Majan is a district of Dubai, 10 listings available with us.
Majan is a large mixed‑use community in the DubaiLand master area, located within Wadi Al Safa 3. Launched in November 2006 by Mizin (Tatweer’s development arm), the scheme was conceived as a high‑density ensemble covering approximately 16.5 million square feet and marketed as the “Downtown of DubaiLand.” The original master plan, prepared by Halcrow, envisaged a Manhattan‑style skyline composed of about 150 towers and a three‑part split of land use: residential, commercial and retail/entertainment. Initial infrastructure for Phase 1 — roads and basic services — was completed in mid‑2007 and the area subsequently opened to investors and plot developers. Since then Majan has evolved more gradually than originally planned: a number of projects were completed, others stalled or were revised, and the masterplan has been adapted to allow smaller plot developments.
Majan sits inside the wider DubaiLand precinct, administratively part of Dubai and geographically in the Wadi Al Safa 3 pocket of the city. The community was laid out as a mixed‑use district with a significant portion of land reserved for retail and entertainment uses alongside residential and commercial plots. The site occupies a strategic position within DubaiLand and is visible from surrounding arterial roads; two taller towers in the vicinity—Safa Tower and Al Rabia Tower—stand out above the otherwise mid‑rise local profile. Coordinates: 25.091482, 55.317071.
Majan is not directly served by a metro station. The nearest Dubai Metro Red Line station on record is identified as code R29, at a distance of 11,422 metres, which is not pedestrian‑friendly for daily commuting. Road connectivity is the primary means of access and enables reasonable drives to a number of Dubai destinations. Approximate road distances to key points:
These distances reflect typical road kilometres from the community centroid and place Majan within a medium‑distance driving radius of central Dubai employment and leisure areas while being immediately adjacent to DubaiLand attractions such as Global Village.
The original Majan masterplan set out three main land‑use components: roughly one third residential, a quarter commercial and the remainder for retail and entertainment. The developer anticipated substantial investment in the early years and a concentrated construction programme; however, the global financial downturn and market conditions resulted in a slower, phased delivery. By late 2009 a number of plots had started construction and, by 2020, the on‑site stock comprised around 28 completed buildings with approximately 25 additional structures at varying stages of construction, modification or pause.
Early infrastructure works were undertaken by Khansaheb Civil Engineering and completed in 2007, enabling plot handovers to property developers. Some large proposals announced in the first wave, including a high‑profile hotel and a major commercial podium with an extensive LED façade, did not progress to delivery. Subsequently the masterplan was adjusted to accommodate smaller‑scale developments and a more incremental pattern of growth.
Majan hosts a number of active and completed projects by different developers. Below are selected projects located on site, with links to their project pages:

Other named buildings in the surrounding area appear in planning and record sources under various stages of activity, reflecting the mixed pace of delivery across the wider DubaiLand district.
Majan includes smaller neighbourhoods and sub‑districts. One identified sub‑area with a published project page is:
Majan is suitable for a range of buyers and occupiers who value a mixed‑use urban setting away from Dubai’s most densely built central clusters. Typical profiles include:
The community’s mixed character — a combination of completed buildings and active construction plots — makes it more suitable for buyers comfortable with gradual neighbourhood change rather than a fully stabilized suburban enclave.
