Considering Living in Old Town - any thoughts?
Hubby and I will be relocating to Dubai in a few months.
We'll have a month or so to find somewhere but am trying to whittle down areas to look at. Old Town looks like the type of place I've been after (apart from the price!) - nice apartments, mall within walking distance, quite close to airport (he'll be commuting weekly to Saudi) etc. Looks quite quiet - but I'd be within walking distance of 'Dubai' as opposed to a lovely villa looking out over more lovely villas which could be in Spain/Portugal etc. Or high rise with great views but I think I'd feel cut off from the world.
Anyone have experiences, good or bad? Also are there any local small shops/supermarkets - I know the Souk Al Bahar is close by but that looks like a Disney set, not for food shopping, and I don't want to go to the Mall for milk etc!
Does anyone have any knowledge of The Old Town Island, Zaafaran or Zanzabeel?
Any other areas anyone would suggest? I also have Dubai Marina, JBR, JLT, The Springs and The Views on my short list but keep coming back to Old Town.
Thanks.
