Tanaro, The Views, Dubai
A 25-storey tower developed by Emaar Properties, Tanaro was finished in 2010 and holds 249 homes. The Views, the master-planned Emaar community around it, sits within the Emirates Living masterplan beside The Greens. So the tower belongs to a planned district with lakes and golf nearby, and a layout that is easy to learn.

- Frequently Asked Questions
A weekend, a week, a month
A weekend here is the easy case. The building has a sauna and a jacuzzi, and a spa besides, so a Friday evening can stay indoors and still feel planned, with nothing to book across town.
Stay a week and the routine does more than the spa. You can swim in the pool before breakfast and work out in the gym when you get back, and because both sit in the building, you can fit either one around a late arrival or an early start without planning a trip.
A month changes the questions you ask. A laundry service and maintenance support in the building matter more than any view, because they decide how much of the stay goes on chores and how quickly a small fault gets fixed.
Studio to three bedrooms
The homes run from studios up to three bedrooms, with one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes between them. That range lets you size the stay to the party. A studio suits a solo traveller, a one-bedroom suits a couple, and the larger homes suit a family that wants a closed door between bedrooms.
The shared rooms
Families get a play area for children inside the building, so an hour of play needs no outing. The lounge or function room gives the tower a shared indoor room for a quiet hour. Cafes or restaurants share the block as well, which keeps the first coffee of a stay inside the building.
From DXB to the front desk
Dubai International (DXB) is 32.7 km from the tower, about 32 minutes by road without traffic. A taxi from arrivals does it in one leg, though it is a long run, so a late arrival works better here than a rushed one. Once you reach the building, a reception desk and CCTV security cover the premises.
Which way out of The Views
The Views sits between Sheikh Zayed Road to the north and First Al Khail Road to the south. Parking comes with the tower, so a car is never a problem to keep.
The metro is the long option from here: Al Fardan Exchange station sits 1.37 km from the tower. Feeder bus F31 links The Views with Dubai Internet City station, a Red Line stop on five RTA bus routes.
A bus stop 0.28 km from the tower makes the feeder an easy first step. Taxis and ride-hailing services work in The Views as well.
The sea is a ride away
The nearest beach is 2.35 km from the tower, so a swim in the sea means a short ride rather than a stroll. The Marina Walk water bus stop is 2.48 km away, which gives you another way across to the Marina side.
The golf club next door
The Views is built around lakes and waterways near Emirates Golf Club. Some apartments face the golf course and others face the lake or the canal, depending on the building. The club opened in 1988 with 36 holes and runs the Majlis Course and the Faldo Course, and the first Dubai Desert Classic was played there in 1989.
The district around the tower is a group of building clusters between The Greens and the golf club. Low and mid-rise apartments sit there beside high-rise towers, villas and townhouses.
Greens Park and the garden
Greens Park is 0.47 km from the tower, and The Greens next door adds a central lake with shaded walking paths. A dog park sits on Street 6. The Backyard is a garden on Street 3. The Children's Park near the pond has dedicated playgrounds, and the pathways inside The Views are lined with greenery, with gardens and lakes beside the play parks.
The souk and the shopping run
The Views has no mall of its own. Everyday shopping and dining happen at The Greens Souk next door, which has a supermarket and a pharmacy, with a bank and a book store beside them.
Asswaq is the first-evening shop for water and milk, 0.22 km from the tower, with Marina Pharmacy 0.71 km away for anything else. Choithrams is in The Greens Village community centre. Carrefour Market has a store in Barsha Heights for a bigger shop. Organic Foods near Emaar Business Park sells organic groceries and keeps a cafe attached.
Dinner in the souk or in Barsha Heights
Wagamama and Mashawi both have restaurants in The Greens Souk. Pitfire Pizza is there too. Bert's Cafe there keeps board games for customers. Arrows and Sparrows Cafe serves pet-friendly breakfasts with a playground.
Casual dining in The Greens is concentrated in the souk, and if you want a livelier evening, Barsha Heights next door has bars and nightclubs as well as restaurants and cafes. Barsha Heights is the busier side. Lah Lah serves Southeast Asian food with vegan options. Yugo Sushi serves Japanese food in Emirates Business Park.
Clinics and the gym down the road
Dubai Media City Clinic is 1.35 km from the tower and Saudi German Hospital is 1.54 km away, which puts a doctor within a short drive if a stay goes wrong. Al Zahra Hospital is also in Al Barsha, next to The Greens and The Views. Master Hands Physiotherapy works inside The Greens.
MMA is 0.95 km from the tower if you want a session beyond the building's gym. The Views also has running and jogging tracks and tennis courts, and The Greens has a community tennis court that must be booked in advance.
Classrooms for a long stay
Regent International School is 0.21 km from the tower and follows the British National Curriculum with IGCSE and A-Level pathways, from Foundation Stage 1 to Year 13. Jumeirah International Nursery in The Greens follows the English Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
A bigger day out
Dubai Moving Image Museum is 1.18 km from the tower, which makes it the nearest outing that is not a shop. Ski Dubai is at Mall of the Emirates. It is an indoor ski resort and snow park, so a hot afternoon can end in snow. Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden are in Al Barsha, south of its residential areas.
Before the towers
Emirates Living is an Emaar master development that started in 1999, and The Greens and The Views are two of its neighbourhoods. The Greens launched in June 2002 as the first freehold project completed in Dubai's property market, covering 65 acres.
What to weigh
Each Greens complex shares a pool and a gym among four low-rise buildings, while a tower of this height keeps its own facilities under one roof. It suits you less if you want a mall at the door, since The Views has none. That is the trade.
If you own here
