Al Warqa 3

Al Warqa 3 is a sub-community within the broader Al Warqa area in east Dubai, primarily a self-contained residential district popular with families seeking villas and apartments at relatively accessible price points. It sits east of Festival City and south of Mirdif, placing it within a well-established mid-income residential corridor.

Location & connectivity

Al Warqa 3 connects directly to Al Khail Road (E44), one of Dubai's main arterial routes, giving residents a roughly 15-min drive to DIFC and about 20 min to Downtown Dubai. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is approximately 15 min by car. There is no metro station within the community itself; the nearest is along the Green Line at Al Qiyadah or Union, requiring a drive or taxi to reach.

Property mix

The community is dominated by low-rise villas and mid-rise residential apartment buildings on plot-based streets.

• •Villas: Detached and semi-detached family villas, typically 3–5 bedrooms on private plots
• •Apartments: Low- to mid-rise residential buildings along main community roads
• •Land: Some undeveloped residential plots remain available

Schools

No major international schools sit within Al Warqa 3 itself; nearby options include:

• •GEMS Royal Dubai School (Al Warqa 1) — MoE/British curriculum, ~5-min drive
• •Delhi Private School (Al Warqa) — CBSE curriculum, ~5-min drive
• •Pristine Private School (Al Warqa) — MoE curriculum, ~5-min drive

• •NMC Royal Hospital (Al Warqa) — ~5-min drive
• •Medcare Hospital Al Safa — ~20-min drive
• •Rashid Hospital (Umm Hurair) — ~15-min drive

Shopping & dining

City Centre Mirdif, one of Dubai's larger shopping malls, is about a 10-min drive and covers most retail and dining needs. Al Warqa City Mall and local community retail strips along internal roads offer supermarkets, pharmacies, and casual dining. Carrefour and Lulu Hypermarket outlets in the Mirdif and Festival City corridor are the nearest large-format grocery options.

Parks & leisure

Al Warqa Park — one of Dubai's larger public parks — is located within the broader Al Warqa area and is accessible in roughly 5–10 min. The park features walking tracks, picnic areas, and open green space suitable for families. Festival City's waterfront promenade and golf course at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club are approximately 15 min away.

Nearby areas

• •Al Warqa 1 & 2 — immediately adjacent sub-districts
• •Mirdif — ~10-min drive north
• •Dubai Festival City — ~10-min drive west
• •Nad Al Sheba — ~15-min drive south
• •Al Mizhar — ~10-min drive east

Things to consider

Al Warqa 3 lacks a metro connection, so car dependency is high — not ideal for residents without a vehicle. The area is well-removed from the beach (Dubai Marina is roughly 35–40 min), so buyers prioritising coastal access should factor that in.
