Accommodation is a 3 bed room villa with family room (over-sized landing) small garden and roof terrace. I have heard the traffic is bad and as its nearly Jebel Ali the distance is a long way from the Airport. The site is having a gym/pool/shops built which look near completion, but unclear if these are provided or if you have to pay to use.

This is the only villa option available as this is offered as secondary allocation of villas (accommodation higher than normal entitlement by grade).

Any opinions appreciated.

Many thanks

Accommodation is fine. Getting in and out will be a problem for 6 more months until they complete the SMBZR/D57 roundabout replacement.
20 minutes to DWC.
The DXB drive is OK off-peak unless there's an accident.
There's a lot of accidents. But that applies everywhere.

Ibn Battuta is a good mall and you're near the Church in Jebal Ali.
What more does an English man need?!

Go along and have a look on a Friday morning if you can.
