Originally, Khalifa City was segmented into three distinct areas: Khalifa City A (now simply Khalifa City), Khalifa City B (renamed Shakhbout City), and New Khalifa City (currently Zayed City). Khalifa City has become a sought-after location for those seeking cost-effective apartment rentals in Abu Dhabi.
The popularity of Khalifa City as a residential area is understandable, given its strategic location along the route to Dubai. This suburban district is notable for hosting the prominent headquarters of Etihad Airways, a landmark visible from both sides of the highway when approaching Abu Dhabi from Dubai.
Adding to its appeal, Khalifa City is home to two major recreational facilities: the Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Al Forsan International Sports Resort. These attractions significantly enhance the area's desirability for both investors and tenants.
