Al Faqa, Dubai
About Al Faqa
A quiet agricultural and residential settlement in Dubai's far eastern hinterland, Al Faqa sits near the UAE's interior border and appeals to buyers seeking large land plots at accessible price points.
[VERIFY: limited information available]
Al Faqa is a low-density settlement located in the eastern reaches of Dubai emirate, close to the border with Fujairah and the Hajar Mountain foothills. It is primarily known for date palm farms, open land, and a modest residential presence rather than a planned master community.
Location & connectivity
Al Faqa sits along the Dubai–Hatta Road (D44), connecting it eastward toward Hatta and westward toward Dubai's urban core. The drive to central Dubai is approximately 90 minutes, and the Hatta border area is reachable in around 30–40 minutes. There is no metro access; a private vehicle is essential here.
Property mix
The area is dominated by agricultural land and standalone villas rather than master-planned clusters. Specific sub-community or building names are not publicly documented at this time.
- •Villas: Standalone residential villas on larger plots
- •Land: Agricultural and residential land plots
Schools
There are no known schools within Al Faqa itself. The nearest schooling options are likely in Hatta or further toward Dubai's urban areas — exact options and drive times should be verified locally.
Healthcare
There are no known hospitals or clinics within Al Faqa. The Hatta Hospital (government) is the closest known facility, approximately 30–40 minutes away by car.
- •Hatta Hospital: ~30–40-min drive
Shopping & dining
Al Faqa has no known retail malls or restaurant clusters. Basic supplies would require a drive toward Hatta town, where limited grocery and dining options exist. Residents planning to live here should be prepared for a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Parks & leisure
The surrounding landscape — desert terrain, mountain foothills, and date farms — provides a natural, open setting. The Hatta area offers Hatta Dam, mountain biking trails, and kayaking, roughly 30–40 minutes away. Urban leisure options require the longer drive back toward Dubai city.

Things to consider
