Boudewijn Blatter
★★★★★5 months agoDubai Hills Estate is, especially where the apartments are, really nice. You have about five parks for kids, great big grass fields, lawns, and kids will have an amazing time here. They can jump, they have parks, they can bike, they can run, they can play football, there are picnics. It's a great place for families. Even a small shop, sunny, so especially wintertime is a great place. And a very good mix of people.
