Al Sufouh 1

Al Sufouh 1 is a mixed residential and hospitality zone forming the northern half of the Al Sufouh district, running along the Arabian Gulf coastline between Palm Jumeirah's trunk and Dubai Media City. It is home to a cluster of beachfront hotels, mid-rise apartment buildings, and large private villas on generous plots.

Location & connectivity

Al Sufouh 1 is positioned directly off Al Sufouh Road (D94), which links it north to Palm Jumeirah and south to Dubai Marina in roughly 10 minutes by car. The Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City metro stations (Red Line) are within a 5–10-minute drive, and Mall of the Emirates is approximately 15 minutes away. Sheikh Zayed Road can be reached via Interchange 5 in around 10 minutes.

Things to consider

Al Sufouh 1 is dominated by hotel infrastructure, so the residential inventory is relatively limited and transactions are infrequent — buyers should expect lower liquidity and fewer ready comparables. Villa plots are large and expensive; apartment options are more accessible but the building stock is aging in parts.
