Renting in Dubai Internet City
Average rent price/housing type: Dhs160,000 per year (one-bedroom apartment).
It's more common to visit Dubai Internet City than to be living in it, as most buildings are commercial rather than residential.
However, there are a few properties spread across the area and neighbouring areas including Dubai Media City.
The average one-bedroom apartment is currently rented for an annual average of Dhs160,000 according to the latest data from Property Finder.
However, there are some incredible towers currently in the works, including the Iconic and Damac Casa projects, but they'll set you back a dirham or two.
Where to eat in Dubai Internet City
Since this neck of the woods is surrounded by offices, it's no surprise that it's packed with tasty lunch spots.
For some classic Lebanese bites, swing by Ka'ak Al Manara, or if you're in the mood for a sit-down Italian special, you can't miss the burrata risotto at Marini.
If you've only got time to grab and go, pick up a superfood salad and a matcha latte at Joga before getting back to work.
Things to do in Dubai Internet City
With pretty Palm Jumeirah views from one side and sweeping city views from the other, for an impressive view visit Twenty Three Rooftop Bar.
If you're searching for other spots that offer up an energetic evening, nip in to garden on 8 for some live sports, or an elegant mixed drink at JATO Bar and Kitchen.
Or if you need somewhere to catch some rays, book in for a budget-friendly (and redeemable) pool day at Coco Lounge.
Yoga-lovers definitely need to give a class a go at Zen Yoga, or feel the burn at a barre class at Zoga (just around the corner).

Meanwhile, there are two Dubai Metro stations you can access from either end of the area, Al Fardan Exchange and Dubai Internet City. Both of these stations sit on the red line.

Pitti Uomo: Homme Plissé Issey Miyake embraces Italian spirit
Homme Plissé Issey Miyake presented its collection at the Italian menswear trade show Pitti Uomo, drawing inspiration from the country and its people. The menswear line from the eponymous Japanese designer used the opportunity, following its time at Paris Fashion Week, to embark on a new path, a spokesperson explained at the press conference on Wednesday before the show. 'Open Studio' is the new chapter for the label known for its pleated pieces. It was presented for the first time in Florence with an exhibition and catwalk show. Country and people Homme Plissé Issey Miyake exhibition showcased various objects and inspirations for SS26 Credits: Ole Spötter for FashionUnited For this, the design team left its Tokyo studio and travelled to Italy to capture the Italian lifestyle. The team studied the colours of various objects and surfaces in Italian cities; from a glass of red wine to an anchor to the wall of a house. Based on this, the designers created an extensive colour palette for the SS26 collection. Homme Plissé Issey Miyake SS26 Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight The local communities, as well as the journey itself, also became part of the inspiration. Homme Plissé Issey Miyake showcased an asymmetric 'painter's' waistcoat, which, with its many compartments and pockets, was perfect for the team's brushes and paints on the trip. In addition, various voluminous jackets were part of the collection, which could be transformed into the piece's transport bag with a few hand movements. Homme Plissé Issey Miyake SS26 Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight 'Open Studio' will remain part of the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake concept in the coming seasons and will be an opportunity for the design team to explore new places and find inspiration.

Your complete guide to Jumeirah Village Circle
Let's dive in to everything Jumeirah Village Circle, commonly known as JVC. A neighbourhood a little out of the city centre, JVC is a popular area for those looking for a more pocket-friendly property with lots to do nearby. With many new builds currently under construction, the place has everything you need from parks to pubs and all that lies in-between. If you like this: Your ultimate guide to every Dubai neighbourhood So if you're stopping by (or considering putting your roots down here), this is everything you need to know. Your ultimate guide to JVC Renting in JVC Average rent price/housing type: Dhs78,000 per year (one-bedroom apartment). Made up of both villas and apartments, JVC is a fab area if you're searching for more bang for your buck. Averaging at around Dhs78,000 per year for a one-bedroom apartment, you're less than a 20-minute drive from the likes of Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, so it won't take you too long to travel around. Villas can cost anywhere upwards of Dhs150,000 for a year's rent, but you're getting an impressive amount of space for the cost. According to the latest data from Property Finder, the cost of buying a one bedroom apartment is around Dhs1.7m. Where to eat in JVC There are plenty of places to eat in JVC, from gorgeous hotel restaurants to quick bites in Circle Mall. If Sunday has rolled around and you're urgently in need of a roast dinner, stick on some comfy clothes and sit down for a feast at McCafferty's. In the mood for spice? For something a little more exotic, head to Café Isan for a fresh curry and some incredible flavours. For a taste of a traditional British 'munchie box' check out the menu at the Fyre takeaway, or get your pastry fix at Risen instead. Things to do in JVC Credit: Goose Island Tap House There are some top spots to sweat in JVC, so if you're a fitness fanatic, check out FitRepublik nearby for a swim in its 50m Olympic sized pool, or get your trainers on and smash a 5km around Gadaf Park. If it's a bit of retail therapy you're after then a stroll around Circle Mall should do the trick. While you're there, let the little ones browse the toys at Play and Dream and of course, finish off with a flat white at Coffee Planet. For a guaranteed good night out, grab a pint and watch the game at Goose Island Tap House, or step out onto the dancefloor at Mansion for some late-night grooving. Transport in JVC Al Khail Road (Credit: RTA) If you're living in JVC (or visiting), you'll most likely need to travel by car or taxi. The neighbourhood is not attached to a Dubai Metro line, however, it backs onto both Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, making for easy connections to the rest of the city. If you're travelling in rush hour, be sure to allow for a little extra journey time. There is one bus route serving JVC, the J01, which loops around the area before heading the Mall of the Emirates bus station.
