About the area

Arabian Ranches 3 is a suburban gated community within the DubaiLand area, positioned between Emirates Road and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street. Launched by Emaar, the neighbourhood is planned around pedestrian routes, a prominent central park and low-rise townhouse clusters. The first released phase, Sun, forms the initial residential core with family townhouses.

What this place is and where it sits

Arabian Ranches 3 occupies a location in Wadi Al Safa 5 within the broader DubaiLand district. The masterplan emphasises walkability, with walking trails and a four-kilometre boulevard linking residential pockets to parks and the central green area. The development is residential in character, focused on three- and four-bedroom townhouses in its initial neighbourhoods.

Community features include a 7.5-acre central park with a central plaza, lawns, adventure zones, a parkour course, a skate park, barbecue areas, a gymnasium, jogging tracks and a cricket pitch. Smaller neighbourhood parks with children’s playgrounds are distributed around the residential clusters. A mosque is planned, while schools and healthcare facilities are available in the surrounding urban area.

Actual transaction prices in Arabian Ranches 3, since 2025

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.

1 675registered transactions
16 685AED per m², median

The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change.

How the price per square metre changed by year

From 2022 to 2025 — +36% on the price per square metre across 12 buildings that traded in both years.

For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +52%. The gap between the two figures is not existing homes appreciating — it is newer, more expensive buildings entering the market. Returns on a purchase follow the first figure.

Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 8 years, from 2019.

* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.

All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
