Where Arjan is, what homes sell and rent for, schools, hospitals, the Miracle Garden, transport and the towers still to come: the facts, with their sources.
Where is Arjan?
Between the Miracle Garden and Dubai Hills.
Arjan is a freehold residential community in Dubailand, registered by the Dubai Land Department in Al Barsha South 3. It sits at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Street (D63), north of Motor City, with Dubai Science Park to the north and the Dubai Miracle Garden on its eastern edge.
Launched by Dubai Properties in 2006, paused after 2010 and revived in the past decade, Arjan is now a district of low- and mid-rise apartment buildings, most between five and twenty storeys: studios to three-bedroom homes, with a few duplexes and penthouses.

Prices & Rents · 12 months to September 2026
What homes in Arjan really sell and rent for.
Registered figures, not listings: sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department and new leases registered on Ejari over the last twelve months. Asking prices on portals run a little differently; both are shown.
| Home | Average sale price | Per sq ft | Average new lease | Gross yield* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 711,665 | AED 1,685 | AED 48,234 / yr | 6.8% |
| 1 bedroom | AED 1,161,971 | AED 1,507 | AED 71,489 / yr | 6.2% |
| 2 bedrooms | AED 1,677,647 | AED 1,367 | AED 111,484 / yr | 6.6% |
| 3 bedrooms | AED 2,364,835 | AED 1,303 | AED 152,500 / yr | 6.4% |
Arjan remains one of the more affordable new-build districts inside the E311: prices per square foot rose about 15% in a year, while registered rents held steady, and two-bedroom rents rose about 9%. Portal listings put the asking price near AED 1,517 per sq ft and asking rents at about AED 53,000 for a studio, 79,000 for a one-bedroom and 116,000 for a two-bedroom.
* Gross yield = average new-lease rent ÷ average sale price, before service charges (typically AED 10–16 per sq ft a year in Arjan; check the RERA service-charge index for each building), vacancy and fees. Sources: DLD sales and Ejari leases as published by Property Finder, read 29 September 2026; Bayut H1 2026 sales and rental reports (asking prices), 22 September 2026. Indicative only, no yield or growth is guaranteed.

Frequently Asked
Arjan, answered.
Arjan is part of Dubailand. The Dubai Land Department registers it in Al Barsha South 3, at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Street, next to Motor City, Dubai Science Park and the Miracle Garden.
For many residents, yes: new buildings, parking, schools and two hospitals nearby, at mid-market prices. The trade-offs are the lack of a metro before 2032, peak-hour traffic and ongoing construction in parts of the community.
Mall of the Emirates and Mashreq stations on the Red Line, about fifteen minutes by car, with a feeder bus to Mall of the Emirates. The Gold Line, approved in April 2026, will run through Al Barsha South and is due to open on 9 September 2032.
Yes. Foreign buyers can own apartments in Arjan outright, and sales are registered with the Dubai Land Department.
Over the twelve months to September 2026, registered sales averaged about AED 712,000 for a studio, AED 1.16M for a one-bedroom and AED 1.68M for a two-bedroom, or about AED 1,565 per sq ft overall.
New leases registered on Ejari averaged about AED 48,000 a year for a studio, AED 71,000 for a one-bedroom and AED 111,000 for a two-bedroom over the last twelve months. Ask for current apartments to rent.
The master developer is Dubai Properties, part of Dubai Holding, which launched Arjan in 2006. Individual buildings are by private developers such as Samana, Vincitore, Danube, Marquis, Binghatti and Ellington. The community is managed by Dubai Holding Community Management.
Season 15 of the Dubai Miracle Garden opens on 8 October 2026 and runs through the cooler months. UAE residents pay AED 70 per adult and AED 50 per child, excluding VAT.
Most streets are residential and calm. Noise comes from construction sites in the developing parts of Arjan and, on race days, from the Dubai Autodrome for buildings closest to Motor City.
