Overview

Fully furnished one- to three-bedroom apartments in Tower A of Canalside, a Marina Residences cluster on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, from AED 1.36 million, due December 2029.

Canalside Marina Residences is one of the apartment clusters Sobha Realty is selling around the marina on Siniya Island, Umm Al Quwain. Sobha places it on the canal that leads out to the sea, close to the footbridge into the main Marina Residences, and is currently selling Tower A. The apartments are sold fully furnished.

Sobha publishes nine layouts. Four one-bedroom types run from 510 to 662 sq ft; the larger ones swap the balcony for a terrace or a garden-level yard of about 150 sq ft. The four two-bedroom types range from 652 to 1,022 sq ft, and there is a single three-bedroom layout of 2,174 sq ft, of which 874 sq ft is terrace. Note that the smallest two-bedroom is barely larger than the biggest one-bedroom, so compare plans rather than bedroom counts.

On 12 November 2026 Sobha's website listed Canalside from AED 1.36 million up to AED 6.39 million, subject to availability. Property Finder, which shows stock as available, lists one-bedroom apartments from AED 1,337,604, two-bedroom from AED 1,697,641 and the three-bedroom from AED 6,194,636. Property Finder's one-bedroom figure is slightly below Sobha's current price; we use the developer's.

The payment plan on Property Finder is 20% on booking, then four instalments of 10% at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months from booking, and 40% on handover. That front-loads the construction payments into the first two years. Property Finder records construction from August 2025 and completion at the end of December 2029. Sobha's page does not give a date.

Canalside suits a buyer who wants a furnished apartment that can be let from completion, at one of the lower entry prices on the island. The amenities Sobha lists include facilities in the island master plan, such as the golf course, yacht club and mall, which are not yet built. Sobha gives 10 minutes to Al Marjan Island, 30 to Sharjah and 50 to Dubai. Weigh the volume of competing Sobha apartments due on the island over 2028 to 2030.

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 Umm Al Quwain the registration authority is the UAQ Urban Planning.

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. Registration fees in Umm Al Quwain are quoted inconsistently by official and market sources, so treat this as indicative. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.

Sobha Realty profile and track record

Adviser's view

What works

Sold fully furnished, which suits buyers planning to let after completion.
Entry price from AED 1.36 million for a one-bedroom apartment.
Detailed floor plans with suite, balcony, terrace and yard areas shown separately.
Some ground-level one-bedroom layouts have private yards of about 150 sq ft.

What to weigh

The instalment schedule asks for 60% within two years of booking, well before the December 2029 completion.
The single three-bedroom costs about AED 6.2 million, roughly AED 2,850 per sq ft including its terrace, against about AED 2,050 to 2,650 for a one-bedroom.
Many Sobha apartment clusters on the island are on sale at once, so resale and rental competition will be strong.
The golf course, yacht club and mall listed as amenities are master-plan facilities still to be built.
Umm Al Quwain's off-plan, escrow and registration rules could not be verified from an official source. Ask Sobha for the escrow account and registration details in writing.
