Al Warqa 4

Al Warqa 4 is a predominantly residential sub-community within the broader Al Warqa area in east Dubai, sitting between Mirdif and Academic City. It attracts families looking for spacious villas and mid-rise apartments away from the density of central Dubai.

Location & connectivity

Al Warqa 4 sits close to Al Khail Road (E44), which connects quickly to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). Dubai International Airport is roughly a 15-min drive, and DIFC is around 25 mins by car. There is no metro access directly in the community; residents rely on private vehicles or taxis.

Property mix

The area is dominated by standalone villas and low-to-mid-rise apartment buildings on residential plots.

• •Villas: Independent Arabic-style villas, many owner-occupied or leased to families
• •Apartments: Low-rise residential buildings along the main internal roads

Schools

No major international schools sit inside Al Warqa 4 itself; nearby options include:

• •GEMS Royal Dubai School (Al Warqa 1) — British curriculum, ~5-min drive
• •Dunecrest American School (Al Warqa) — American curriculum, ~8-min drive

• •Rashid Hospital (Deira) — ~20-min drive

Shopping & dining

City Centre Mirdif is the primary retail and dining destination, around a 10-min drive with over 400 stores and a cinema. Al Warqa itself has local supermarkets and neighbourhood restaurants along its main service roads. Residents also use nearby Lulu Hypermarket in Muhaisnah for day-to-day grocery runs.

Parks & leisure

Al Warqa 4 is close to Mushrif Park, one of Dubai's largest green spaces with cycling tracks, barbecue areas, and a small amusement section — approximately a 10-min drive. Local community parks and open play areas are scattered within the sub-district. City Centre Mirdif's indoor Ski Dubai alternative is absent here, but the mall has VOX Cinemas for entertainment.
