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 Full guide: [Tilal Al Ghaf](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/tilal-al-ghaf) ## Questions and answers ### Is Rashid Yachts & Marina or Tilal Al Ghaf cheaper per square foot?
