Kingdom of Sheba

About the project

Kingdom of Sheba is a finished freehold mixed residential development on The Palm Crescent in Palm Jumeirah. Developed by IFA Hotel & Resorts, it comprises 398 units across villas and residential buildings containing townhouses and apartments. The project is ready to move in and reached 100% completion on 30 October 2019.

The project and its setting

Kingdom of Sheba occupies 141,500 square metres on The Crescent, Palm Jumeirah, adjacent to Atlantis. The development is arranged as 34 villas and three residential buildings that contain townhouses and apartments. The wider project includes apartments, townhouses, penthouses and villas, creating a range of home formats within one waterfront community. The villas are built as basement, ground and first-floor homes, while the residential buildings are configured as basement, ground and 12 upper floors. The buildings use a concrete structure with a cement-render exterior. The design draws on traditional Arab architecture, including the symmetry associated with Yemeni art forms, while the homes incorporate contemporary living spaces and outdoor areas.

Residences and accommodation types

The residence collection includes two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom apartments, as well as townhouses, four- and five-bedroom penthouses, and four- and five-bedroom villas. There are 34 sea-facing villas within the development. Villas and townhouses include private pools, landscaped gardens and enclosed three-car garages. Residences are designed with panoramic windows and balconies overlooking the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai landscape. The project’s homes are positioned within landscaped grounds along the curving breakwaters of Palm Jumeirah, with views across the Palm and the Gulf described for the development. Some residences have been offered furnished.

Leisure, wellness and on-site facilities

Kingdom of Sheba provides a private beach club, several swimming pools, a lap pool, a gym and a spa and health centre. The amenity offering also includes landscaped gardens, children’s play areas, shops, restaurants and cafés. Residents have access to meeting facilities, and covered parking is included among the project facilities. Concierge service and 24-hour security are also provided. Private pools form part of the villa and townhouse offering, alongside their landscaped gardens and enclosed garages. These facilities place dining, leisure, fitness and beach access within the development, while the residential setting remains on the Palm Crescent waterfront.
