Tilal Al Ghaf

Tilal Al Ghaf is a master-planned residential community by Majid Al Futtaim, centred on Lagoon Al Ghaf — a freshwater crystal lagoon spanning roughly 70,000 sqm. The development is designed for families seeking private villa and townhouse living with beach and waterfront access inside the community.

Location & connectivity

Tilal Al Ghaf sits along Hessa Street (D61), placing it between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Qudra Road (D63). The community is approximately a 20-min drive to Downtown Dubai and DIFC, 25 mins to Dubai Marina, and 30 mins to Dubai International Airport. There is no metro access directly at the community; residents are car-dependent.

Property mix

The community is predominantly villas, mansions, and townhouses across several distinct sub-clusters. No apartment buildings are currently offered in this development.

• •Townhouses: Harmony (3–5 bed), Mudon-adjacent Harmony 1, Harmony 2, Harmony 3
• •Villas: Elan (3–4 bed townhouse-villa hybrids), Plagette 32 (lagoon-front villas)
• •Mansions: Serenity Mansions (large-format standalone mansions, lagoon-front plots)
• •Plots: Residential land plots available in select phases

Schools

No schools currently operate inside Tilal Al Ghaf itself. Nearby options include:

• •GEMS Metropole School, Motor City — approx. 10-min drive, UK curriculum
• •Ranches Primary School, Arabian Ranches — approx. 12-min drive, UK curriculum
• •Jebel Ali School, Al Quoz — approx. 15-min drive, UK curriculum
• •King's School Al Barsha, Al Barsha — approx. 15-min drive, UK curriculum

• •Al Zahra Hospital, Al Barsha — approx. 15-min drive
• •Aster Clinic, Arabian Ranches — approx. 10-min drive

Shopping & dining

The community's own retail spine, Lagoon Al Ghaf Promenade, is planned to include cafés, casual dining, and convenience retail — though full delivery is phased. For major shopping, Dubai Hills Mall is around 15 mins away and offers a full hypermarket, dining, and cinema. My City Centre Al Barsha and Mall of the Emirates are both within a 15–20-min drive.

Parks & leisure

The centrepiece is Lagoon Al Ghaf, a 70,000 sqm freshwater lagoon with a sandy beach, paddleboarding, kayaking, and open swimming. The community also includes Ghaf Forest — a landscaped woodland with walking and cycling trails. Phase-by-phase delivery of parks and leisure amenities continues as construction progresses.

Things to consider

The community is still under phased construction, meaning residents in earlier-delivered clusters may live alongside active building sites for several years. Car dependency is high — no public transport currently serves the area, and daily errands require driving out to established retail hubs.
