Moving to Dubai?
Here is where things actually are.

Every number below is a real measurement, not an estimate: we checked 119,850 locations across دبي, الإمارات العربية المتحدة against each set of requirements.

Treat these figures as a floor, not a verdict. A probe of central Dubai found only 0 shops and places to eat within a ten-minute walk — fewer than are really there. That happens for two reasons: OpenStreetMap coverage here is thin, and the administrative boundary being measured can take in a lot of land nobody would call the city. Either way the percentages below describe what has been mapped inside that boundary, and the real figure is higher. Adding places to OpenStreetMap improves it for everyone.

How to read these numbers

A percentage here is the share of Dubai where all of the listed requirements are met at once — not the share that has one of them. That is why “without a car” is always the harshest test: four things, all within five minutes, is genuinely rare.

Walking times are straight-line distance at 80 m/min. They are not routed, so in a city split by a river or a motorway they read slightly optimistic. Place data is from OpenStreetMap contributors, last refreshed 2026-03-02.
