Mirdif is a district of Dubai, 3.1 km from Centrepoint Metro Station.
Mirdif is a predominantly residential district in north-east Dubai, located close to Dubai International Airport and framed by green spaces to the east. The area developed as a family-oriented suburb composed mainly of villas and low-rise apartments, with several gated communities and local shopping and leisure facilities serving residents.
Mirdif lies roughly 10 km from Deira City Centre on the north-eastern side of Dubai. It borders Al Mizhar to the north and Al Warqa to the south, while Al Mushrif public park sits on Mirdif’s eastern flank. The district combines standalone, privately owned villas with planned gated communities and low-rise apartment clusters. The local population includes Emiratis as well as expatriate families from Europe, South Asia and the Arab region.
Mirdif is accessible by car from the main arterial roads, including Emirates Road and Al Awir Road. Rashidiya Metro station on the Red Line (station code R11) is the closest metro stop, approximately 3,140 metres away, making it impractical to reach on foot for most residents.
Distances from central points in Dubai include:
Dubai Mall is typically around 20–25 minutes away by car, while Dubai International Airport can be reached in roughly 20 minutes. Coastal destinations such as Dubai Marina and JBR are generally 30–40 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Mirdif’s housing stock is dominated by villas and low-rise apartment buildings. Several gated communities and purpose-built neighbourhoods define the district’s residential character:
Local retail and leisure are anchored by Mirdif City Centre, which opened in March 2010 and houses more than 400 shops with extensive parking. The mall offers a family entertainment zone, indoor skydiving, cinemas including IMAX, gyms and food courts. Uptown Mirdif also has an open-air shopping precinct with leisure facilities and a gym.
Mirdif is principally suited to families and residents who prioritise villa accommodation or low-rise apartment living outside Dubai’s central business districts. Its mix of gated communities and standalone villas appeals to households seeking larger homes, private gardens or community-managed facilities. Proximity to Dubai International Airport and major arterial roads makes Mirdif practical for commuters working in Deira, Business Bay and parts of central Dubai, while keeping leisure and beachfront destinations within daily driving distance.
Local amenities and green space, including the large Mushrif Park on the district’s eastern side, support outdoor activities and family recreation. Schools and nurseries in and around the district serve the resident community.

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.
The yield is calculated across the whole district rather than the buildings on this page: there are still too few rental contracts for them, as the buildings are under construction or only recently handed over. Both rent and price in this ratio are district figures for the same 12 months.
