Interesting, this hotel adjacent to the three-star Rove Expo has always been sitting there unused.

It was supposed to be a Vida (Emaar) hotel during Expo 2020 itself, but those plans were shelved.

We’re excited to unveil Cheval Maison at Expo City Dubai, a fresh milestone in luxury hospitality. Featuring 151 stylish rooms and studios, alongside premium apartments, this standout property boasts a rooftop pool, diverse dining and cutting-edge event spaces. Nestled in the core of Expo City Dubai, it offers guests and residents prime access to top-tier attractions nearby.

Expo City Dubai is a mixed-use development that builds on the legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai, the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia regions. The design of the masterplan provides an opportunity to introduce a new centre for the future of Dubai. A development that acquired LEED Gold/ Well Community Gold certification and is an innovation-driven, people-centric community, rooted in the belief that collaboration can propel sustainable progress.

Developed in collaboration with Buro Happold (Engineering/Sustainability), SLA (Landscape and Public Space Design), Endpoint (Wayfinding) and LDC (lighting), EGIS (AoR), Compass (Cost Consultant) and Vedra (Project management support), the Expo City Dubai masterplan is designed as a blueprint for sustainable urban living and is one of five hubs on the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, with its roadmap to achieving net zero by 2050 and its broader decarbonisation targets that aim to raise the bar on responsible urban development.

Everything on the main site just sends you to register your interest and none of the brochures etc give any details of expected handover dates.

Really interested to know if there's anything still being built or any of the new residences are open and people living in them?

What we currently know is that the living areas of Expo city will be called Expo valley and will be split into several projects we have Shamsa townhouses, Sidr residences, Yasmina villas and Maha villas these ones are confirmed and already broke ground Q3 2024 but some still didn't start the process of the making and expected to be completed by Q4 2026 while the projects that broke ground already will expect a handover around Q2 2026 but most of them at this point are still laying foundations

Agree. The new Al Wasl shows are insanely annoying.

They used to play beautiful shows and music at Al Wasl Dome, but what they are testing now day and night is absolutely disgusting. It gives all the people staying at the Rove sleepless nights, and even for visitors it's just unbearable noise. Bad management?

Expo City Dubai launched 2nd phase of its Shamsa Townhouses. A community focused on health and wellbeing, Expo Valley is within a short walk or cycle from all the attractions of Expo City Dubai

Shamsa’s second phase features three- and four-bed townhouses priced from $980,926 and located within a beautiful, green landscape, featuring cycling tracks, walking trails and a nature reserve, as well as a plethora of amenities including playgrounds, recreational facilities, cafés and farm-to-table dining.

For those planning to visit or stay at Rove Expo: some of the food trucks have already closed, e.g. WOFL and Mattar Farm. There are now way less food options at Expo City than just few weeks ago.

The initial stage of the two-phase project is anticipated to reach completion by January 2026. As we eagerly await its completion, Expo City will host COP28 in November, reinforcing its ongoing dedication to championing sustainability.
