About City of Arabia

City of Arabia is a large-scale master-planned district in Dubailand, positioned along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in the heart of new Dubai. It's designed for residents who want space, greenery, and genuine community infrastructure without paying prime-district prices. Our honest take: this is one of the more ambitious mid-market master-plans in the emirate, and it's finally hitting its stride. With eight active projects across our catalogue — from Azizi's Milan series to GFH's California Village — the supply pipeline here is real, not theoretical. Buyers who move early on a district like this tend to look back and wonder why they hesitated.

Frequently asked questions about City of Arabia

Is City of Arabia a freehold community?
City of Arabia is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in City of Arabia?
Yes. City of Arabia sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in City of Arabia?
Most off-plan projects in City of Arabia offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in City of Arabia?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing.
