## Al Furjan at a glance

A Nakheel-master-planned "collection of small villages" (the literal Arabic meaning): low-rise apartment blocks and villa/townhouse clusters knitted together by landscaped walkways and parks around two "Pavilion" community hubs, rather than the high-rise towers of neighbouring Marina/JLT. Wedged between Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) next to Discovery Gardens and Ibn Battuta Mall. Notable as one of the few mid-priced villa belts in Dubai with its own Red Line metro stop, which is why it reads as quiet-suburban yet well-connected and draws a strong buy-to-let / yield-investor crowd.

## Who it suits

- Families wanting villa/townhouse space at relatively accessible price points (apartments ~AED 1,378-1,458/sqft)
- Young professionals and couples commuting to Dubai Marina / Media City / JLT
- Yield-focused buy-to-let investors

## Homes and prices

Mostly low-to-mid-rise apartments (studio to 3BR) plus 3-5BR villas and 3-4BR townhouses; no high-rise towers

Apartment sales roughly AED 1,378-1,458/sqft - the cited Bayut index currently shows ~AED 1,378/sqft, with off-plan averages running higher (~AED 1.45M). Average/typical apartment sale ~AED 1.36M. Per-bedroom psf is roughly flat (1BR ~1,465/sqft, 2BR ~1,430/sqft) and should be re-checked against the live index. Sale figures only; no rent figure cited. (as of 2026-05.)

**Ownership:** Freehold - a DLD-designated zone where non-GCC foreign nationals can hold full freehold title; designation is plot-specific, so verify the individual plot on the DLD register before purchase

## Getting around

In-community Al Furjan Metro Station on the Red Line (Route 2020), plus Discovery Gardens and Ibn Battuta stations nearby; bus F46 internally. By car ~15 min to Dubai Marina, ~25-30 min to Downtown/DIFC, and quick reach to Expo City / Dubai South and Al Maktoum (DWC) Airport

## Lifestyle

Two "Pavilion" community centres (Spinneys, cafes, clinics, gym) anchor everyday retail, with Geant/Carrefour and Ibn Battuta Mall a short hop away; landscaped parks, walking and cycling tracks throughout, and Jebel Ali Recreation Club nearby. Marina/JBR beaches are about 15 minutes by car
