Sports City

Dubai Sports City is a 460-hectare family-focused district in Dubailand, set right alongside Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). What sets it apart is its genuine sporting infrastructure — the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (25,000 seats, ICC events), The Els Club (an 18-hole golf course designed by Ernie Els), the ICC Academy (a cricket academy), and Hartland International Stadium. Rental yields here are exceptionally high (7–9%, with studios reaching 9%) at budget-friendly prices (~AED 1,173 per sqm) — making it one of the best buy-to-let locations in Dubai.
