Each villa has two parking spaces, and public RTA parking nearby is not guaranteed. - Stays check in from 3 PM and check out by 12 PM. Members can use the coworking villa 24/7. - Dubai runs on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) all year, and the UAE weekend is Saturday and Sunday. Arriving somewhere new is easier when you already know the address, how you will get there and who to message if you are lost. This guide covers those basics for a first visit to Nas House, whether you are coming to stay, to work for the day or for an event. ## Where exactly is Nas House? Nas House is at **Villa 53, Opera Villa Compound, Al Barsha First, Al Barsha, Dubai**. It is a private compound of six villas arranged around shared pools, landscaped gardens and gathering areas. You can open it in [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Nas+House+Al+Barsha+Dubai) and save it before you leave. Al Barsha is a residential and commercial neighbourhood in the west of Dubai, inland from the coast, and home to Mall of the Emirates. ## How do you get to Nas House? For most first visits, a taxi or a ride-hailing app is the simplest option. Both Careem and Uber operate in Dubai. Give the driver the full address above, including the villa number and the compound name, and keep the map pin ready to share. If you prefer public transport, the Dubai Metro Red Line has a Mall of the Emirates station in Al Barsha. Check the route and the last leg to the compound before you rely on it, especially in summer heat or with luggage. ## Where can you park? Each villa has two dedicated parking spaces. Additional public RTA parking around the compound depends on availability. Public parking in Dubai is generally paid, so check the signs where you park. For events, Nas House recommends asking guests to come by taxi or ride-hailing. If you are organising one, add that to your invitation; our guide to [planning a garden event](https://articles.nashouse.com/plan-a-garden-event-at-nas-house/) covers arrivals and drop-offs. ## When should you arrive? It depends on why you are coming: - **Staying overnight:** check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM. Stays use self check-in. Ask the team in advance if you need an early arrival or late departure. See [how to plan a stay](https://articles.nashouse.com/plan-a-group-villa-stay-at-nas-house/). - **Working for the day:** non-members can use the coworking space with an AED 99 day pass. Members have 24/7 access to the coworking villa. Our comparison of a [day pass and monthly membership](https://articles.nashouse.com/day-pass-or-monthly-membership/) explains the options. - **Coming for a community event:** check the time and any registration on the [Nas House community calendar](https://www.nas.com/nashouse/home). Some events are open to everyone and some are for members only. ## What should first-time visitors to Dubai know? These are general points about Dubai, not Nas House rules: - **Time zone.** Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, with no daylight saving changes. - **Weekend.** The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday as the weekend. - **Currency.** Prices are in UAE dirhams (AED). - **Heat.** Summer, roughly June to September, is very hot. Plan outdoor time for mornings and evenings, carry water, and allow extra time for short walks. - **Dress and conduct.** Dubai is cosmopolitan, but public conduct rules are stricter than in some countries. Dress modestly in malls and public places. ## What is at Nas House when you arrive?
