THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF DUBAI METRO STATION IN DUBAI IS NOT OPEN YET. KEEP CHECKING TIME OUT DUBAI FOR MORE DETAILS.

Feeder buses to and from Emirates Hills (F35), the Meadows (F38) and Knowledge Village (F32)

1 Emirates Golf Club: This is within walking distance of the metro station and, in true Dubai ‘best and blingest’ fashion, it won the top spot in Golf Digest’s 100 Best Golf Courses Outside the US. You can relax in any one of its restaurants and bars – after you’re done putting on the greens that play host to the Dubai Desert Classic, that is. We recommend the aptly named Sports Bar: it has seven flat-screen TVs and more than 20 channels of sport.

3 Nineteen: If you’re feeling peckish, you should head to the vast expanse of green that is The Montgomerie Golf Course and Resort. Here you can enjoy a classy dinner at this impressive restaurant found at The Montgomerie Clubhouse, a past winner of our Best Contemporary European Restaurant accolade.

5 Holiday Inn Express: The two-star Holiday Inn Express in Knowledge Village is a seemingly average hotel. However, The Vista restaurant is an extremely pleasant surprise. It has views of the Burj Al Arab from its terrace, helpful staff and consistently delicious international grub – and all this at Holiday Inn prices (read: cheap).
