Al Barari is further out compared to District One or Emirates Hills, but you can’t deny the original villas that launched the Barari project are some of the most exclusive and expensive real estate in the city and still sell for 20million AED upwards. Obviously I’m not referring to the apartments or the new entry-level townhouses being developed there. Most of the luxury gated communities start with properties targeting UHNW residents just as Barari did, and then they expand to more accessible accommodation (see also: Jumeirah Golf Estates villas, and now Jumeirah Luxury Living townhouses).
Anyway, I can confidently confirm they are an embarrassment and a laughing stock within the established community.
