About Dubai Festival City:
Dubai Festival City is being developed on 1,600 acres on the banks of Dubai's historic Creek. Comprising 15 distinct development zones, Dubai Festival City is a property development by the Al-Futtaim Group and is the Middle East's largest, privately-funded, mixed-use, real estate project.
It will comprise a unique mix of entertainment, dining, shopping, edutainment, sport and leisure facilities, automotive dealerships, hotels, a marina, residential and office components.
The first phase of construction is underway with The Al Badia Golf Resort, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by world-renowned golf course designer Robert Trent Jones II LLC, surrounded by Mediterranean style apartments and town homes, set to open in late 2004.
Its centreplace 1,800,000 square foot retail, dining and entertainment centre, set on a Creekside marina, is also under construction.
Foundation work will also soon start on the InterContinental Dubai Festival City, an iconic convention hotel situated on the north-west peninsula of the marina.
