What each area is like
Rashid Yachts & Marina
Emaar's marina community at the old Port Rashid, between Bur Dubai and the Gulf. Low- and mid-rise apartments around a superyacht marina, with the QE2 moored alongside.
Who it suits
- Buyers who want marina and sea views near old Dubai
- Boat owners
- Investors comfortable with a long build-out
- Second-home buyers who prefer low-rise to high-rise
In its favour
- Marina with 400 wet berths and capacity for yachts up to 100 metres (Emaar)
- Low- and mid-rise buildings, so more homes keep an open view
- Emaar as single master developer
Worth weighing
- Long build-out: Fior 1 is not due until July 2030, and construction will continue around completed buildings until then
- No metro station in the community; Bayut's guide puts the nearest Green Line stations about 10 minutes away
Tilal Al Ghaf
Majid Al Futtaim's lagoon-centred villa community off Hessa Street, near Dubai Sports City. Largely sold through, so most buying today is resale.
Who it suits
- Families wanting villas with a school on site
- Buyers who value a finished master plan
- Resale purchasers of completed homes
- High-budget buyers of waterfront mansions
In its favour
- Planned for more than 6,500 freehold homes around a 70,000 sq m swimmable lagoon
- 18 km of walking trails and 11 km of cycling track, according to the developer
- The Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai operates inside the community
Worth weighing
- No developer stock was listed on Property Finder on 12 November 2026: purchases are resale, with resale pricing and the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee payable in full
- Later phases (Plagette 32, Amara, Serenity Mansions, Bo Monde) are still under construction, so parts of the site will see building work for some time
