Dubai’s luxury lifestyle offerings and its cutting-edge technology are well known to most of us, but beyond its cosmopolitan glamour, Dubai is leading the way for sustainable living and eco-friendly developments, in line with its ‘Vision 2030’ programme.

If one was to ponder on what makes Dubai so great, greenery, and nature would not be the first things that spring to mind. But nature in Dubai is a sight beyond deserts and skyscrapers. The city has sprawling parks, and green communities surrounded by nature’s embrace, plus a splendid variety of trees – from frangipani, and orange-blossom to eucalyptus and native species – that cast a beautiful sight over its landscape and lush green spaces.

Green communities in Dubai are becoming a popular choice for those seeking a sustainable lifestyle close to natural surroundings, in eco-friendly living environments that focus on preserving natural resources.

Dubai gets greener by the day and has a green community to suit every lifestyle, featuring energy-efficient homes and modern designs that are complemented by lush green spaces, landscaped gardens, and shaded walkways with pretty canopies.

Some of the best examples of green communities and prime properties for eco-friendly living happen in Al Barari, Dubai Hills Estate, Jumeirah Golf Estates, and Emirates Hills, to name but a few.

The green heart of Dubai, Al Barari is the region’s first integrated luxury and active eco-conscious development, immersed in nature, endless greenery, cascading water, and botanical features.

Emirates Hills is filled with approximately 121,000 trees and plants planted across the community and uses an impressive 25% reduction in water consumption compared to other neighbourhoods, thus reducing its environmental footprint.

In Dubai Hills Estate, wherever you look, you will be greeted with the sound of chirping birds and the sight of verdant landscapes, tree-lined streets, and parks, with prime villas and residences overlooking the greenery. The community’s Central Park covers 900,000 sq. ft of space. Living in Jumeirah Golf Estates will place you at the centre of a sprawling development set across 1,119 hectares of landscaped grounds, with homes overlooking two championship golf courses and jogging tracks with water features and gardens.

Eco-friendly practices and Dubai’s special attention to maintaining green spaces have positioned the city at the top of investors’ lists for real estate sustainable developments.
