Al Khawaneej 2

Al Khawaneej 2 is the eastern sub-district of Al Khawaneej, a predominantly villa-based neighbourhood sitting on the edge of Dubai's urban boundary near the Sharjah border. It is quiet, spacious, and geared entirely toward owner-occupier families who prioritise plot size and privacy over walkability.

Location & connectivity

The community sits off Al Khawaneej Road (D68) and connects to Emirates Road (E611) within a few minutes, giving relatively direct access to key city destinations. Dubai International Airport is roughly a 15-min drive; DIFC and Downtown Dubai are around 30–35 min depending on traffic. There is no metro access nearby — a car is essential for daily life here.

Property mix

Al Khawaneej 2 is almost exclusively detached villas on private plots; there are no apartment buildings or gated cluster developments of note.

• •Villas: Standalone Arabic-style and contemporary villas, most with private gardens and parking, sitting on plots typically ranging from 5,000 to 15,000+ sq ft
• •Land: Undeveloped residential plots are available for custom builds

Schools

There are no international schools within Al Khawaneej 2 itself. Nearby options include:

• •Pristine Private School – Al Khawaneej, approx. 5-min drive (UAE MOE curriculum)
• •GEMS Royal Dubai School – Mirdif, approx. 15-min drive (British curriculum)
• •Lycée Français International Georges Pompidou – Al Rashidiya, approx. 20-min drive (French curriculum)

Shopping & dining

Day-to-day shopping is handled by smaller supermarkets and neighbourhood retail along Al Khawaneej Road. Lulu Hypermarket in Al Qusais is about 15 min away for a full grocery run. Dining options within the immediate community are limited — residents mostly head to Mirdif City Centre (around 15 min) for restaurants and leisure.

Parks & leisure

Al Khawaneej Walk, a low-key open-air retail and dining strip, is a few minutes away and functions as the community's main social node. Mushrif Park — one of Dubai's largest public parks with cycling paths and green space — is roughly 10 min by car. Beyond that, leisure options require driving to Mirdif or further into the city.

Things to consider

Al Khawaneej 2 offers some of the largest residential plots available in Dubai at relatively accessible price points, but it is car-dependent with limited walkable retail, no metro, and a 30+ min commute to most commercial hubs. Buyers prioritising beach access or a short city commute should weigh that against the space gains.
