Al Wasl
Dubai region
Once a quiet suburb of Dubai, Al Wasl has now become one of the city's most popular shopping and entertainment districts.
It's hard to believe that the super busy Al Wasl neighborhood, literally "sandwiched" between the busy Jumeirah Beach Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, was not long ago considered a quiet urban suburb. Its speaking name (translated from Arabic "Al Wasl" means "to connect") fully justifies itself - it is a favorite meeting place for city dwellers.
