Dubai International City is a project in an incredible 800 hectare development which comprises of residential, retail, and commercial properties. It is master planned, conceived, and constructed by Nakheel (developers of the world famous Palm Islands and The World Project) and features architectural styles of Greece, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Persia, China, England, and France. Each of these communities is divided into Large and Medium sized neighborhoods and is home to more than 60,000 people.

A major component of the project is The Dragon Mart, a large trade mall that serves as a permanent exhibition area for more than 3,000 Chinese companies. The project is designed in such a way that most residents are a 4 or 5 minute walk to the surrounding amenities such as parks, gardens and central business district. In addition the International City contains retail outlets, restaurants, and future plans include schools, post offices, hospitals and other support services for this vibrant community. It is thought that this community will eventually be home to a large amount of commuters (approximately 250,000 per day) who presently travel from their homes in the Emirate of Sharjah each day to work in Dubai. This group and many who reside in older sections of Dubai will be attracted to the affordability, vibrancy and location of the International City. This will provide an attractive rental market for investors of the project.
