Arno, The Views, Dubai
Arno is a 7-storey Emaar Properties building in The Views, with 177 homes. The Views is a group of building clusters between The Greens and Emirates Golf Club, mixing low, mid and high-rise apartments with Canal Villas, Golf Villas and townhouses. So Arno is one of the lower blocks in a district of mixed heights. It feels more like a neighbourhood than a tower. Our overview of managing a Dubai home explains the service behind these pages.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Inside the building
The homes run from studios to three-bedroom apartments, which gives a single traveller and a family room to choose their own size. A swimming pool serves residents and a gym sits inside the building, so you can swim before a day out and train when you return.
Children have a play area. Cafes or restaurants share the site, so a coffee needs no trip across the district.
Parking for residents comes with the building, and a reception desk serves residents. Security and CCTV cover the premises, and maintenance is provided at the building, which keeps a long stay simple for anyone who does not want to chase repairs.
When it was built
Arno was completed in 2006. Emirates Living is an Emaar master development that started in 1999 and includes The Greens and The Views among its communities, so the building belongs to one of the older planned districts in the city.
From the airport
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is 32.4 km from the building, about 31 minutes by road without traffic. A taxi from arrivals does it in one go. The run is long, so a late arrival works better here than a rushed one.
Metro and feeder bus
Dubai Internet City metro station is 1.23 km from the building, and RTA feeder bus F31 connects The Views and The Greens with Dubai Internet City Metro station, so a trip toward the Marina can start on rails.
The tram
The Palm Jumeirah tram stop is 1.71 km from the building, and the Dubai Tram runs 14.5 kilometres along Al Sufouh Road, from Dubai Marina towards Palm Jumeirah and Al Sufouh.
By water
The Marina Walk water bus stop is 2.47 km from the building, and Seven Seas Boats Rental is 3.45 km away. That gives you a way onto the water without a long drive.
The beach
The nearest beach is 2.07 km from the building, so a swim in the sea means a short ride.
Greens Park
Greens Park is 0.17 km from the building; the Views has swimming pools and parks, with barbecue areas too, and pathways there are lined with greenery, with gardens and lakes beside the play parks that families use.
Museum
Dubai Moving Image Museum is 1.01 km from the building, and Ibn Battuta Mall opened on 4 April 2005 and has six courts themed on countries the traveller visited, so a rainy afternoon has a cool answer.
The grocery run
Choitram's in Greens Village is 0.41 km from the building, which makes it the shop for water and milk on the first evening, and Marina Pharmacy is 0.42 km away. Organic Foods sells organic groceries near Emaar Business Park and has a cafe attached, and Carrefour Market has a store in Barsha Heights.
Doctors
Dubai Media City Clinic is 1.03 km from the building, and Saudi German Hospital is 1.43 km away. GMC Clinics Centre and Prime Medical Centre are clinics in Barsha Heights, with Hydro Medical Centre beside them, and Master Hands Physiotherapy operates inside The Greens.
Fitness
MMA is 0.72 km from the building, on top of the gym inside it. The Views has running tracks and tennis courts, with swimming pools too, and apartment buildings have their own gyms.
Schools
Regent International School is 0.45 km from the building, and KHDA rated Regent International Private School Very Good in the inspection years from 2018 to 2024. Gardenia Nursery is in Barsha Heights, next to The Greens.
Next door
Each Greens complex has shared pools, a gym and play areas, shared by the four low-rise buildings of that complex. The Views offers studios to three-bedroom apartments plus villas and townhouses, so a stay can be sized from a solo traveller to a family group.
Mall trips
Mall of the Emirates opened in 2005, is owned by Majid Al Futtaim, and houses Ski Dubai and VOX Cinemas, with a Carrefour hypermarket and a Dubai Metro link. Ski Dubai is an indoor ski resort and snow park that opened in November 2005.
Mosques
Hamel Al Ghaith Mosque is mapped in The Views and The Greens.
Fitness challenge
The Dubai Fitness Challenge runs until 29 November 2026 and asks people to be active for 30 minutes a day, which suits a stay near the jogging paths.
A day in the building
A slow day can stay inside the building. You can swim in the morning and train in the afternoon. A cafe on site covers the rest, and the play area keeps children busy. The day needs no planning at all.
Choosing a size
Four sizes share the 177 homes, from studio to three bedrooms. A studio suits one person on a short trip, while the larger homes suit friends or a family sharing the cost. The mix makes the building easy to match to a group.
For a couple
A couple gets a pool and a gym under one roof, with a cafe on site. That turns an evening in into something slower than a night out, and it needs no booking.
For a family
A family with children gets a play area and a pool in the same building, and the three-bedroom homes give a larger party room to spread out. The adults can supervise from a chair. A wet weekend passes without a long drive.
For a long stay
On a stay of several weeks, the small things carry weight. A gym downstairs keeps the routine steady, a reception desk handles deliveries and repairs go through the building's maintenance service. You settle in quickly and stop thinking about logistics.
A wet day
When the weather turns, the play area keeps children busy and the pool waits for the next dry hour. A cafe in the building keeps everyone fed. The day does not stall, and nobody needs to drive anywhere.
Mornings
Mornings run well in a low block with its own facilities. You can swim and train, then be out of the car park before the traffic builds. Parking for residents means the car is ready when you are.
Evenings
Security and CCTV cover the premises, and the reception desk gives arrivals a point of contact. A cafe or restaurant in the building means dinner can be a short walk. It is a building for settling in.
