Caution at MBZ Road Entrance, come to the Arcadia experience on Saturday and other new items on the JVT website
Dear JVTers,
Caution: Road Works on Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) Road entrance to JVT
UPDATE (Sat 19 Nov) – the new entrance from MBZ Road into JVT is fully opened!
UPDATE (Friday 1:20pm) – RTA was very reactive and contacted me to inform that the road access for Garn Al Sabkha (and if I understood well our JVT entrance) will be re-opened by tonight 6pm.
I’d like to inform fellow residents that the JVT entrance from MBZ road has temporarily shifted. Take care to follow the entrance into the petrol station or you’ll no longer be able to get into JVT at the main entrance. We discovered this coming back home this morning at 8:30am. I have tried to contact RTA for an update on when these road works will be finished. The request has been put in and once I get more news I’ll be sure to share this. Surely these new lanes will be completed in the next days allowing easy entrance in and out of our community. However, for the time being, beware of these changes which are not well signposted.

Meet Gladys – your JVT beauty maven!
Gladys is for real; she does exist. And a very kind lady she is. If you haven’t yet experienced the latest in the JVT cosmetics scene, it’s time to meet Gladys!
I had the good fortune to meet her when I popped into Gladys Beauty Saloon last week. I stopped by, unannounced, and treated myself to a manicure and pedicure. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed! As they didn’t know who I was, I observed and enjoyed the treatment. I was well taken care of by the lovely ladies who told me a bit more about the Saloon and its beginnings.
Then I noticed Gladys. She was testing the latest paraffin wax treatment herself. It seems that Gladys wants to be sure her clients are getting the best so on this day she was trying out a new product she plans to offer. With twenty five years of work experience, Gladys understands quality. She is keen to offer the best services and especially wishes to make you feel right at home. Warm and welcoming, Gladys didn’t hesitate to pull open the front door to greet new arrivals. As she told me, “I just love the job of serving our clients.”
After my treatment, I introduced myself and got the scoop on Gladys. Having spent her formative years in the beauty business, a combination of factors led Gladys to open her own shop fifteen years ago with her first beauty parlour in Karama. The JVT addition is the fifth saloon she has opened, on 20th October, with others in Motor City, Dubai Marina and Al Barsha proudly flanking her original premises. She told me some stories of the early days, counting out her earnings with just enough to pay her team. Today, she leads her beauty empire with 60 ladies in a hands-on manner and with a great passion for her field.
It’s wonderful to now count a full-service saloon inside JVT. While I only had time for a mani/pedi, there are all the options one would expect from full body massage treatments, eyebrow threading, leg waxing, hair cutting, coloring and styling. Do away with your tension and worries while Gladys girls take care of your hair, skin or nails! I, for sure, will be heading back for myself and with my girls for their next hair cuts.
Sorry for the guys, but this place is not for you. However, I recommend you stop in nevertheless and reserve a treatment for your lovely wife or girlfriend. It’s a great idea for a birthday gift, a delightful way to mark any holiday or why not, just to say ‘thank you’ to a special woman in your life.
Find the contact details and booking number on the JVT shops page.

Leisure Club for JVT
Three years away – but something to anticipate !
At Jumeirah Village Triangle, Nakheel has just announced that residents can look forward to preferential membership rates at the planned leisure club at Nakheel’s new hotel at the Al Khail Avenue mall, due for completion in 2019.
The 18-storey, 256-room hotel, to be managed under the Double Tree by Hilton brand, includes a pool deck, gymnasium, lounge, all-day restaurant, coffee shop and lounge. It will be directly linked to Al Khail Avenue’s 350 shops, restaurants and entertainment outlets.
Nakheel has published the following rendering of the expected leisure club:
Sometime in 2018 – Relax in JVC
We’ll have to cross the road, but due to open first in 2018, Nakheel is creating a new community club at Jumeirah Village Circle by adding a pool, sports and restaurant complex to the roof of The Circle Mall. The JVC Club will feature a 300-seat restaurant, a swimming pool and sundeck, two tennis courts, a gymnasium and landscaped gardens, with views across the main community park.
The JVC Club will be located at the top of The Circle Mall, Nakheel’s 400,000 sq ft retail, dining and entertainment hub that is currently under construction. Around 25,000 people already live in JVC, with a predicted population of 300,000 when the community is fully complete making this club a needed recreational venue.
The Circle Mall complex, due for completion next year, will have 235 shops, restaurants and entertainment outlets across three floors. Among them are a multi-screen cinema, Spinneys supermarket and a Faby Land family entertainment centre. There will also be a host of fashion, home and electronics stores, and a wide range of cafes and restaurants. The mall complex also includes a mosque that can accommodate up to 300 people.
Already now in 2016 – Join the Jumeirah Islands Club !
There is no need to wait to swim and dine as Nakheel already has a lovely clubhouse close by. If you aren’t aware, the Jumeirah Islands Club offers favorable rates to residents of Nakheel communities. With their beautiful swimming pool, gym, restaurant and bar, it’s already a favourite destination among many Villagers.
