The original Al Zuhoor compound is beautiful - I live just opposite, and the villas look fantastic, very spacious, great clubhouse and lots of greenery. Its close to Villagio and Hyatt Plaza, just off Al Waab street.

Al Zuhoor 2 is just round the corner. Not as impressive because its just been completed, so there's little greenery, it looks a bit utilitarian with a lot of dust around and most of the place is empty. The villas too look really squashed close together. But inside they are very nice - my friend was staying there till recently - they're comfortable and spacious. You'll be happy in either compound I'm sure.
