2 Bedroom Apartment in Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid City

Some places just slow you down before you even realize it. This two bedroom apartment in Alandalus at Jumeirah Golf Estates has a way of making you linger at the door a moment—there is all this light pouring in from the big windows and you just pause, thinking how open everything feels. When I visited, I honestly found myself just wandering from room to room, trying to take it all in.

You walk straight into an open plan living space that really does bring people together. The kitchen joins the dining and sitting area without any awkward corners. If you are someone who actually enjoys cooking for real, not just throwing something in the microwave, you will like it. There are enough cabinets, and the layout is simple—nothing complicated. You look out to glass that goes almost floor to ceiling, so it is always bright inside even on grey days. The balcony is out here too. I stood out there with a coffee, just watching some birds dip around the gardens below. I could imagine someone reading a book out there or starting the day with a call to family, fresh air all around.

Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms and I will say, the closets are the sort you might actually fill up, not the tiny ones some places try to call built-in. I noticed each bedroom feels private—something about the way they are spaced. It makes the apartment work for roommates or guests too, or if you have a little one in the second room. There is a laundry room, which you will appreciate if you have lived places that do not have one. There is also a guest bathroom, so you do not have to worry about visitors walking through bedrooms.

The whole Alandalus community looks a bit different to most places in Dubai. There is this old world charm with the arches, terracotta tiles, these almost storybook gardens that wind between the buildings. Walking around you see everything is kept well, people actually seem to spend time outside here. I kept passing neighbors out walking or even just standing with strollers under the trees. It is the kind of place where you would probably learn a few names before long.

Amenities matter and here you get a lot. The gym is there if you want to keep things simple close to home. The swimming pool actually feels inviting, not just plopped in for show, and sometimes you see kids trying to outswim each other on Friday afternoons. There is a steam room and an aerobics studio, so if you like a bit of wellness on your own time there is space for that too. For anyone into tennis, the courts are right there, and the club lounge is actually lively. You also have cafes and small shops tucked in, so your coffee fix or last minute groceries are never far.

And then there is golf. Honestly Jumeirah Golf Estates is the spot for fans. The Fire and Earth courses are both here. If you follow the big tournaments you might already know every November the DP World Tour Championship brings all the pros out to the Earth course. Even if you are not a player it is kind of fun to just walk along the greens sometimes, they really keep them in perfect shape.

The vibe at Alandalus is easy and you feel that pretty fast. Mohammed Bin Rashid City is not far, and access in and out is simple so work commutes or getting to friends does not take forever. The area is peaceful but never boring—sometimes kids are biking right up to the edge of the fairways in the evenings and parents are just sitting outside with a tea.

This apartment is freehold so you can actually own it outright. At a price point of 1050000 AED for the size, which is about 1374 square feet, it just feels like a solid place to really settle in or even use as a second home for the city's winter months. Some will see it as an investment, others as a chance to put down roots somewhere that feels real.

Honestly you can only get so much from reading. The only way to know if it actually fits is to come see it. If you want to ask anything or take a relaxed walk through, just reach out anytime.
