The Hills - Dubai
HIGHLIGHTS
ABOUT THE HILLS
Emaar Properties, the renowned developer behind Downtown Dubai, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills and other communities, unveiled The Hills in 2013. This project comprises low-rise apartment buildings with stunning views of the Emirates Golf Club.
The Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) highway's prime location and the availability of lavish properties are the key factors that make it a sought-after choice among both buyers and renters.
