Al Jaddaf Apartments for Rent

Al Jaddaf apartments for rent sit on the Dubai Creek, a few minutes from Downtown and DIFC by metro, which makes this one of the few genuinely central districts where rents still sit in the high five figures. This guide covers where Al Jaddaf is, what was on our books in October 2026, and what an apartment here actually costs.

Where is Al Jaddaf?

Al Jaddaf sits on the Dubai Creek between Bur Dubai and Dubai Healthcare City, with Dubai Festival City directly across the water. It has its own stop on the metro Green Line, and a drive to Downtown takes around ten to fifteen minutes off peak. The area is still being built out, so newer towers sit alongside older industrial plots left over from its history as a dry dock and boatyard district. Our full area guide to Al Jaddaf covers the neighbourhood in more detail.

Who is Al Jaddaf right for?

It suits people who commute into Bur Dubai, Dubai Healthcare City, DIFC or Downtown and would rather spend the saving on space than on a view. Rental demand comes largely from hospital and clinic staff, hotel staff, and professionals who want a short metro ride to work. It suits families less well, since schools and parks are thinner here than in the master communities. If you are looking to buy instead of rent, see apartments for sale in Al Jaddaf.
