Perhaps you might have explored the bits more suited to your needs...
And for pedantry purposes, Florida is also in the Gulf

Re: Dubai international City
International City isn't as bad as some make out - generally the people who say it's bad have never been there. I've been here for over six months and it provides what I need in Dubai.
For one, the rent is nice and cheap which is a bonus. The number of small shops and restaurants is growing by the week, there's plenty of options to get something delivered and a pint of milk is only a phone call away. Sure, the restuarants aren't exactly high dining, but are all I need for during the week.
For big shops etc. Festival City is only up the road, or if you really want a Spinneys you can always go into the hell that is Uptown Mirdiff.
TBH, the best part about International City is the noise - or complete lack of it. It's so quiet here. We've had a lie in this morning with the balcony door wide open listening to the birds flying over the lake with the sunshine streaming in. Try doing that in Bur Dubai...

I am surprised that you say it is so quiet.
I know a couple of people living in CBD who are at their wits end with construction noise next to them - but maybe you are well away from that.
Also, I always had the image of International City having 28 labourers crammed into a studio, which wouldnt naturally give an air of peace. How wrong can you be? Quite a lot, obviously.
