Azizi Tulip, Al Furjan
Azizi Tulip is a 12-storey apartment building in Al Furjan, developed by Azizi Developments. It holds 97 homes, from one-bedroom to three-bedroom. That is small enough to know by sight and big enough to carry a proper set of facilities. The easiest way to see what that means is to follow a day through the building.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Morning: the gym and the quiet water
The day starts at the gym. You can train before the working day starts, then cool down with a swim in the main pool. The sauna is there for anyone who wants to finish the session warm. Nobody needs a car for any of it, and nobody needs a membership either.
The children get a pool of their own, and that changes the morning for a family. The little ones get shallow water, and the adults get the main pool without a game of tag in it. A play area and landscaped gardens sit close by, so a morning with a toddler needs no taxi and no plan.
Afternoon: a bedroom to retreat to
By the middle of the day the building is quiet. This is when the home size matters: a one-bedroom suits a solo traveller or a couple, a two-bedroom suits two couples or a family, and the three-bedroom suits a larger group that wants a bedroom each. With 97 homes in total, there is room for a few of each, but not a catalogue.
A weekend needs only the pool and the gym. A month needs the small things to work. Maintenance services are provided at the building, so a fault does not wait for a stranger to be found. A reception desk takes the deliveries, parking for residents is on site, and security with CCTV cover watches the entrance, which is the difference between a stay that runs by itself and one that asks for favours every other day.
Evening: steam, then dinner
The steam room and the sauna are an evening habit. After them, dinner is easy to find. The Garden Restaurant, Hyderabad Fusion, Exotic Shoreline, Thaifoon by Warinda and Arabian Grill are the restaurants named for Al Furjan. Karachi Inn is also mapped there. That is six dinners without repeating a kitchen.
Who should pick a neighbour instead
Azizi Tulip is a calm base. Calm has a cost. Al Furjan is quieter than Dubai Marina or JBR and lacks their party atmosphere, so a stay built around nightlife belongs elsewhere. Discovery Gardens borders the district along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and cycle routes link the two. Security and CCTV cover are provided at the building, which suits a quiet stay and slows a spontaneous one.
Within Al Furjan, other buildings answer other wishes. If you want a spa or a squash court, Candace Acacia has both. If you want a barbecue area and a cafe on the site, Maria Tower has both. Azizi Tulip fits you if you want a pool and a gym, plus a children's pool, and little else to manage. Al Furjan offers apartments, townhouses and villas, with swimming pools and gyms across the community.
Roads and the bus
Al Furjan lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road. The main roads slow at peak hours, and some parts of the community are still under construction. Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Emirates Road take you further out across the city. Allow for the peak hours.
RTA Route F45 is a metro link bus that starts at Al Furjan Metro Station and runs to Discovery Gardens. It launched in January 2021 with a 20-minute frequency during peak hours, so check the current timetable before relying on it.
The Red Line, one stop at a time
Al Furjan Metro Station opened on 1 January 2021 as part of the Route 2020 stations. The Gardens and Dubai Investment Park are two of the other stations mapped nearby, and Discovery Gardens is the neighbouring Red Line station. The line is how you reach the rest of the city without a taxi fare.
Landing at DXB
From Dubai International Airport (DXB) a taxi takes you in one leg to the building. The reception desk is the first stop. Parking is there if you arrive by hire car.
The first evening is simple. Spinneys at Al Furjan Pavilion sits beside the Al Furjan Clubhouse, with Boots and African & Eastern close by, and a Costa and a McDonald's if you would rather not cook after the flight. Al Furjan West Pavilion has Geant and Life Pharmacy, plus a barber.
Around the building
Dream Mart Hypermarket, Emirates Co-operative Society and Carrefour Market are mapped as supermarkets in the district, so the weekly shop does not need a car trip across the city.
The Arbor School is mapped as a school in Al Furjan. Arcadia Global School teaches the National Curriculum of England from FS1 through Year 8.
Advanced Care Oncology Center is listed among the clinics in Al Furjan, next to The Aesthetics Clinic, and Swizmed Pharmacy is mapped there too.
Beyond the building, Al Furjan Club and Super Star Sports are mapped as sports centres in the district.
Two playgrounds are mapped in Discovery Gardens, and Al Furjan counts tennis courts and soccer fields among its amenities.
Al Furjan Villas and Townhouses, Azure Residences and The Cycle Residences are among the developments here, so the district mixes houses with apartment buildings. Quortaj is a villa community within Al Furjan with North African inspired architecture. The whole district is fenced and gated, with controlled visitor access.
Al Furjan West Mosque and Al Yaqeen Mosque are the mosques named for the community.
Nakheel is the master developer of Al Furjan. The name Furjan is given as meaning small villages, which suits the village-style clusters of the layout.
A free afternoon and a day out
Al Furjan has two Pavilion retail spaces, one on either side of the development, named Pavilion Al Furjan and Al Furjan West Pavilion. They hold 24 retail outlets, among them restaurants and supermarkets. City Centre Me'aisem and Ibn Battuta Mall are the two big malls closest to the community, and Ibn Battuta Mall adds a Cinepolis cinema and a Carrefour.
JBR, Dubai Marina Walk and The View at The Palm are the main visitor spots reached by car. Dubai Butterfly Garden keeps butterflies of more than 50 species in two climate-controlled domes and stays open all year. It fits a hot afternoon, and it sits well beside a pool morning.
Winter by the pool
Winter is Dubai's driest season, with daytime around 20 to 30 C and cooler evenings, which opens terraces and outdoor dining. That is when the landscaped gardens earn their place next to the pool.
