1 Bedroom Apartment in Ashjar, Al Barari

There is a kind of quiet you get in Al Barari that you really do not find anywhere else in Dubai. This one bedroom apartment in Ashjar makes you feel it right away. I took a breath as I stepped inside and looked out through the floor to ceiling windows. There was a kind of dappled sunlight filtering through the trees and all you can hear is a soft bird sound every now and then or maybe water running somewhere nearby. It just feels easy somehow.

You can sense that someone really thought about how people actually live when they designed this apartment. The space opens up in a way that makes it feel much bigger than you expect. It is over 1900 square feet, which is a lot for a one bedroom in Dubai. No cramped corners or awkward passages. The living area just flows into the dining space and then you look to the kitchen and it looks right out of one of those coffee table books but this one actually feels like somewhere you would cook a real meal. The marble countertops keep things cool to the touch and the built in appliances by Miele look sleek without being flashy. You could imagine making coffee in your pyjamas in here or even trying something new on the weekend.

What stands out for me every time I walk into Ashjar is the walk in closet. I know it does not sound like much on paper but when you stand in there and see all that storage and space it just feels calm. It is nice not having everything squashed together or having to fight a tangle of hangers. You will actually want to use it instead of just close the door and forget about it. And the bathroom honestly feels like a little spa moment. Everything you touch feels solid and expensive but not cold at all. Even the way the light comes in while you are getting ready feels relaxed. It is hard to rush in the morning here, but in a good way.

Out on the balcony you get a real sense of why Al Barari is called the green heart of Dubai. Most homes in the city do not really give you a park view like this. You look out and you see gardens instead of just city buildings. Sometimes you will notice families walking or you will spot a kid on a bike after school. It almost forgets you are in Dubai. Plus there is always a spot of shade or a little breeze coming through so it does not get too hot even on the warmer days. You could spend hours out here with a book or just let your mind wander.

The whole Ashjar collection feels like a hidden spot for people who love nature but still want to run into the city when they need to. You are never far from anything. Coffee shops pop up nearby and if you ever need some city action the main roads are easy to reach. But honestly most people I show around here like to stay close. The community is just quiet but not empty. There is a feeling of everyone having their own space but still belonging to something. Some evenings you might even hear a soft splash from the stream below or laughter from somewhere further off in the gardens.

If you are someone who needs more than just a place to sleep and wants some breathing room then this apartment might just be it. The layout and the views make a real difference to how you feel every day. Sometimes you almost forget your phone here which is honestly rare in Dubai.

The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it. If you have questions or even just want to walk through and get a sense for yourself let me know any time.
