The bad thing is that Dubai Municipality is not planning to shut this treatment facility down. Worse, there are plans to expand the treatment facility to recieve more sewage water!!!

it really smells like s*it almost everynight depending on wind direction I
guess!!!

did you hear what i said? It smells like s*it!!

Any Solution?????

i can not stand the smell of Fecis in my nose and on my clothes!!


sorry for that, i guess it is a taboo to talk about it but i wanted to open the subject for discussion.

Dubai Municipality (in this case Nakheel) is not only planning to extend these treatment facilities, but they keep on building smaller once inside International city. They built one next to Morocco and one next to Russia; I won’t be surprised if they built one where lost city is supposes to be in the Heart of the city.
Instead of developing the community they build sewage plants.
I think the name of International city is wrong should be The Smelly city.
And what really pissing me off is that we keep on paying ridicules service charges, just to smell more and more ****.
And looks like - no way out – no body is asking us, they just want money.
I suggest we stop paying and find a proper management company which will look after the people leaving in International city.

Hi my son is moving to dubai in april and will be renting to start with although his long term plan is to buy and has been looking at International City. We heard it was a bit smelly but it seems to be a lot more than that. I don't want to put him off but on the other hand I don't want him to commit to a year's rent and hate it there. Any advice

I would recommend him to first come to International City, move around, visit it again at night time. If he sense any smell tell him to leave this option and if he doesn't then he should opt for it.

Hello,
thanks for the info, I was about to invest in the International City but if it stinks there is no point, rental will be impossible.

When I tried to seek a refund of the difference in price, from the agent in Manchester he offered a third of what I over paid him and now have to go through the courts to seek the rest. If anybody would like to know more info please post a reply.
Also surely Nakeel are aware of the smell and have made a suggestion to improve the matter??

Thanks

Oh yes Nakheel are aware of the problem and they are building new cluster next to the sewage plant to protect the other cluster. Constriction is in progress and in couple of months Morocco will be well shielded from the horrible smell.

I have a studio apartment in International city cluster Spain, which I would like to rent out but our agents are playing game. Is there anyway I can check whether some one is occupied in the apartment or not I live in USA and can not visit frequently. Please help/advice.

Finally some good news for all the people living in international city.
Nakheel will build a new cluster named Emirates.

Emirates cluster is overlooking the sewage plant and is just next to the horrible monster.
Once is build the cluster will serve as a shield form the horrible smell to the rest of the international city clusters.
