Waterfront
About €10,000/m²The sea in perspective: islands, beaches and coastal addresses. The price level depends on the residence and the view; this threshold is not the average of all coastal properties.
SAKHO PROPERTIES / THE CITY DECODED
BLUEWATERS · DUBAI MARINA© RAIMOND KLAVINS / UNSPLASH ↗ Dubai, three horizons.
An overview to understand the city. Then a zoom into the neighbourhoods shaping tomorrow — their access, amenities and the reality of their surroundings.
A map to explore, not an official zoning map or a property valuation.
01 / THREE WAYS TO READ DUBAIThree zones.
Three zones.
Countless distinctive addresses.
The three zones group families of neighbourhoods, not administrative boundaries. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are reference points, not price borders.
Premium core
About €6,000 to €8,000/m²The business center, Downtown, Business Bay and the new Creek Harbour promenades. The Creek and the canal are not seafront beaches.
Residential & growth
About €3,000 to €5,000/m²Communities, schools and parks sit alongside developing neighborhoods and projects. Dubai Hills and JVC are near Al Khail, not all located “beyond” that axis.
The ranges above are the search landmarks proposed in the brief, not transaction averages nor prices applicable to each property. Verifiable neighborhood indicators appear in the sheets below.

Follow the lines. See the city.
Choose an axis or metro line: its context, status and a clearly identified photograph appear here. Routes are also readable on the map.
INFRASTRUCTURE IDENTIFIED ON THE MAP
Major north–south corridor of Dubai. The displayed route comes from OpenStreetMap; the photograph is a contextual view of Downtown, not an image of the entire E11.
Inner axis connecting several residential and business areas. The photo illustrates the selected neighborhood, not this road along its entire length.
Bypass axis serving areas farther from the coastline. OSM routing verifiable; contextual image of the selected neighborhood.
Major UAE ring artery, useful for locating developing areas. The map shows its OSM route, without promising travel times.
Major inland thoroughfare, traced from OSM. Any pictured shot shows a nearby chosen neighborhood, not necessarily the carriageway.
Existing metro line, shown between geolocated stations. The photographed train belongs to the Dubai Metro, without identifying the exact station or segment.

METHOD & TRANSPARENCY
Read the map without oversimplifying reality.
01 / An editorial breakdown
Waterfront, premium core and residential are three ways to explore places, not three regulatory polygons. Palm is an island, Creek Harbour a Creek neighbourhood; Dubai Hills and JVC are not entirely beyond Al Khail Road.
02 / Located prices
The three orders of magnitude in euros come from the brief. The detailed figures are distinct: indices of apartments listed or apartment sales in the cited neighborhood, in AED per square foot. Conversion by 10.7639104 ft²/m² with 1 € = 1.1225 USD (ECB, 2 October 2026) and 1 USD ≈ 3.6725 AED (CBUAE). The data are not a promise of price.
03 / A dated mobility
The Red/Green lines connect geolocated stations; the Blue Line is planned, announced by the RTA for September 2029, subject to change. The 5–10 and 15–35 minute markers depend on the address, the chosen beach or center, the route and traffic: they are not guaranteed durations.
