Location
The Dubai Water Canal, 100 metres wide, leaves Dubai Creek at Deira, passes through Business Bay and meets the sea at Jumeirah Beach. Water-bus and private-boat stops line both banks, so passengers can reach Business Bay by water from Dubai Creek.
Business Bay lies 1.5 km from Burj Khalifa. It is a business district of office and residential towers laid out with landscaped gardens, roads and waterways, and its freehold projects total 64 million square feet. After the 2008 downturn, the district's balance of building tilted from commercial towards residential. The district holds nine sub-communities, among them Al Habtoor City, Bay Square and Peninsula Business Bay.
Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, two of the main highways along the length of Dubai, both connect to Business Bay, and Business Bay Metro station serves the district. A second phase of upgrades to the district's parallel roads was finished in June 2018: the western stretch between Al Meydan Street and Financial Street was widened to four lanes per direction, up from three, with service roads added along most of it.
