Al Qusais, Residential neighborhood in eastern Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Al Qusais is a residential neighborhood in eastern Dubai that includes multiple subdivisions with both residential and industrial areas. The district extends toward the border with the neighboring emirate of Sharjah.
The area was originally an industrial zone that gradually transformed into a residential neighborhood starting in the late 20th century. This shift reflects Dubai's rapid urban growth and the city's evolution from industrial to mixed-use zones.
The neighborhood is home to schools teaching Arabic, Australian, British, American, and Indian curricula, reflecting how families from around the world have made this area their home. You can sense this diversity in the shops, restaurants, and daily interactions throughout the district.
Five stations of Dubai Metro's Green Line serve the neighborhood and connect it to central Dubai. The metro makes it easy to explore the area and reach other parts of the city.
The Dubai Police Museum, located in Al Mulla Plaza, was recognized by the International Council of Museums in 1987. The museum showcases the history and work of the local police force through its exhibits and displays.
