Majan

Majan is in the south of Dubailand, in Wadi Al Safa 3. Its main road is Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), one of the main arterial roads across Dubailand, and it lies beside Al Barari, one of Dubai's best known low density green communities. The wider surroundings are a mix of villa communities, schools and open land that is gradually being developed.

There is no Metro station in Majan, so most residents drive, taxi or use buses. Because it is a new district, road links and bus routes are still evolving, and you should test the commute at the times you would actually travel before you commit to a home.

• Value apartments. Studios, one and two bedroom flats make up most of the sales, so it is one of the more affordable areas for new build apartments on this side of the city.
• Many developers in one area. Our off-plan page for Majan lists projects from 13 different developers, which gives a wide choice of building styles and payment plans.
• Large branded launches. Binghatti and Samana are among the names behind the highest volume projects recorded in the Land Department data.
• Being next to Al Barari. The neighbouring community brings a greener, quieter setting to the edge of the district.

Parks and open space

Because Majan sits beside Al Barari, which is built around gardens and landscaped waterways, there is more green space nearby than in a typical new apartment district. For larger parks across Dubai, see our best parks in Dubai guide, and for desert lakes and cycling the Al Qudra Lake guide.

Days out

Global Village is a seasonal cultural and entertainment park on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in Dubailand, so it is along the same corridor as Majan. It runs from October to the spring, and the dates for each season are on the Visit Dubai guide to Global Village.

Everyday shopping and dining

Many of the new buildings in Majan include ground floor retail, cafes and convenience stores, and the district is designed as mixed use, so daily needs are close. For a bigger shopping trip most residents drive to the larger malls elsewhere in the city.

Dunecrest American School, which follows a US curriculum, is next to Al Barari in the same part of Dubailand and is the school most often mentioned for families in Majan. Other schools in Dubailand and Al Barsha South are within a drive. Places, fees and inspection ratings change every year, so check the current KHDA ratings at khda.gov.ae before you choose a home around a school run.

From the live Dubai Land Department data on this page, as of November 2026: 4,213 homes were sold between 2 January and 26 October 2026, at a typical AED 1,421 per sq ft, and 83 percent were off-plan. The table below shows the number of sales and the typical (median) price by size.

Finished (ready) homes sold on typically changed hands for less than off-plan units, so compare like with like. The most traded finished buildings were Paradise View 1 (151 sales), The Haven (44), Tulip Oasis 10 (19), Celia Heights (19), Sherena Residence (18) and The 50 (18). The most bought off-plan projects were Binghatti Skyflame 1 (875 sales), Binghatti Vintage (640), Binghatti Skyflame 2 (455), Binghatti Titania (288) and Samana Barari Heights (267). The typical price per sq ft in October 2026 was about AED 1,405.

As of November 2026 our Majan off-plan page lists 17 projects from 13 developers, 16 of them apartment buildings and one a villa project. Names include Barari Palace, Rabdan Gates, The Haven 3 by Meraki, Lazord by Lapis, Forest City, Barari Heights and Al Barari Views 2 by Samana, Jade Tower, Estrella, Symphony by Chaimaa, Blossom 40, Amethyst, Bottega Nove and Samana Business Park. Celia Heights, an earlier project, is now among the most traded finished buildings.

With so many developers in one district, the developer's track record matters. Our developer check guide lists what to verify, and how off-plan payment plans work explains how stage payments are tied to construction. If a project is delayed, see off-plan handover delays and your rights.

Al Barari is a low density, villa led community known for its gardens and waterways, and you can read more on our Al Barari page. Majan is the denser neighbour: apartment blocks, mixed use buildings and many more homes per hectare. Buyers often look at the two together, and the practical difference is price, building height and how settled the surroundings feel. Another comparison is Dubai Silicon Oasis, which is an established apartment district with a more complete set of shops and services. Our how to compare two Dubai communities guide shows what to line up.

If you are weighing Majan against other new districts, the sold prices above and the live off-plan page are the best starting points, because they show what buyers actually paid building by building this year.

Majan's finished stock is relatively small compared with its off-plan pipeline, so rental choice is narrower than in older areas and grows as buildings are handed over. Studios and one bedrooms dominate. Ask for the annual rent and cheque schedule for the exact unit, and check the building has been handed over and has its services connected. Our properties to rent page shows what we hold now. The RERA rental index calculator guide helps you check a renewal.

Pros

• Lower entry prices for new apartments than most central areas.
• Modern buildings with pools and gyms.
• Next to Al Barari's green setting and close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
• A wide choice of developers, layouts and payment plans.

Cons

• The district is still under construction, with noise and dust in many streets.
• No Metro, and a longer trip to the main business districts than the coast.
• Traffic builds on the main roads at peak hours.
• Many buildings are not yet complete, so facilities around them may lag behind.

• Handover date and status. Many Majan buildings are still being built. Get the expected handover date in writing and check the project registration.
• Service charges. Ask for the current rate per sq ft and what it covers. See how to check service charges.
• The paperwork. Off-plan purchases are registered through Oqood, explained in our title deed and Oqood guide.
• Resale and rental demand for the specific building, using the sold prices above rather than an area average.
• Snagging. Inspect before you accept the keys. See snagging and handover in Dubai.
