Sobha Realty's Elwood villas sit here, beside its newer Sobha Sanctuary master community. Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | district | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Also known as | Dubai Land, Al Yufrah, Al Ain Road, Dubai-Al Ain Road | | Coordinates | 25.0208, 55.4503 | | Developments covered | 11 | ## Overview Dubailand is the broad inland district south-east of the city centre, crossed by Al Ain Road (E66) and Emirates Road. It contains many separate communities, several of which have their own pages on this site, including [The Valley](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/the-valley), [Villanova](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/villanova) and [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary). This page covers projects that sit in Dubailand but outside those named communities. The main one is Sobha Elwood, a villa development by [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) in Al Yufrah, on the Dubai to Al Ain road. Sobha describes a site of about 10 million sq ft, with more than 10,000 trees on 26% of the land and 47% given to open space and parks, and four- to six-bedroom villas. In November 2026 Sobha listed villas from about AED 11.64 million, and Property Finder gives completion as June 2028. The appeal is space: large new villas in landscaped, low-density communities, with direct access to Al Ain Road. Sobha's figures from Elwood are about five minutes to the Dubai Rugby Sevens ground, eight to Dubai Outlet Mall, 20 to Downtown Dubai, 25 to Dubai International Airport and 30 to Al Maktoum International Airport. The trade-off is that this is car-dependent territory still being built out. Schools, shops and healthcare in the newer Al Ain Road communities are largely planned rather than open, and several large master communities are delivering villas in the same years, so resale and rental competition among similar homes will be strong. ## Who it suits - Families wanting a large villa with a garden - Buyers who prefer green, low-density communities - Long-term owner-occupiers rather than short-term traders ## Highlights - Large villa plots in landscaped, low-density communities - Direct access to Al Ain Road (E66) - About 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai from Sobha Elwood (Sobha) - Sobha Elwood: more than 10,000 trees and 47% open space on a 10 million sq ft site (Sobha) ## Considerations - Car-dependent: all of Sobha's published journey times are by road - Schools, shops and healthcare in the newer communities are mostly still planned - Several master communities are handing over villas in the same years, which adds resale and rental competition - Service charges for heavily landscaped communities are not yet published; ask for the projected rate ## Drive times - Dubai Rugby Sevens ground: about 5 minutes - Dubai Outlet Mall: about 8 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 20 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 25 minutes - Al Maktoum International Airport: about 30 minutes ## Developments in Dubailand - [Laguna Residence](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/laguna-residence): One Development; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2027; from AED 700,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Azizi Milan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/azizi-milan): Azizi Developments; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2028; from AED 624,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Milan Heights](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/azizi-milan-heights): Azizi Developments; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2028; from AED 575,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Athlon](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/athlon): Aldar; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 13,582,780 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Belgravia Gardens](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/belgravia-gardens): Ellington Properties; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 1,300,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Verdes by Haven](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/verdes-by-haven): Aldar; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 2,344,823 (as of 2026-11-13) - [LEOS Royal](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/leos-royal): LEOS Developments; Dubailand, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2028; from AED 3,610,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [The Wilds](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/the-wilds): Aldar; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2029; from AED 38,599,605 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Arancia Yards](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/arancia-yards): Beyond Developments; Dubailand, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2029; from AED 1,100,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Rise by Athlon](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/rise-by-athlon): Aldar; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2029; from AED 1,703,363 (as of 2026-11-13) - [The Wilds Residences](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand/the-wilds-residences): Aldar; Dubailand, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2030; from AED 1,787,990 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary) - [The Valley by Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/the-valley) - [Villanova](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/villanova) - [Dubailand Residence Complex](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand-residence-complex) ## Questions and answers ### Where is Sobha Elwood?
