Interactive version: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/tools/commute-finder. Drive times are the figures published on each area guide; none is estimated. ## How it works **Where the times come from.** Each area guide on this site lists drive times to a few places nearby, from the sources named on that page. The finder ranks areas by those published times and nothing else. It never estimates a time where none is published, so an area missing from a ranking may still be close; there is simply no published figure for it. **How hubs match places.** Some hubs take times to more than one place. Downtown Dubai includes times to The Dubai Mall. The Media City hub uses times to Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers, its neighbours, because no times to Media City or Internet City themselves are published. Abu Dhabi city includes Downtown and central Abu Dhabi, and Yas Island includes Yas Mall, Yas Bay, Etihad Arena and Ferrari World. Every result names the place its time is for. **What a drive time means.** Published drive times are typical figures. They are a fair guide to which areas are near and which are far, not a promise for the morning peak, so drive the route at rush hour before you commit. **The homes listed.** Under each area are the developments published on this site that are not sold out, with the lowest published starting price. ## DIFC (matched places: DIFC) - [DIFC](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/difc) (Dubai): in the hub;

Choose DIFC or Downtown Dubai in the finder. On published figures, Business Bay, Dubai Design District and City Walk are among the closest, at about 5 to 12 minutes. ### Where should I live if I work in Dubai South or at Al Maktoum Airport? Communities on the Expo and Jebel Ali side of the city, such as Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Investments Park and Downtown Jebel Ali, have published drive times of about 15 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport. Choose Dubai South in the finder for the full list. ### Can I live in Dubai and work in Abu Dhabi? Many people do. Published drive times from the western edge of Dubai, such as Downtown Jebel Ali and Dubai Industrial City, to Abu Dhabi are about an hour. Choose Abu Dhabi city in the finder to compare. ### Why does an area show no published drive time? Its area guide has no published time to that hub's places. The finder does not estimate one, so the area is listed separately rather than ranked. It may still be close. --- Source page: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/tools/commute-finder.
