About the area

City Of Arabia is a master-planned community within DubaiLand, located in Wadi Al Safa 4. The original scheme was ambitious but was heavily affected by the 2008 global financial crisis; as a result, only a small portion of the original masterplan has been completed and a number of sub-components were started and later put on hold. The area remains distinctive on Dubai’s map for its landmark attractions and location close to Global Village and major road corridors.

What and where

City Of Arabia sits in DubaiLand, in the Wadi Al Safa 4 area. The community occupies a large site originally planned for mixed-use buildings, themed retail and entertainment facilities. Key completed elements include IMG Worlds of Adventure, GEMS Heritage School and an ENOC petrol station, while Wadi Tower is nearing completion. The area has recorded 50 sale transactions.

Actual transaction prices in City Of Arabia, 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.

2 971registered transactions
18 025AED per m², median
15buildings with sales
+3%over the past year, across 8 buildings

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. The median across the whole district moved +10% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.

Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 3 years, from 2024.

* 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.
