Emaar Properties, the spokesman for Emaar Properties, confirmed that the company will not include the downtown area as part of its Ease holiday program.

The company said in a statement to Emirates Today that this decision comes as part of the company's decision not to provide holiday homes in downtown Dubai, based on requests from customers, where many of the holiday homes were used for non-residential activities and non-family residence.

Emaar announced yesterday that it has entered the holiday rental sector through the Ease service to offer visitors and tourists in Dubai the opportunity to live in the best luxury homes selected within the Emaar residential complexes integrated facilities and services.
