Things to do in Dubailand  •  Best communities in Dubailand  •  Best Schools in Dubailand

Dubailand, developed by the renowned Dubai Properties Group, is an enormous development that has become one of the most popular areas to live in Dubai.


It was initially proposed as a vast 2-billion-square-foot plan encompassing commercial, residential, and entertainment units, but faced challenges due to the global recession of 2007 - 2008.


However, Dubai Land now covers an area of 3 million square feet teeming with various communities like Villanova, Remraam, Living Legends, FalconCity of Wonders, Dubailand Oasis, Layan, Majan, and many more.


Dubai Land is located on the outskirts of Dubai, just off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). It neighbors Dubai Silicon Oasis and International City.


This ambitious project houses amenities from theme parks and hotels to diverse residential developments, making it one of the most popular areas in Dubai, especially for its affordable prices.

A Closer Look at the Dubai Land Area

Tatweer launched Dubai Land back in October 2003. The initial plan included six themed worlds in residential communities and attractions. However, Dubai Properties Group took over the project and split it into individual communities.


Some of these communities were supposed to be a part of the Dubai Land area but have become independent projects, such as Arabian Ranches, Mudon, and Motor City.


As many subcommunities and buildings are in different stages of development and maturity, there are many new projects in Dubai Land, making it a hotspot for investors and aspiring homeowners. As per Property Finder’s data, It’s among the cheapest areas to buy a villa in Dubai.


The massive project contains many developments such as malls, theme parks, and residential communities, making it both a popular tourist destination and residential area. The Dubai Land area is popular among renters and buyers thanks to its reasonable prices.
