About DIFC Lifestyle:
DIFC Lifestyle, the latest addition to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), has been developed to shape the financial district as a people-friendly destination, not just for the professionals working there. Located at 'The Gate District' beyond the signature DIFC archway, it epitomises a unique integration of iconic buildings and contemporary living.

With over 175 nationalities working in a variety of sectors within the DIFC community, its diversity is reflected in the repertoire of activities offered by DIFC Lifestyle. Simultaneously, the exclusive and self-contained environment is fast emerging as a popular retail and cultural epicentre for the city of Dubai, drawing increasing footfall from outside the DIFC grounds.

Promising 360˚ living, DIFC Lifestyle offers avant-garde experiences to Dubai's residents and visitors alike. It captures a myriad of moods for high-end fashion, fine dining and rich culture through an eclectic mix of luxury boutiques, selective restaurants, museums, art gallery and a performing arts centre, which further add to the DIFC appeal as a resort destination. Temperature controlled walkways, set amidst meticulously manicured landscapes, create a sophisticated ambience for people that cherish a value-added life.

About DIFC:
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is an onshore hub for global finance. It bridges the time gap between the financial centres of Hong Kong and London and services a region with the largest untapped emerging market for financial services. Since November 2004, over 650 firms have registered at DIFC. They operate in an open environment complemented with world-class regulations and standards. DIFC offers its member institutions incentives such as 100% foreign ownership, zero tax on income and profits and no restrictions on foreign exchange. In addition, their business benefits from modern infrastructure, operational support and business continuity facilities of uncompromisingly high standards. In March 2008, the City of London's Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) ranked Dubai as the region's fastest growing financial hub.
