With over thousands of grandiose residential and business spaces, luxury hotels and spa resorts, parks and recreation areas, mosques, international schools, top retail malls and restaurants, a 400-berth marina, and an 18-hole championship golf course, it is practically a world on its own. One will never run out of things to do here.
