Binghatti Point, Dubai Silicon Oasis
Binghatti Point was developed by Binghatti Developers and stands 14 storeys tall in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Its homes are one-bedroom and two-bedroom, which makes it a block for couples and small families rather than for big groups. It is a mid-rise address where the daily needs sit under one roof.
A one-night stopover and a three-month stay ask different things of a building, and this one answers both fairly well. A weekend visitor wants a short walk from the lift to the bed and a pool nearby. A remote worker staying a month wants a gym and a car space, and the district is planned as a 15-minute city, with homes, shops and offices close together. Families fit the two-bedroom plan, and the car stays in the block's own parking.

- Frequently Asked Questions
From the first coffee to the last lift
Start the day in the gym. It is inside the building, so the commute is a lift ride. The swimming pool is the second stop. A slow length before the day gets hot sets up a long afternoon. There are cafes or restaurants on site as well, so breakfast needs no taxi and no walk across the district. Gym, pool and coffee in one building give a short stay a clear shape and a long stay a routine it can lean on.
A supermarket sits within the building or its podium, which settles the first evening's shopping before you have unpacked. If it has run out of something, Arhan Grocery is 0.12 km from the tower and Stefanie Supermarket is 0.13 km away, so a forgotten item costs you a two-minute stroll rather than a drive.
Forgot a charger or a pack of plasters over the long flight? Aster Pharmacy is 0.23 km from the entrance, so the gap closes before the kettle boils.
When the gym downstairs is not enough
If you train hard, Fitness First is the bigger club, 0.51 km from the block. Nitro Gym is in Apricot Towers. Ten gyms sit within 3 km of the tower, so a month of regular sessions never has to repeat the same room, and for a long stay that variety counts for more than the small gym and pool downstairs.
Desk, cameras and the car space
A reception desk serves the building, security and CCTV cover it, and maintenance services are provided on site. In practice a key problem or a dripping tap has a person to go to, and a bag left in the flat while you are out has some cover behind it. For anyone arriving late from the airport, a staffed lobby is a comfort.
Most people in Dubai Silicon Oasis drive or take taxis. Residential buildings often give residents reserved parking, while public parking is usually paid, so the space that comes with the block saves a small daily cost. A month with a hire car suits you when the space is confirmed with the building before you book, because the answer shapes the whole trip.
One bedroom or two, for a week or a month
The one-bedroom suits one or two adults. For a week it is plenty, and for a month it still works if you do not mind one living space doing the job of office and sitting room. The two-bedroom gives a second door, so a family or two colleagues can keep separate hours. Binghatti Point stops at two bedrooms. Apartments in the wider district run up to three, so a party of five or six is better placed in a larger plan elsewhere, and it is kinder to book that plan than to squeeze everyone in.
Landing at DXB
The drive from Dubai International (DXB) is 20.9 km, about 21 minutes in free-flowing traffic. Taxis, ride-hailing and private cars are the convenient ways in, given the limited direct metro coverage. One taxi leg takes you from the terminal to the building entrance.
Buses, and a taxi for the Red Line
There is no metro station inside the community. The nearest bus stop, Silicon Oasis Axiom 1, is 0.52 km from the block. Centrepoint is the usual Red Line stop. Bus 320 covers the last leg for anyone who rides. With bags, a taxi to Centrepoint is the easier route.
The roads in and out
Two big roads run beside the community: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Dubai Al Ain Road (E66). Traffic builds at the main entrances and exits in the morning and evening peaks. An arrival at midday is smoother than one at six.
It suits you less if
It suits you less if you want a lively night out. A metro on the doorstep is also missing. Nightlife here is limited, and construction still under way in parts of the community can bring noise and dust. Owners weighing a unit here can read our guide to Dubai Silicon Oasis for owners before they decide. If a short walk to a supermarket and a quiet evening matter more than a night out, Binghatti Point is worth a closer look.
A district added in layers
Dubai Silicon Oasis opened in 2004 as a hub for innovation and technology. Dubai Digital Park followed in 2018. The streets around the block read as a district built one layer at a time. Dtec, the start-up campus, opened in 2015.
Schools, if the stay is a term
Indian International School is 0.67 km from the block, so the school run is short for a family staying a term. GEMS Wellington Academy is 1.5 km away and has three 25 m swimming pools on its campus.
Running tracks and a water wall
DSO North Park, by IT Plaza, has play areas and a football court, plus a running track. For something longer, DSO Lake Ecological Park is open around the clock and has paved paths beside a lake, which suits a run before the heat arrives. A park sits 0.42 km from the building, and the DSO Water Wall is 0.74 km away, which makes either a short outing for an evening after the pool.
Dinner within five hundred metres
Beyond the cafes in the building, five restaurants sit within 500 m of the tower, among them Sarhad and GoThai. Twenty lie inside a kilometre, which is plenty of choice for a longer stay. Souq Extra is the retail strip for a bigger evening. It has more than 30 outlets, including Carrefour and KFC.
The big shop and the big mall
Silicon Central, 1.17 km from the tower, has more than 150 stores, with Lulu Hypermarket and Brands For Less as anchor tenants. It is the stop for the monthly shop, for a hot afternoon, or for anything the supermarket in the building does not stock. Q1 Mall is the second option. It sits 2.95 km from the tower.
A clinic and a hospital
Medi Family PolyClinic in SIT Tower offers general practice and specialist services, and BinSina Pharmacy is inside Souq Extra Mall. HLG Umar, a hospital, is 1.32 km from the block, and Axon Clinic is 1.4 km away.
If you own here
Dubai requires a DET holiday home permit for each unit before it is listed, and every apartment needs its own permit. A building or owners' association no-objection certificate may be needed on top, and many buildings ask visitors to register. Royale Stays manages homes for owners at a management fee from 15%. The service covers furnishing and photography. It also covers pricing and check-in, plus guest communications and maintenance coordination.
