Liwan

Liwan is a planned residential district within Dubailand, developed primarily by Mazaya Real Estate. It targets owner-occupiers and buy-to-let investors looking for competitively priced apartments in a quieter suburban setting.

Location & connectivity

Liwan sits along Al Ain Road (E66), giving direct access to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The community is approximately 25–30 minutes by car to Downtown Dubai and DIFC, and around 20 minutes to Dubai Silicon Oasis. There is no metro station within Liwan itself; residents rely on private vehicles or the RTA bus network running along Al Ain Road.

Property mix

Liwan is almost entirely an apartment community, with most stock concentrated in the Queue Point sub-development by Mazaya.

• •Apartments: Queue Point towers (Mazaya Q1 through Q4 and additional phases)
• •Studios and 1–3 bedroom units are the dominant formats
• •No villa or townhouse clusters are present within Liwan's main boundaries

Dining within the community is limited to casual neighbourhood eateries.

Parks & leisure

Things to consider

Liwan is firmly suburban — the limited public transport and distance from the coast or city centre mean a car is essential. Infrastructure and retail within the community remain sparse compared to more established areas, though pricing reflects this.
