What is Al Jaddaf like?

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.

Who should buy in Al Jaddaf?

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.

What does it cost to buy in Al Jaddaf?

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.

ItemAmountPaid by
DLD transfer fee4% of priceBuyer in practice

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.

Can you buy a rented apartment in Al Jaddaf?

Yes. Some listings are sold with a tenant in place. The tenant stays until the contract ends, and the buyer takes over the lease. This can give income from day one, but you cannot move in until the contract ends or notice is lawfully served. Ask for the tenancy contract, the Ejari record and the rent paid. Our guide to buying a Dubai property with a tenant in it lists the steps. To see how the area rents, see apartments for rent in Al Jaddaf.

How do you buy an apartment in Al Jaddaf?

  1. Set a budget that includes the 6 to 7% buying costs.
  2. Shortlist two or three buildings and view them on the same day.
  3. Agree the price and sign the memorandum of sale (Form F) with a deposit.
  4. Get the developer NOC and check service charges.
  5. Complete the transfer at a trustee office and receive the title deed. See title deeds and Oqood.

What should you check before you offer?

  • The view. Creek and skyline views sit on one side of a tower, road and construction on another.
  • The service charge per square foot, and whether cooling is billed separately.
  • The walk to the metro in summer heat.
  • Whether the building is residential or a hotel apartment block, since the two behave differently as investments.
  • Parking, especially for two bedroom units.
