Al Furjan is a residential community between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, near Discovery Gardens and Ibn Battuta Mall. It mixes villas and townhouses with a growing number of apartment buildings.

What Al Furjan is like

  • Villa and townhouse streets with a quiet, family feel
  • Newer apartment buildings, many with pools and gyms
  • Local shops, cafés and community retail centres
  • Still growing, so some areas have construction

    • Getting around

  • Dubai Metro (Red Line, Route 2020 branch) has stations close to the community
  • Quick road access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road
  • Ibn Battuta Mall and Jebel Ali are a short drive away

    • Who Al Furjan suits

  • Families who want a villa or townhouse
  • People working in Jebel Ali, Dubai Investment Park or Expo City
  • Renters who want a newer apartment with Metro access nearby

    • Before you rent in Al Furjan

  • Distance to the Metro from the exact building or villa
  • Construction nearby — ask what is being built next door
  • For villas: who looks after garden, pool and AC servicing
  • Cooling — chiller-free or not ([what this means](/blog/chiller-free-vs-district-cooling-dubai))
  • Use our [property viewing checklist](/blog/property-viewing-checklist-dubai)

    • Browse [homes for rent](/rent) or tell us your budget on WhatsApp. Comparing with JVC? Read [living in JVC](/blog/living-in-jvc-guide).
