Al Furjan — South Village

Al Furjan South Village is the southern residential cluster of the broader Al Furjan master community, developed primarily by Nakheel. It sits closer to Sheikh Zayed Road than the northern sections, giving it stronger highway access and proximity to the metro.

Location & connectivity

South Village connects directly to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and is within walking distance of Al Furjan Metro Station on the Red Line. Discovery Gardens is immediately adjacent, and DIFC is roughly a 20-min drive in off-peak conditions. Ibn Battuta Mall is a 10-min drive.

Property mix

South Village is dominated by mid-rise apartments and a smaller selection of townhouses, with most buildings four to seven storeys.

• •Apartments: Azizi Facilities buildings, Nakheel-delivered mid-rise blocks along Al Furjan Boulevard
• •Townhouses: Quortaj cluster (bordering South Village), Murooj cluster (southern fringe)
• •Villas: Limited — primarily found in the broader Al Furjan master plan rather than South Village itself

Schools

No schools sit within South Village itself. Nearby options include:

• •The Arbor School (Al Furjan, ~5-min drive) — nature-based British curriculum
• •Dove Green Private School (Al Furjan) — UK curriculum, primary and secondary
• •Gems World Academy (Al Khail, ~15-min drive) — IB curriculum
• •The Winchester School (Jebel Ali, ~15-min drive) — British curriculum

• •Mediclinic Ibn Battuta (attached to Ibn Battuta Mall, ~10-min drive)

Shopping & dining

Ibn Battuta Mall, one of Dubai's larger theme-based retail centres, is under 10 minutes away and covers most day-to-day and leisure shopping needs. Carrefour and a cluster of cafés and casual dining spots operate along Al Furjan Boulevard within the community. Discovery Gardens and The Pavilion at Al Furjan also offer neighbourhood-level F&B and supermarket options.

Parks & leisure

Al Furjan Club (accessible to residents) includes pools, a gym, and multi-sport courts within a short drive or cycle. Community cycling and jogging tracks run through the master plan, connecting South Village to the broader network. Jebel Ali Racecourse and golf facilities at Emirates Golf Club are roughly 20 minutes away.

Things to consider

South Village is inland — the nearest beach (JBR) is a 20–25-min drive, which matters for beach-lifestyle buyers. Construction activity within and adjacent to Al Furjan can be disruptive, and parking in denser apartment blocks can be tight during peak hours.
