Thanks for that.

How far is the greens from Jumeriah beach park? On the map it appears quite far away. Even the marina area seems quite far from Bur Dubai. However I take it that this area must be quite developed and have good amenities etc?

jumeirah beach park was about 20 mins in the taxi, but this was before we realised that the taxi driver had scammed us and gone a really long way round! along the al sufouh road (on a good day) its like 10 mins. such a beautiful park and beach! amazingly clean and beautifully manicured lawns - love the little barbeque areas too. on that note, can people set up barbeques on their balconies in apartment blocks?

Most apartment blocks have rules about setting fire to things (including meat) on your balcony. The rules basically say: "You can't". So if BBQs are your thing you need to get a ground floor apartment with a patio. Or a villa.

I hear that the Greens is overshadowed by large towers and traffic has redirected from the congestion areas to the small residentail roads around the Greens. I have been advised to go with the Marina. any thoughts??????
