Nad Al Sheba Guide
Living in Nad Al Sheba with family
Repton School Dubai is situated in Nad Al Sheba 3, a prestigious district known for its spacious villas and proximity to Meydan Racecourse. This central-eastern location offers excellent connectivity to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and the newer developments around Dubai Creek Harbour. The area has a distinctly upmarket residential feel with wide streets and mature landscaping. Families moving to Meydan, Dubai Hills Estate, or the rapidly expanding Ras Al Khor corridor find Repton particularly convenient. The school's 50-acre campus benefits from the open space characteristic of this area, allowing for exceptional sports facilities unavailable in more central locations.
