Hi, I bought on International City 2 years ago just before they started building. I have bought a studio in "Persia" and I was out at Dubai on holiday last month and we were taken and shown our apartment. I was very impressed; especially the one-bedroom ones as they even had a small balcony off the bedroom as well as the sitting area. Building work in "Persia" is coming along well and they will hopefully be finished in the next couple of months. And there was definitely NO SMELL from the sewrage works. Infact everyone who has been out to see it has said that they never experienced any smells. I don't know if I am allowed to mention other sites on here but there are pages dedicated to International City on Channel4 Homes. Click on to "buying abroad" then you will see a question on
