Emirates Living is home to 70 lakes spread over 14.2 million square feet, with over 90 floating fountains adding to their aesthetic appeal. Featuring pathways along their banks, LED bollards and benches at regular intrevals, the lakes offer residents a tranquil setting for strolls at any time of the day.
