Morning ladies,

We are considering moving to a bigger unit either apartment or townhouse with 2 bedrooms, and we are thinking of Al Ghadeer or Waterfront Jebel Ali.

As we are going to rent, Al Ghadeer belongs to Abu Dhabi and we should be dealing directly with the land lord and there in AD no boundaries by RERA, yet it is still under development and missing almost all initial facilities, but it is still a good promising place to continue living in!

on the other hand, Waterfront Jebel Ali is a part of Dubai and governed by the RERA index, but also still having the same isolation concept, we almost were the only care moving around the area.

Please i need feedback on either the two places, regarding the increase in annual rent in case anyone is used to live there for more than one year, how was the renewal went with you?

Also, we are planing that our little girl go to Choueifat school in DIP, is there a shared bus/car can be found goes into there areas or you only depend on your own cars?

thanks a lot in advance!

Hi folks, I am moving to Al Ghadeer next month. Could you please give me a heads up on how it's going to be for a former Sharjah resident moving to Al Ghadeer community? Is there a forum where the community residents stay in touch? Also, I would be grateful if you could tell me if there are any on-call drinking water delivery service - immediate delivery of water on a weekly basis (reasonably priced).

I would love to hear from anyone living at Ghadeer as to what it is like; do restaurants deliver, can you get cleaning companies, any groceries yet and how long it takes to get to Bin Batuta , Thanks a lot ! Dear Arch, Hope you are doing well. We recently shifted to Al Ghadeer in June 2015 and I absolutely love the place. Even we were a bit skeptical about the area as it looks very isolated but trust me it's not. The community is lovely and you have swimming pools, gyms, play areas etc within the community. Moreover, there's a grocery store inside Al Ghadeer which provides for your basic needs. A few restaurants deliver in Al Ghadeer as well. There is a laundry service n they have free delivery and pick up. Also their rates are pretty economical. Furthermore, there r 2-3 water companies (very cheap; AED 80 for 11 big bottles) n r a call away. Same is the case with gas cylinder for cooking.. When we need to get something late night (after 11 pm as the grocery gets closed ), there r petrol pumps 5 mins away which r open 24/7 with subway and southern fried chicken branches for dine in or take aways. Ibn e Batuta takes 20 minutes n Dubai is very much accessible. There is barely any traffic on SZR. Also they have part time cleaners for AED 25 /hr..really professional. Good luck deciding! Dear Sajjadkinza Please share the telephone numbers of the gas cylinder distributor & water distributor. Thanks for the useful information.

I moved from Dubai Marina to Al Ghadeer 1.5 years ago and don't regret it at all! Yes, it's further out than most places, but apart from that once you are here it's lovely! Houses are nice quality, about 10 pools in the community and 5 or so gyms - small grocery for everyday items, and now a costa for coffee and pastries! More shops are meant to be coming...but have no idea when, so you just need to plan things - it's easy. Bigger shops at Ibn Battuta or DIP/Greens Community and you're fine. Ibn Battuta & DIP are both approx 20 minutes drive away. The community is full of families which is really great and a lot of mother support in the area. There are some schools and nurseries that are doing buses to AG, but definitely not as much as more occupied areas. RERA is not in place, however I've heard AD will be introducing something similar. Jebel Ali Waterfront - my husband worked on and he would not recommend to live there. It's lower quality and only 10 minutes different to Al Ghadeer location. Thank you Poomba for the information you shared with us,i am so excited about Al Ghadeer , i hope things move on good and have chance to rent a nice apartment.

Hello Ladies My Husband will be relocated to UAE during this month ,and we are thinking about Al Ghadeer ,because it will be in-between Dubai and his work, now we are not sure i read some where that there is a lease office in the village ,or shall we look for propriety agents? we searched a lot on internet and we are interested in terraced apartments with 1BR. as we don't have children. Do this village have many sections? i found names like Waha ,khaleej ? what is the difference between the sections ? are the deference in services or just sections for villas or town homes etc? Thank you in advance :)

Sometimes distance is not important. You can live close to somewhere in Dubai but still take ages to get there because of traffic. And some people may choose an extra ten minutes in the car for a nicer home. Which is why I suggested doing test drives to see what it is like in the mornings and school pick up time. Al Ghadeer is 15 minutes from the end of Al Khail Road and there are lots of schools in that area. i know... i was one of the first people to live "over the bridge" in auh and it was much quicker to drive 30 odd kms than 5kms in town because of the lights/r/a etc etc

Al Ghadeer is really not that far out and is easily accessible from SMBZ Road. The developer which built it, A...R, has a much better build quality than Na....l of Dubai. Why don't you try the drive times and see which works better for you at drop off and pick up times. but its closer to dxb than auh!
