This is really scaring, is this international city kind of slum or it is a normal part of city? I m curious cause I dont know about locations in dubai that much.

It is destined to become the "new karama".

The new K-town, even smells appropriate LOL Turning into a proper ghetto I see

On a seperate note I heard there is always massive police pressence there at night. late night check points ???

He-He. It's the slum for people who cannot pay for flat more than $1000 monthly but want to live in Dubai. The rent is approximately the same as in Sharjah, another Bombay.

I ain't sure that there is a slum in American meaning in Dubai.

What slum? The condition is quite exagerrated. Crimes happen in other areas as well. How about last Russian killing in Marina? That makes it a bad place? Yeah it's not like Marina or other posh places but it's by far better than Sharjah. The folks are more mixed than Karama. Plenty of open space. It's now developed, lots of shops/supermarkets (including Spinneys, Carrefour Express, Plug-ins, Auchan hypermarket). Though there are plenty of empty units, but that happens also anywhere in Dubai.

A friend of mine who actually can afford to rent apartment anywhere in Dubai rather choose to stay in Intl City with the reason that it is better to have double sized apartment with half rent rate than in the city. The rest of the money can be used for Merc installments.

New Karama??? What's wrong with Karama?

Yeh, Karama is far nicer than International City (sorry mods, buts thats what they call it, might be because of its proximity to the turd works, or because it comes up out of the ground and festers in the car parks).

Actually that incident is worse than what was described in the papers. My friends say that the building was literally COVERED with blood (they are tenants).

Obviously you live there !

IC was poorly planned and constructed.

A while back, I visited the project with a friend who was exploring it for investment opportunities, but he got turned off -- and I don't blame him. The finishing was inferior, no services or amentias to speak of, no landscaping, no secured covered parking...etc.

The project is adjacent to the city's sewerage plant, and residents cannot open their windows, esp. at night, due to the horrible stench.

It is also adjacent to the Dragon Mart which sells cheap products and is run mostly by the Chinese, who apparently sell other services (girls and God know what) beside cheap merchandise. You might say it's a Chinese Flea Market PLUS!

It's close to Al Aweer industrial area.

It was bound to be a cheap place to live, and it has become so.

It could easily turn into a “ghetto” with time!!!

The proximity to the sewerage plant is the major turn off. The second is the maintenance and facilities.

But what's wrong with Dragon Mart? Every residential area needs commercial areas as well, which follow the demographics of the residence. I don't think it will work if they put luxury mall there.

It's never a good residential area when it's close to industrial area. But so is Downtown Burj to Al Quoz and Marina to Jebel Ali power plant.

Damn how exciting. Who knew IC was so much fun? LOL

Anyways here the update,

Vietnamese gangsters in DXB. Whoa! Now that's a first. They are known for their notoriety and ruthlessness, ask the Aussies !


"The confrontation resulted in the murder of an Indian man, who was struck on the head with a sword, while another was severely injured, said a police source. It is not yet confirmed whether the second person survived his injures."

That's just sadistic.
