The former Deira Islands, relaunched by Nakheel as a beachfront district north of the creek. Most projects are off-plan with 2027 to 2029 handovers. Prices are well below Palm and Harbour for comparable sea frontage, with the execution risk that comes with a new master plan.

What to check

  • Master plan infrastructure is still being built: bridges, retail, beach clubs.
  • Compare payment plans across developers; they vary widely.
  • Mid-market developers dominate: check track record and escrow.
