About the area

Al Diyafah Residences is a residential subcommunity in the Al Satwa area of Dubai.

The scheme was announced by Wasl as ready for leasing and includes a mix of apartment and townhouse units together with street-level retail.

Transport and key distances

Public transport: the nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line is identified as code R22, at an approximate straight-line distance of 2,144 metres from the site. That distance places the station beyond a short walking range for most residents, so journeys to the metro will usually require a short drive, taxi, bike or bus connection.

Road distances and typical drive times reported around the development include both kilometre distances and approximate driving minutes to major Dubai points. From Al Diyafah Residences:

  • Dubai International Airport (DXB): about 9.6 km; commonly reached in roughly 15 minutes by car depending on traffic.
  • Burj Khalifa / Downtown Dubai: about 4.7 km.
  • The Dubai Mall: about 4.8 km; a typical car journey is reported at roughly 12 minutes.
  • Business Bay: about 6.0 km.
  • Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC): about 3.3 km.
  • Palm Jumeirah: about 19.4 km; an indicative drive time reported around 24 minutes.
  • Burj Al Arab: indicative drive time given at roughly 22 minutes (distance by road varies by route).
  • The Walk JBR: indicative drive time reported at roughly 27 minutes; distance by road varies.
  • Mall of the Emirates: about 15.3 km.
  • Expo City Dubai: about 33.4 km.
  • Global Village: about 19.2 km.
  • Dubai Marina and JBR Beach: about 22.1–22.7 km.
  • Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC): about 39.7 km; an indicative drive time reported around 48 minutes.

For daily commuting this location is convenient for access to Downtown Dubai, DIFC and DXB. Travel times will depend on time of day and chosen route; the site benefits from proximity to central business districts while not being positioned directly on a metro station.

Development, on-site composition and nearby projects

Project details announced by the developer specify a completed residential scheme prepared for leasing: 126 apartments and 40 townhouses together with four retail units. The development is presented as a mixed residential block with limited commercial frontage at street level. The developer named in the announcement is Wasl.

Nearby projects recorded in public listings include the Al Hudaiba Building. Public records in the provided facts do not list additional developers, completion dates or construction stages for the neighbouring entry beyond the project name.

Local amenities and institutions

The immediate neighbourhood in Al Satwa combines residential streets, local shops and community services typical of an inner-city district. The project description references nearby schools and specialist centres by name: Dubai Autism Center is reported at approximately 0.8 km from the development and Ambassador School at about 1.8 km. These named institutions sit within the local catchment and can be reached quickly by short car or taxi ride.

Retail provision within the development itself is limited to the four retail shops noted in the project announcement; wider shopping, leisure and dining options are available a short drive away in Downtown, DIFC and along Sheikh Zayed Road.

Who this location suits

  • Professionals working in Downtown Dubai, DIFC or Business Bay who prioritise short commutes to central offices.
  • Families or households seeking a mix of apartments and townhouses within an established urban neighbourhood with local schools and community services nearby.
  • Tenants looking for ready-to-lease accommodation managed as part of a completed development.
  • Investors focused on leasable stock delivered by an established developer with immediate availability for tenancy marketing.

Practical information

Accessing the development by car is straightforward from central arterial roads. The nearest metro station is on the Red Line (R22) at roughly 2.1 km; plan for a short feeder trip when using the metro. Airport access to DXB is short by car and popular for occupiers who travel frequently. Local schools and specialist centres named in public listings are within a few kilometres.

Because this is a city-centre residential scheme, typical living considerations include proximity to workplaces, local retail and the character of Al Satwa’s streetscape rather than resort amenities. The on-site retail provision is small, so many daily shopping and leisure needs are met by nearby districts.
