Al Twar 3

Al Twar 3 is the third sub-district of the Al Twar cluster, a traditional residential area in east Dubai that has been home to UAE nationals and long-term expatriate families for decades. It sits between the busier commercial corridors of Al Qusais and the greener residential pocket of Mirdif.

Location & connectivity

Al Twar 3 sits off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khawaneej Road, giving residents direct access to two of Dubai's main arterial routes. Dubai International Airport is roughly a 10-min drive, and Mirdif City Centre is reachable in around 8 minutes. The nearest metro stations are on the Green Line — Al Nahda and Abu Hail stations are the closest options, each around a 10-min drive.

The community is dominated by standalone villas on generous plots, with some mid-rise residential buildings on its periphery. Specific branded sub-clusters are not publicly documented for this sub-district.

Things to consider

Al Twar 3 is a genuine residential suburb with minimal retail and nightlife within walking distance — residents are car-dependent for most errands. Villa plots can require renovation budgets, as much of the housing stock is older and not newly built.
