About Dubai South

Urban Innovation & Investment at the Heart of Future Dubai

Overview

Dubai South, formerly known as Dubai World Central, is a 145 sq km master-planned community centered around Al Maktoum International Airport. Envisioned as a new-age city to support Dubai’s long-term economic growth, Dubai South is home to residential, commercial, logistics, and aviation zones that serve over 500,000 jobs and 1 million residents.

With direct access to the Etihad Rail, Emirates Road, and Palm Jebel Ali Port, Dubai South provides unmatched connectivity. While currently not connected to the Dubai Metro, future expansions are expected to connect the area to key city lines. The internal rapid transit system and road infrastructure already ensure excellent mobility across the district.

Dubai South places an emphasis on quality living, with a mix of mid-range to luxury apartments, villas, and townhouses. Family-friendly amenities like parks, schools (such as GEMS International), shopping options, and healthcare facilities support a balanced lifestyle. Lush landscaping projects worth over AED 1 billion, a championship 18-hole golf course, and proximity to Dubai Parks & Resorts make this area not only livable but also vibrant.

The district is organized into diverse developments like The Pulse, Expo Golf Villas, and MAG 5 Boulevard, which cater to working professionals and growing families. Whether you’re an investor seeking a high-ROI rental property or a homeowner searching for serenity and connectivity, Dubai South offers an all-in-one solution.
