On the residential map it matters mainly because of Sobha One, a development by [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) on Ras Al Khor Road that Property Finder places in Ras Al Khor Industrial 1. Sobha's own FAQ describes the same project as part of Sobha Hartland in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, which shows how close it sits to [Sobha Hartland](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland) and [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2). Sobha One covers about 1.5 million sq ft. Sobha describes five interconnected towers of 30 to 65 storeys with one- to four-bedroom apartments and duplexes, four themed courtyards, a sky terrace and an 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf course. Two further projects sit within it: The Element at Sobha One, a newer apartment building, and Golf Ridges, 54 duplex homes facing the golf course. Property Finder lists Sobha One and Golf Ridges for completion at the end of 2026 and The Element for the end of 2029. Sobha quotes about five minutes to the wildlife sanctuary, 10 minutes to Meydan Racecourse and the Sobha Hartland schools, 12 minutes to Business Bay and Dubai International Airport, and 15 minutes to Dubai Mall and Downtown. It is a central position for the price: one-bedroom flats in Sobha One were listed from about AED 1.39 million in November 2026. The surroundings are the trade-off. Parts of Ras Al Khor remain industrial, and the residential setting depends on Sobha completing its own landscaping, retail and courtyards. Buyers should look at what lies between the towers and the main roads, not only at the views of the creek and the Downtown skyline. ## Who it suits - Investors wanting a central location below Downtown prices - Professionals commuting to Business Bay, Downtown or the airport - Golfers interested in the pitch-and-putt course and golf-facing duplexes - Buyers who want a near-complete building from Sobha ## Highlights - About 12 minutes by car to Business Bay and Dubai International Airport (Sobha) - 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf course inside Sobha One (Sobha) - Next to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary - Sobha One and Golf Ridges listed for completion at the end of 2026 (Property Finder) - Close to the schools and facilities of Sobha Hartland ## Considerations - Property Finder places the site in Ras Al Khor Industrial 1, and parts of the surroundings are still industrial - Sobha One's five towers and The Element add a large number of apartments in one place - Sources describe the location differently (Ras Al Khor on the listing, Sobha Hartland in Sobha's FAQ); check the title deed area - Sobha's usual plans leave about 40% due on completion; arrange finance early ## Drive times - Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary: about 5 minutes - Meydan Racecourse: about 10 minutes - Business Bay: about 12 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 12 minutes - Dubai Mall: about 15 minutes - Palm Jumeirah: about 25 minutes ## Developments in Ras Al Khor - [Golf Ridges at Sobha One](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/ras-al-khor/golf-ridges-at-sobha-one): Sobha Realty; Ras Al Khor, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2026; from AED 6,700,000 (as of 2026-11-12) - [The Element at Sobha One](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/ras-al-khor/the-element-at-sobha-one): Sobha Realty; Ras Al Khor, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2029; from AED 1,830,000 (as of 2026-11-12) ## Nearby areas - [Sobha Hartland](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland) - [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2) - [Meydan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan) - [Al Jaddaf](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf) - [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour) ## Questions and answers ### What is being built in Ras Al Khor?
