Ras Al Khor is a neighborhood in Dubai, دبي, United Arab Emirates. It scores 3.4 out of 10 overall — poor — based on AI analysis of satellite and street-level imagery across five categories. That puts it 52nd of the 57 areas measured in Dubai, in the lower half of the list.
The strongest measurements here are public safety (8.1/10), building condition (7.4/10) and architectural quality (7.4/10) — public safety is the highest single reading on the page.
The weakest are cultural life (0.0/10), social infrastructure (0.0/10) and community spaces (0.2/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — cultural life matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Ras Al Khor gives up ground against better-scoring areas.
Shells covers the buildings themselves: their condition, design and upkeep. Ras Al Khor scores 7.4/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: building condition 7.4, architectural quality 7.4 and upkeep 7.4, each out of 10.
Society covers the shared side of a place — meeting spots, services, culture and safety. Ras Al Khor scores 1.5/10 here, which falls down.
Underneath it: community spaces 0.2, social infrastructure 0.0, cultural life 0.0, civic governance 3.5 and public safety 8.1. The gap between public safety and social infrastructure is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Public safety and civic governance are measured at national level rather than street by street, so those two read the same across every area in United Arab Emirates — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.
Networks covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Ras Al Khor scores 1.3/10 here, which falls down.
Underneath it: transit access 0.7 and road connectivity 1.8.
This page is built from 1 analysis of Ras Al Khor. Each analysis reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area, scores the five categories above, and the page shows the average.
Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. The community section on this page is where residents fill in that sort of detail.
