About Emirates Cluster 21
Emirates Cluster 21 (EMR‑21) is a low‑rise residential building within the Emirates Cluster of International City in Al Warsan, Dubai. The wider community is known for its country‑themed clusters and practical, value‑driven living, with everyday retail and services on the doorstep. Architecture in the Emirates Cluster follows an Arabian‑inspired aesthetic with sandy‑coloured façades and simple finishes. Apartments in EMR‑21 are primarily studios and one‑bedroom units, many with balconies. Buildings in the cluster are mid‑2000s stock, generally rising to around five floors with straightforward layouts and basic shared areas. Ground‑level retail and small supermarkets operate within and around the cluster, supporting a residential environment focused on convenience. Daily life here is centred on walkable access to groceries, cafés, pharmacies and neighborhood services, while larger shopping and leisure needs are met nearby at Dragon Mart and other International City destinations. Open walkways and pocket landscaping are found around the cluster. Parking is largely at‑grade street parking and can be busy during peak times. Connectivity is a key draw. International City sits off Manama Street with quick links to major arteries including Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Ras Al Khor Road (E44), offering straightforward access to adjacent districts such as Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Al Warqaa. Public transport is provided by RTA bus routes running through International City, with connections to metro stations on the Red and Green Lines; the community itself is not directly on the metro.
