I'm not sure where you mean when you say 'business district'? Anyway, both are primary schools only and both have quite a good reputation. Kings is actually one of the three schools we applied to but we ended up with another school. I have a friend whose child will start at Safa in September. She liked it for the 'community' feel of it and the fact that it was quite a small school. How old are your children? Kings have actually closed their waiting lists for some years as they are quite a popular school. Both Kings and Safa are more or less in the same area. (Umm Suqueim/Jumeirah). Sorry I can't give you first hand information, but I guess it's better than nothing.
