Apartments for sale in Al Jaddaf are among the more affordable central options in Dubai. Prices vary a lot by building, from older towers to new branded ones. This guide covers what you get, which buildings to look at, what buying costs and how to check a flat before you offer.
Asking prices are wide here because the area mixes older towers with new branded ones, so the live listings above this guide are the best guide to current prices. Compare homes inside one building, and compare price per square foot between buildings, because the building matters more than the area label.

Al Jaddaf sits on Dubai Creek between Bur Dubai and Dubai Healthcare City, opposite Dubai Festival City. It has its own Dubai Metro station on the Green Line and is a short drive from Downtown and the airport. It was once a dhow building district and the Dubai Ship Docking Yard is still there, so new towers sit beside older industrial plots. It is not a finished neighbourhood. Day to day shopping comes from supermarkets in the towers rather than a large mall. Read our Al Jaddaf area guide and the Al Jaddaf community page for more.
| Building or project | Developer | What stands out |

Al Jaddaf suits three buyers. Professionals who work in Healthcare City, Bur Dubai, DIFC or Downtown and want a metro ride instead of a long drive. Investors who buy to rent to hospital, hotel and office staff. And buyers who want a central creek address at a lower price than most Downtown towers. It suits families who need a garden or a school inside the community less well. For that, compare apartments for sale in Business Bay, which has many more towers and a canal.
Add buying costs to the price. Our guide to Dubai Land Department fees in 2026 shows a ready resale flat bought in cash costs roughly 6 to 7% more than the price, made up of these items.
| Item | Amount | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| DLD transfer fee | 4% of price | Buyer in practice |
| Trustee office fee | AED 4,200 including VAT (price AED 500,000 or more) | Buyer |
| Title deed issuance | About AED 500 in total | Buyer |
| Agency commission, resale | 2% plus VAT | Buyer |
| Developer NOC | AED 500 to 5,000 | Seller, usually |
| Mortgage registration | 0.25% of the loan plus about AED 290 | Buyer, if borrowing |
The 4% is set by the Dubai Land Department, and the sale contract decides who pays it. See the DLD frequently asked questions. If you need finance, read Dubai mortgage rates for expats.
