Azizi Riviera

Azizi Riviera is a master-planned residential community developed by Azizi Developments within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. It comprises over 70 mid-rise residential buildings arranged around a 2.7 km crystal lagoon and a retail boardwalk.

Location & connectivity

Azizi Riviera sits off Meydan Road (D69), placing it roughly a 10-min drive from Downtown Dubai and DIFC. The community currently relies on private vehicles or taxis; the nearest Metro stations are Meydan or the Rashidiya line, both requiring a short drive. Dubai International Airport is approximately 15 minutes away under normal traffic.

Property mix

The community is almost entirely apartment-led, organised across more than 70 buildings divided into numbered phases and a distinct collection:

• •Studios & apartments (1–3 bed): Riviera Phases 1–4 and ongoing phases, Riviera Azure
• •Retail & F&B podium units: Riviera Boulevard (ground-floor commercial)
• •Penthouses: Select buildings within later phases

• •Hartland International School — approximately 5-min drive, offering IB curriculum
• •North London Collegiate School (NLCS) Dubai — approximately 5-min drive, British curriculum
• •Gems Wellington Academy, Al Khail — approximately 10-min drive, British curriculum

Healthcare

Shopping & dining

The community's own Riviera Boulevard boardwalk hosts cafés, casual dining, and convenience retail, though the full tenant mix is still maturing. Meydan One Mall is planned adjacent to MBR City and will significantly expand local retail when complete. For established options, Dubai Mall and City Walk are both within a 10–15 min drive.

Parks & leisure

The central crystal lagoon is the community's defining leisure feature, offering swimming and waterside walking. The Meydan Racecourse and golf club are approximately 5 minutes away. Downtown Dubai's Burj Park and Zabeel Park are each under 15 minutes by car.

Things to consider

Azizi Riviera is still under phased construction, meaning active building works, dust, and noise remain a reality for current residents. The community lacks direct Metro access and walkable retail maturity, so a car is effectively essential for day-to-day living.
