Al Barari

Al Barari is a self-contained, low-density residential community in Dubailand, developed by Imtiaz Developments. It is defined by an unusually high ratio of green space to built area — roughly 60% of the land is landscaped with themed gardens, waterways, and forest trails.

Location & connectivity

Al Barari sits off Al Barari Avenue (connecting to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road / E311), placing it about a 25-min drive to DIFC and 20 mins to Dubai Mall. There is no metro access; residents are car-dependent. Dubai International Airport is approximately 30 mins away under normal traffic.

Property mix

The community is almost exclusively villas and mansions, with one boutique apartment development. Plots are generous and homes are bespoke or semi-custom.

• •Villas: The Residences (signature collection), Seventh Heaven Villas
• •Apartments: Seventh Heaven (low-rise, garden-facing units)
• •Mansions: Custom-built plots within the broader masterplan

Shopping & dining

Day-to-day retail is limited within the community; residents typically drive to Arabian Ranches community centre (~10 mins) or Dubai Hills Mall (~15 mins) for hypermarkets and general shopping. Within Al Barari, The Farm restaurant is the anchor dining destination — a well-regarded organic café set among the gardens. A small wellness-focused retail strip supports the resident population.

Parks & leisure

Al Barari's defining feature is its network of themed botanical gardens, jogging and cycling trails, and freshwater streams — walkable from most villas. The Body Factory gym and spa is located on-site, offering a full fitness and wellness offering. Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club in Arabian Ranches is approximately 10 mins away.

Nearby areas

• •Majan / Dubailand Residential Complex (adjacent)

Things to consider

Al Barari is genuinely car-dependent with no public transport links, so it works best for households with multiple vehicles. Entry price points for villas are among the highest in Dubailand, and the community's quiet, secluded character means it suits buyers prioritising privacy and greenery over urban proximity.
