More residential and villa-focused than Barsha 1, this area feels quieter and more spacious. Streets are wider, and homes tend to be larger and privately owned. It’s not a master-planned community but has a well-established, lived-in feel with decent access to schools and clinics.
An iconic, man-made island shaped like a palm tree, the Palm is known for its luxury lifestyle, waterfront views, and celebrity-level real estate. It blends high-end hotels, beach clubs, and private villas in a glamorous, resort-like setting. It’s stunning and unique, though traffic and access can be a downside.
