EXPO VILLAGE SERVICED APARTMENTS, Dubai

The apartments sit directly outside the EXPO 2020 metro station, making it the starting point of the metro line - a guaranteed seat into the city. Dubai Marina and The Walk at JBR are about 19 km away, while Gurunanak Darbar Sikh Temple is 13 km from the property. The area is quiet and away from the city bustle, but a car is helpful for reaching supermarkets, restaurants, and other daily services. Free on-site parking with reservation is available. Al Forsan Park is a short walk away, and the Expo 2020 site itself offers a large green area with cafes and restaurants.

Each apartment comes with air conditioning, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, utensils), and a balcony - many overlooking the garden or pool. Two-bedroom apartments have two bathrooms. Beds are comfortable, and apartments are cleaned daily with linen and towel changes. Some apartments overlook the metro line, which can be audible, so requesting a pool-view apartment is advisable. The property uses traditional keys rather than electronic key cards. While most apartments are well-maintained, a few units may have older furniture or minor odours; maintenance responds promptly to requests.

Each apartment includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kitchenware, and a washing machine, making self-catering straightforward. The property offers free grocery delivery for supplies. A minimarket is located on site, and a larger supermarket (Tudomarket) is within a 5-minute walk. The Expo 2020 site itself has several restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, including The Daily at the Rove Hotel which offers a 20% discount for Expo Village residents.

The main outdoor pool is heated and open from 06:00 to 22:00, with pool towels, sun loungers, and umbrellas provided. A separate children's pool with a fence around it is available. The fitness centre is well-equipped with modern machines and free weights, offering views of the pool. The property also has a lush garden, a children's playground with outdoor play equipment, and a barber/beauty shop. The area is very quiet and family-friendly, with several additional playgrounds around Expo Village. Lockers are available in the fitness/spa area.

The 24-hour front desk and concierge service can assist with check-in, luggage storage, and arranging taxis. Daily housekeeping is included free of charge and includes linen and towel changes.
