For a villa? Not too many really, although the journey from Al Barsha shouldn't be too bad. I have a friend who lives at the far side of Barsha and works almost opposite Emirates Towers and her journey isn't bad at all.

Check out journey times coming in the back way from Mirdif, Garhoud or Al Rashidiyah.
