City Walk is a contemporary urban district in Dubai, developed by Meraas, that has quickly become one of the city’s most dynamic destinations. Spanning over 900,000 square meters, it is thoughtfully designed to integrate residential, commercial, and leisure spaces within a single, walkable environment. The area combines modern mid-rise architecture with wide, tree-lined boulevards, creating a vibrant streetscape that encourages exploration on foot. City Walk’s layout prioritises pedestrians, with open spaces, shaded pathways, and public art installations enhancing the overall experience for visitors and residents alike. One of the key attractions in City Walk is The Green Planet, an indoor bio-dome that brings a tropical rainforest ecosystem to the heart of Dubai. This immersive environment allows visitors to experience exotic wildlife, tropical plants, and interactive educational exhibits, making it a popular destination for families. Nearby, the Coca-Cola Arena hosts a wide range of concerts, sporting events, and entertainment shows, attracting audiences from across the UAE. Roxy Cinemas adds to the leisure offerings, providing a boutique movie experience with stylish interiors and premium services. City Walk is also home to Canadian University Dubai, which adds an educational dimension to the community and attracts students from around the world. The district boasts a mix of high-end retail stores, international fashion brands, and gourmet dining options, from casual cafés to fine dining restaurants. Seasonal events, pop-up markets, and cultural festivals frequently take place in the area, making it a lively hub of activity year-round. With its combination of lifestyle, entertainment, education, and retail, City Walk offers more than just a place to live, it is a destination that seamlessly blends urban living with leisure and culture.
