Old Town: holiday apartments and what to expect

Old Town is Downtown Dubai's low-rise neighbourhood: six Emaar residential districts — Yansoon, Reehan, Miska, Zaafaran, Zanzabeel and Kamoon — with about 1,549 apartments in mostly three-storey buildings. Emaar modelled it on old Dubai and Al Bastakiya, with earthy plaster facades, mashrabiya-style balconies, courtyards and shaded walkways. It sits off Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, within walking distance of Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Opera.
