What do I need to know before moving to Al Barsha?

"Al Barsha is a popular residential area in Dubai, UAE, known for its affordability and accessibility to major parts of the city. Before moving to Al Barsha, expats should know that the area is divided into Al Barsha 1, 2, and 3, with Al Barsha South further divided into four sub-communities. The area is home to a diverse mix of nationalities, creating a multicultural environment. Al Barsha is a family-friendly area, with several schools, nurseries, and parks available for families with children. The area is also home to the Mall of the Emirates, one of the largest shopping malls in the world, offering a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Public transportation is easily accessible in Al Barsha, with several metro stations and bus stops throughout the area. Renting in Al Barsha is generally more affordable compared to other areas in Dubai, with a range of housing options available from apartments to villas. Expats should be aware that the summer months in Al Barsha, like the rest of Dubai, can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Al Barsha is a relatively quiet area compared to the bustling city center, making it a good choice for those seeking a more relaxed lifestyle. Expats should also be aware of the UAE's strict laws and customs, including those related to dress code, alcohol consumption, and public behavior. Healthcare facilities are readily available in Al Barsha, with several hospitals and clinics in the area. Finally, while English is widely spoken in Al Barsha and the rest of Dubai, learning some basic Arabic phrases can be helpful," said a member in Al Barsha, the UAE.
