Dubai's Al Barsha - which means 'plenty' in Arabic - is living up to its name.
Residents and visitors, who are looking around for their next home, are spoilt for choice in the neighbourhood. From stand-alone or row-house villas to medium and high-rise buildings, Al Barsha's got it all.
Restaurants and eateries are also aplenty. You can go high-end at a certain caféteria one day, and try the hole-in-the-wall eatery around the corner the next day. Whatever food you crave - Italian, Thai, Chinese, Lebanese, Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Afghani and Nepalese - you are sure to find something that will satisfy your taste buds.
Hotels and hotel apartments of local and international brands have chosen to build their premises in Al Barsha.
Schools are scattered all over the district, and parents of children of determination can choose between the Rashid Centre for People of Determination and Al Noor Training Centre for Children with Special Needs.
And, of course, fun, leisure and shopping are always available on this side of the town - from a mall with the region's first indoor ski slope to bazaars and thrift shops.
Getting fit is made more convenient with several indoor gyms in the neighbourhood, while those who prefer the outdoors can always go to Al Barsha Pond Park, which is popular among residents because of its giant ponds that are surrounded by walking and running tracks. The park also hosts weekly basketball tournaments organised by local hoopsters.

2-Shopping haven
It is home to the region's first shopping mall with a ski resort. But for those who are after some good bargains, it's also easy to find bazaars and thrift shops around the area. Through the years, Al Barsha has become a lively neighbourhood where people from all over the world come together to shop, dine, stay and play.
3-A famous mosque
Inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in 2014, Al Salam Mosque is the most distinctive mosque in the district. It has multiple domes seemingly arranged in a pyramid. Its interior design and its Islamic collections reflect the spirit of Emirati tradition, mixed with Andalusian and Ottoman architectures.
