Downtown Dubai is a master-planned district developed by Emaar Properties, set between Sheikh Zayed Road and Financial Centre Road. Emaar describes it as home to Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and The Dubai Fountain, with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard providing a restaurant-lined promenade through the centre of the district. Burj Khalifa Lake, a man-made lake of over 120,000 sqm, forms the setting for much of the waterfront dining and for the fountain shows. The district also includes Souk Al Bahar, a traditional-style souk beside The Dubai Mall, and upscale hotels such as Address and Vida. The Dubai Metro Red Line serves Downtown through the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station, which makes the area one of the easier parts of the city to reach without a car. Residential choices here are mostly apartments in high-rise towers, with many buildings offering views of Burj Khalifa or the lake.
