Safeer Tower 1, Business Bay
Safeer Tower 1 is an 18-storey Business Bay building with 232 homes, developed by Al Seeb Developers and Al Safeer Group. Business Bay borders Downtown Dubai and has its own Red Line station, next to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall stop. So the tower sits on the edge of the city's busiest district, and the canal is close. Our Business Bay guide for owners covers the whole district.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Inside the building
A swimming pool serves residents and a gym sits inside the building, and children have a play area. You can swim before work and let the children burn off energy in the afternoon.
A residents' lounge or function room adds a shared space for a quiet hour. A laundry service is part of the building, which helps on a long stay. Parking for residents comes with it.
A reception desk serves residents. Security and CCTV cover the premises. Maintenance is provided at the building.
The laundry service
The laundry service is the small detail that long stays notice. Clothes go out and come back without a trip to a laundrette. The residents' lounge gives you somewhere to wait.
When it was built
The building was completed in 2017, so it is under ten years old. That is young by the standards of older Dubai districts, and it shows in how the common areas are planned.
From the airport
From the middle of Business Bay, Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 20.1 km by road, roughly 22 minutes without traffic. A taxi from arrivals does it in one go, and it is one of the shorter airport runs in the city, so you can be unpacking soon after landing and still have the evening free.
The metro
Business Bay Metro Station is on the Red Line, with the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, Financial Centre and Emirates Towers stations nearby. That makes the rail network a short hop from most addresses in the district.
The canal ferry
Marine line DC2 runs along the canal and stops at Marasi and Business Bay among its stations. It gives you a slower and quieter way across the district.
Roads
Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road serve Business Bay, with Ras Al Khor Road as a third route in. Peak-hour traffic can slow things down, so you should leave margin on the way to the airport.
The beach
A public beach is mapped in Business Bay, and the sea is a ride away by taxi.
The canal promenade
The Dubai Water Canal promenade has walking paths and cycling tracks, with waterside dining. Marasi Boardwalk is a waterfront walkway with restaurants beside it.
Bay Avenue Park
Bay Avenue Park is a place for children, with a skate park and graffiti-style design that teenagers like, and many buildings have their own play areas. Business Bay is a well-maintained community with 24/7 security and cafes alongside its parks.
Bay Avenue
Bay Avenue is the area's hub for dining and shopping, with Bay Avenue Mall as its retail centre. The mall has clothing and electronics, plus sportswear and grocery stores. An afternoon indoors is easy to fill.
Events on the avenue
Bay Avenue hosts farmers' markets and music festivals, plus holiday events such as Earth Day and Mother's Day. Events there, including concerts and farmers' markets, give you a chance to meet people over a weekend.
The grocery run
Choithrams and Spinneys serve the larger shop, with Carrefour Market and West Zone Supermarket as other options. A stocked kitchen on the first night makes the arrival day easier.
Pharmacy and doctors
Emirates Hospital Clinic is on Bay Avenue, and Aster Clinic and The Valens Clinic are in the district. LIFE Pharmacy is there too, and Medcare Hospital in Safa is reached by car.
Fitness and spas
Fitness First is in Vision Tower, with Elevation Fitness and BARE in Clover Bay Tower. Wishah Spa and Dreamworks Spa are among the spas named in Business Bay, which suits a rest day after a long week.
Schools and nurseries
Blossoms Nursery and Hummingbird Nursery on Bay Avenue are nurseries in the district. International School of Dubai teaches an American curriculum, and Safa British School and Jumeirah English Speaking School are near it. Business Bay began as a commercial hub and now has nurseries and clinics, with supermarkets and parks, which make it increasingly suitable for families.
Coffee
Tazzina and Costa Coffee are among the cafes listed in Business Bay.
How the district came about
Business Bay was established in 2003 and its infrastructure was completed in 2008. Dubai Properties shaped the district through projects such as Executive Towers and Bay Square.
Dubai Shopping Festival
The Dubai Shopping Festival runs from 4 December 2026 into January, with offers across the city's malls.
Marasi Marina
Dubai Properties appointed ART Marine as the operator of Marasi Marina, which sits beside the Marasi Water Homes on the Dubai Water Canal. It adds a working harbour to the canal side of the district, so the water is more than a view.
Dubai Fitness Challenge
The Dubai Fitness Challenge asks participants for 30 minutes of physical activity a day, and it runs until 29 November 2026.
Mosques
Shaikha Abdulla Salem and Al Qasimi Mosque are mosques mapped in Business Bay, and Bay Avenue Mosque is among the others.
A day in the building
A slow day can stay inside the building. You can swim in the morning and spend the afternoon in the residents' lounge. The laundry service handles the washing, and the play area keeps children busy. The day needs no planning at all.
Mornings
You can swim, train and 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. The residents' lounge suits a quiet conversation. It is a building for settling in.
For a couple
A couple gets a pool and a lounge, which turns an ordinary evening into something slower than a night out. It needs no booking, and it suits a short break well.
For a family
A family with children gets a play area and a pool in the same tower, with Bay Avenue Park close by. A wet weekend passes without a long drive, and the adults can supervise from a chair.
For a long stay
On a stay of several weeks, the laundry service matters more than any view. Repairs go through the building's maintenance service, and a gym downstairs keeps the routine steady. You settle in quickly and stop thinking about logistics.
What to weigh
Safeer Tower 1 suits you if you want an 18-storey base on the edge of Downtown. It suits you less if you want a quiet street, since peak-hour traffic can slow things down. Ontario Tower and Clayton Residency are two other Business Bay buildings with their own guides.
If you own here
Royale Stays manages homes for owners from a management fee of 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. Our guide to Business Bay for owners sets out the permit steps. Hosting guests in a Dubai apartment needs a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism, and owners register on the Holiday Homes System first.
