About Sukkan Dubai

Sukkan Dubai (سكان دبي — "Residents of Dubai") is a community-run platform for people who live in Dubai's master-planned neighbourhoods.

Independent. Sukkan Dubai is not affiliated with the Government of Dubai, the Roads & Transport Authority, the Dubai Land Department, or any property developer. We're residents writing for residents.

What you'll find here

News — what's happening across the city that affects how we live: transport, infrastructure, the property market, and lifestyle.
Area guides & documents — orientation packs for new residents, neighbourhood maps, and useful resources.
Gallery — photos from across Dubai's residential areas.
Newsletter — a digest, when there's enough news to warrant one.

Editorial principles

We write honestly, including the parts that aren't in marketing brochures.
We link sources. Where we don't know, we say so.
We don't take money from developers or estate agents for editorial coverage.
