DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre)
DIFC is Dubai's financial free zone between Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, built around Gate Village's galleries and restaurants alongside the district's banks, law firms and trading floors. Housing is limited and largely apartment-based, concentrated in towers such as Index Tower and the newer Residences by DIFC, and suits professionals who work in the district and want to walk to the office. Financial Centre and Emirates Towers metro stations sit within the zone, keeping the rest of the city close without a car.
