Al Furjan

Al Furjan, meaning "a collection of houses" or "small village," is a premier master-planned residential development by Nakheel. Strategically located in the heart of "New Dubai," it has quickly transformed into one of the city’s most sought-after addresses for families and investors alike. Spanning over 560 hectares, the area is meticulously designed to foster a sense of belonging and traditional hospitality while offering every modern convenience. Since the expansion of the Dubai Metro Route 2020, Al Furjan has become a major connectivity hub, linking the quiet suburban life with the high-energy districts of Dubai Marina and the futuristic Expo City. The neighborhood is celebrated for its distinctive architectural styles, ranging from Mediterranean-inspired Quortaj villas to the sleek, local "Dubai" style homes. Whether you are looking for a spacious garden home or a trendy contemporary apartment, Al Furjan offers a balanced lifestyle where urban accessibility meets serene residential comfort.

The community of Al Furjan is built on the philosophy of social interaction and active living. It is a highly diverse neighborhood, home to a global mix of expatriates and local Emiratis who value a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment. The layout features extensive landscaped paths and "linkers" that connect the residential clusters to community centers, making it easy for residents to walk or cycle to local shops. Two main community hubs, Al Furjan Pavilion and Al Furjan West Pavilion, serve as the social heart of the district, offering everything from supermarkets to medical clinics. The community vibe is distinctly family-oriented, with children's play areas, outdoor sports courts, and the popular Al Furjan Club House, which hosts fitness classes and community events. As of 2026, the area has matured into a fully integrated ecosystem, where the spirit of a traditional village is reimagined for the modern era, providing a peaceful escape from the city’s skyscrapers without sacrificing the perks of metropolitan living.
