Area Guide Al Arjan
Arjan – Freehold Residential & Investment Community in Dubai
Arjan is a freehold, mixed-use community located at the strategic junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Road (D63), just north of Dubai Motor City. Developed as part of the larger DubaiLand master plan, Arjan has emerged as a growing residential destination offering affordability, accessibility, and long-term investment potential.
Community Overview
Launched in 2006, Arjan was originally envisioned as a district dominated by theme parks and entertainment attractions. Like many large-scale developments in Dubai, progress slowed during the global financial crisis of 2010, placing the area temporarily on hold.
In recent years, development momentum has returned. Construction activity has resumed across the community, with the majority of buildings now completed or nearing completion. As of September 2020, Arjan featured:
- 48 completed residential buildings
- 37 buildings under development
- Several vacant plots earmarked for future projects
- A nearly complete road and infrastructure network
While the pace of new project launches remains measured, Arjan continues to mature into a well-connected residential hub with strong livability prospects.
Key Landmarks & Attractions
Arjan’s revival has been supported by the introduction of some of Dubai’s most popular family attractions, including:
- Dubai Miracle Garden (opened in 2013) – the world’s largest natural flower garden
- Dubai Butterfly Garden (opened in 2015) – home to thousands of butterflies in climate-controlled domes
These attractions have enhanced Arjan’s visibility and appeal, making it a recognizable destination for residents and visitors alike.
Location & Connectivity
Arjan benefits from excellent road connectivity, offering easy access to major areas across Dubai:
- Dubai Motor City – adjacent
- Dubai Sports City – nearby
- Mall of the Emirates – approx. 15 minutes
- Downtown Dubai – approx. 20 minutes
- Dubai International Airport (DXB) – approx. 25 minutes
Its position between two major arterial roads makes Arjan particularly attractive for commuters and investors seeking value-driven real estate in a central location.
Why Invest in Arjan?
Arjan presents solid opportunities for both homeowners and investors due to:
- Freehold ownership for all nationalities
- Competitive property prices compared to neighboring communities
- Growing rental demand driven by affordability and accessibility
- Ongoing infrastructure and community development
- Proximity to leisure attractions and key business districts
As Dubai continues to expand outward, Arjan is well-positioned to benefit from long-term urban growth and rising residential demand.
