- Frequently Asked Questions
The building
It is a five-storey residential building on Meydan Avenue in Nad Al Sheba 1, with 140 units across one- and two-bedroom apartments. Azizi Developments built it, and work finished in October 2023.
The two basement levels are used for parking.
Construction began some years before handover, and the developer announced the building fully sold before it finished.
The district around it
Meydan was launched in 2010 under Meydan Group, and the racecourse came first, with the community growing around it. Sub-communities include Meydan Avenue, Millennium Estates, the Emirates Airline Housing Society townhouses, Horizons, District One and Meydan One.
Meydan One was designed for 83,000 residents, with a planned hotel, a civic plaza and a marina.
Meydan is freehold and lies within a free zone, with some areas still under development.
Getting here from Dubai International
The drive from Dubai International is 19.6 kilometres, around 21 minutes when the road is clear.
Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Ain Road (E66) are the main roads, and Meydan Road is the internal route. A new route from Al Khail to Meydan Street, finished in 2024, cut peak travel times. Traffic near the racecourse can be heavy on major event days.
Metro, buses and taxis
There is no metro in Meydan, and Business Bay station on the Red Line is the nearest, reached by car or taxi.
Buses 55 and 67 stop at Meydan Racecourse, and other routes serve the Nad Al Sheba area. Bus numbers change, so check them before you travel. A taxi is the sensible default.
The trade-offs of a quiet district are limited public transport and a car-dependent routine.
The first errand
The nearest supermarkets are a long walk: Choithrams and Spinneys are about twenty minutes away on foot. A pharmacy is closer, at about eighteen minutes. Across the wider Meydan area there are more names to know, among them Spinneys, Grand Fresh, West Zone Fresh and Choithrams Sobha Hartland, with smaller stores such as Al Reyhan Mini Mart, Q Mini Mart and City Line Grocery.
Nad Al Sheba Health Centre and the American Hospital Jumeirah Clinic serve the area, though Meydan itself has no hospital. Aster Pharmacy and Binsina Pharmacy One Park Avenue are among the pharmacies in the Meydan area.
Dinner
Nothing to eat sits within 500 metres, and only a few places within a kilometre.
Around the racecourse, The Track Restaurant, Shiba Restaurant and Chez Charles are close, with Farriers International Restaurant and Qube Sports Bar for a drink. Further across the Meydan area are Carna by Dario Cecchini, Little Istanbul, Alo Baghdad and La Vue Restaurant, and Caribou Coffee and Delphi Cafe for a morning cup.
A free afternoon
A park sits thirteen minutes away on foot. A green park lies in the Emirates Airline Housing Society area, and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is on the northern edge. Across the Meydan area, Central Park, Eden Park, Estates Park and Nad Al Sheba Park are mapped as parks, and the Azizi Playground and Basketball court is there for a game.
The Track Meydan Golf has floodlights for evening play.
District One has jogging and cycling tracks, and its lagoons are a major feature. The fitness centre at The Meydan Hotel and a tennis academy are in the district too. Nad Al Sheba Health Club & SPA, Nad Al Sheba Private Club and the Dubai Equestrian Centre round out the sports side of the Meydan area.
Racecourse days
Racecourse and stable tours are part of Meydan Racecourse. If horses are not your thing, it helps to know when the big meeting falls, because of the crowds.
A morning on Meydan Avenue
Meydan is quieter, with wide streets. An early riser can walk to the park before the heat builds, and a late sleeper gets a street with little traffic.
On a stay of a week or more, a proper table, a comfortable second bedroom and a kitchen that works matter, because a building with few shops nearby sends people back to their own kitchen. The nearest shop is a drive, so coffee, tea and bottled water are worth picking up on the way in.
Meydan as a calendar
The racecourse, the golf course and the lagoons give Meydan three kinds of weekend. A family wants the lagoons and the park. A sports fan wants the racecourse. A couple wants a calm evening and a table somewhere with a view.
Traffic near the racecourse increases on major event days, so a race night can add real time to a trip.
Public transport options are limited in the district. If you rely on trains you will notice, while a hire car means you will not. The quiet hours inside a building matter too, since a family with small children and a pair of colleagues on a late call want different things from the same corridor.
Shopping
The Dubai Mall and City Walk lie within reach of Meydan. Sobha Mall, still under construction, is a thirteen minute drive away.
A mall day is therefore a taxi ride.
Families and schools
Clarion School, Oaktree Primary School, Hartland International School and GEMS Jumeirah Primary School are all within reach of Meydan. Meydan has no schools of its own, and Safa British School is nearby too.
North London Collegiate School and Hartland International School are about twenty minutes away on foot, so the school run is a drive. For small children, Kinder Castle Nursery and Odyssey Nursery are in Meydan District One.
What the district feels like
If you stay in a Meydan apartment or villa you get a quieter, greener base with a racecourse, a golf course and lagoons close by, and you trade the metro for a short taxi to Business Bay. Masjid Khadija Al Kubra and Sobha Hartland Mosque are the mosques in the Meydan area.
Someone who wants nightlife at the door will be happier elsewhere. One who wants wide streets and a calm evening will be pleased.
A week here
Imagine a Monday. You land at Dubai International and take a taxi to the building. On Tuesday you walk to the park, and on Wednesday you take a taxi to a golf lesson or a stroll round District One.
At the weekend you visit the racecourse or the Dubai Mall. The park and the racecourse each get their own day, and the week runs at an easy pace.
Before you buy here
The shape of an Azizi Gardens flat is a five-storey building, two basement parking levels, a quiet street and a car-dependent routine. It suits a buyer who wants calm and does not need shops at the door.
What the register shows
The register labels all of these as sales. Read the table as a snapshot of a handful of deals, not as a price list.
| Unit type | Sales | Dates | Price (AED) | Size (sq m) | AED per sq m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom | 1 | 28 Jul 2026 | 700,000 | 40.48 | 17,292 |
| Two-bedroom | 4 | 7 Jan 2026 to 22 Sep 2026 | 1,040,000 to 1,318,000 | 54.62 to 63.83 | 18,493 |
AED per sq m is the median where a row has more than one sale.
