Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 is a district of Dubai, 1.5 km from Ibn Battuta Metro Station.
Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 is a comprehensive redevelopment of one of Dubai’s earliest expatriate communities. The project replaces the original low-rise housing stock with a new gated hillside neighbourhood composed of generous, open-plan villas and associated infrastructure. The development is part of a wider masterplan that reorganises the former village into four distinct residential communities with shared leisure and sports facilities.
Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 occupies the footprint of the historic Jebel Ali Village, a settlement established in 1977. The new masterplan is being delivered by Nakheel and envisages a low-density, family-oriented precinct made up of single-row villas so gardens are not directly overlooked by neighbours. The overall scheme comprises four separate communities linked by landscaped parks, ponds and a network of bike trails.
Key contextual points drawn from the masterplan and project releases:
Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 is served by Dubai Metro’s Red Line; the nearest station in the Red Line system is identified with code R39 and stands approximately 1,533 metres from the development perimeter. That distance is recorded as non-walkable in the project summary.
Approximate driving times from Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 to major Dubai locations (as reported):
These estimates are presented by the project material as approximate drive times and are useful for planning; actual travel times will vary with traffic conditions and chosen route.
The new Phase 1 villas are described in the masterplan as spacious open-plan homes with internal areas in the range of 4,200 to 6,000 square feet. Plot areas referenced in the project documentation indicate approximately 6,900 square feet for a four-bedroom villa and about 7,600 square feet for a five-bedroom villa. All houses occupy a single-row position, intended to avoid direct overlooking between private gardens.
The masterplan documents and initial concept imagery have been published to illustrate the intended layout and appearance. As with many large regeneration projects, designs and specifications can be subject to revision during delivery.
The Phase 1 site is reported to sit close to established retail and leisure nodes. The project text highlights proximity to Ibn Battuta Mall and Festival Plaza Mall. Religious and community facilities, including mosques, churches and temples, are noted as being nearby.
Education within immediate reach is referenced in the project material: Ghaf Private School at approximately 0.5 km and Delhi Private School Dubai at approximately 0.9 km from the Phase 1 boundary.
Local commercial activity tied to the former village is part of the community’s social fabric; press coverage quoted at the time of the redevelopment launch described concerns among small business owners and long-standing residents about relocation and changes to footfall.
Jebel Ali Village Phase 1 is positioned as a low-density, family-focused residential address. Its primary appeal is to buyers seeking large, detached villas with private gardens, garage parking and a neighbourhood layout that prioritises privacy and outdoor amenity. Typical user groups described in the project material include:
The redevelopment context means that both end-users and investors are likely to consider timing, phasing and the broader re-housing and compensation arrangements that have been described by the developer and reported in media coverage.
According to the Dubai Land Department open data referenced in the project material, there are 50 sale transaction records available for Jebel Ali Village Phase 1. The project literature notes that transaction data is published on working days and that interested parties can consult the government’s public registers for more detail.
