Our verdict on City of Arabia
City of Arabia is one of the cheapest ways to own freehold property in Dubai. You live next to IMG Worlds of Adventure, near Global Village, with E311 taking you to central Dubai in about 30 minutes.
The risk is real. Most of the big plan, including Mall of Arabia, has been on hold since 2008, with no restart date. There is no metro and few services nearby. It suits buyers with a small to mid budget (AED 450,000 to 1.5 million) and a long time horizon. It is not a mature community.
Suits you if
Budget buyers who want Dubai freehold from AED 450,000
Families who want to live next to IMG Worlds and near Global Village
Long-term investors betting on the masterplan moving ahead
NRI buyers who want Dubai freehold under AED 1 million
Off-plan buyers happy with a 2028 handover at MAG 330
Look elsewhere if

People who need a metro to commute
Investors who want to resell quickly
Buyers who count on Mall of Arabia being built
Buyers who want a fully planned, finished community
