Dubai - Communities

Dubai is divided into 9 sectors: 1-4 & 6 are urban; 7-9 are rural; 8 is Jebel Ali.

Each sector is sub-divided into communities of various size with major (named) roads as the bountries. Currently there are 44 communities.

Communities:

Within these communities are numbered streets and house/building numbers. In general, even numbered streets run parallel to the coast and increase in number as one goes inland. Odd numbered street are perpendicular to the coast and increase as one moves away from the creek. Note that these progressions are repeated within each community so, for example there will be numerous street number 5 along the Jumeirah 1, 2, 3, and Umm Suqeim 'strip'.

Addressing and location: The formal addressing system is: sector number, community number, street number and building number.

In common practice, an address consists of: street number, building number and community name although the order may very. For example:

Street 1a, Villa 2
Umm Suqeim 3
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

There is no home postal delivery with post office boxes used instead.
