Overview

Mid-rise apartments and three-bedroom townhouses on the edge of the Emaar South golf course. Emaar listed 17 units on 13 November 2026, from AED 1,906,888, with handover targeted for late 2030.

Golf Trails is the newest building in Emaar South, the golf community that Emaar is building inside Dubai South, beside Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport. Emaar describes it as a mid-rise scheme facing the community's 18-hole course, close to the clubhouse and driving range. It mixes one- to three-bedroom apartments with three-bedroom townhouses.

Emaar lists it under its new launches. On 13 November 2026 its website showed 17 units available, with prices from AED 1,906,888 and sizes from 1,096 to 2,610 sq ft. The same page gives a launch starting price of AED 1.25 million, and Property Finder lists launch prices from AED 1.1 million for a one-bedroom apartment, AED 1.5 million for a two-bedroom, AED 2.8 million for a three-bedroom and AED 2.9 million for a townhouse. The gap between those launch figures and Emaar's current lowest price suggests the smaller, cheaper units have largely gone, so treat the launch prices as history rather than an offer.

Property Finder gives an expected booking date of September 2026 and a completion target of October 2030, which makes this one of the later handovers in Emaar South. The plan it lists is 10% on booking, 70% in seven instalments during construction and 20% on handover. That is the standard structure across Emaar's recent Emaar South phases; there is no post-handover element.

Shared facilities sit on the podium: adult and children's pools, a gym, a children's play area and a multi-purpose room, with the golf course, community centre and driving range in the wider community. Emaar gives Emaar South a total of 22,700 homes, 25 neighbourhood parks and 53,000 sq m of shops and restaurants when complete.

Who it suits: buyers who want a golf-course address in the south of the city at a lower entry price than Dubai Hills Estate, and investors who expect the Al Maktoum airport expansion to lift demand in this corridor. What to weigh: handover is four years away; Emaar keeps releasing similar buildings next door, including Golf Vale, Vista Ridge and Grove Ridge, so resale competition will be strong; and the area is car-dependent, with the nearest metro at Expo City.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Golf TrailsAED 1,906,888
DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 76,276
Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020
Estimated total to completeAED 1,984,184about £407K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
