The Dubai International Financial Centre is the city's most prestigious business district and one of its most interesting neighbourhoods to live in. The Gate Village arts and restaurant precinct is home to the city's best concentration of fine dining, galleries and cocktail bars. Residents are overwhelmingly financial and legal professionals, and the compact, walkable district has a distinctly different energy to the residential towers of the Marina, polished, purposeful and cosmopolitan.
