Khalifa City was divided into three areas, originally known as Khalifa City A (now known as Khalifa City), Khalifa City B (now known as Shakhbout City) and New Khalifa City (now known as Zayed City). Khalifa City is one of the popular areas for renting affordable apartments in Abu Dhabi.

Nestled just off the main island of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa City offers a serene and spacious suburban lifestyle that’s increasingly sought after by families, professionals, and long-term investors. The area features elegant villas, low-rise residential buildings, landscaped streets, and wide open spaces, all designed to support a family-centric lifestyle with privacy and peace of mind.
The neighborhood is divided into Khalifa City A, Khalifa City B (Shakhbout City), and New Khalifa City, each offering slightly different atmospheres but sharing the same core features: low-density living, ample parking, and a growing array of amenities. The community is also known for its value-for-money property options, making it one of the most cost-effective areas to own large villas or invest in rental homes.
With a blend of Emirati culture and international appeal, Khalifa City is perfect for those seeking a balance between connectivity and calm.
