Positives

It's really easy to navigate around for both work and leisure, and there are so many restaurants to choose from whenever you're hungry after Zona business meetings. Most spots have a lovely view to enjoy a nice dinner or grab a casual coffee, all while being close to the water. For anyone looking to strike a balance between work and leisure while soaking in the rich culture of Dubai, this is a great place to create a home.

Negatives

Although the views here are stunning, the traffic can really build up during peak hours, and that leads to some pollution, which may deter stiff minds. It can be slightly challenging to find a reasonably priced gym nearby, so if that’s an integral part of your daily routine, you may need to plan accordingly.

Positives

Living in Aykon City means everything is within easy reach, especially with the metro and public transport just steps away. The range of dining options makes it easy to try new places after a busy day. As someone who works from home sometimes, having really dependable internet here is a huge plus. Plus, it's close to some great shopping, which is always convenient.

Negatives

The area doesn't have many green spaces nearby to unwind in nature, which can be a downside balancing out the busy city vibe. It also tends to be quite lively and even noisy at times, especially with construction and traffic, which isn't always relaxing. If you’re used to a calmer nightlife, it doesn’t really offer much beyond the occasional restaurant or café.
