Dubai Festival City

Mixed-use development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

About

Dubai Festival City (DFC) (Arabic: دبي فستيفال سيتي), also known as Al Kheeran, is a large-scale mixed-use waterfront development on the eastern bank of Dubai Creek. Developed by Al-Futtaim Real Estate, the project spans 5.2 million square metres and functions as a self-contained "city-within-a-city."

It has residential and commercial properties, including Marsa Plaza, Al Badia Residences, Al Badia Hillside, Al Badia Living, the Dubai Festival City Mall with over 400 outlets, an IHG hotel complex with over 1,600 rooms, a marina, and a golf course. Other features include the IMAGINE light and water show, the BOUNCE-X Freestyle Terrain Park, Market Island, and a 3.3 km waterfront promenade. Located two kilometres from Dubai International Airport, it is one of the largest privately developed projects in the Middle East.
