Discover Ras Al Khor
Ras Al Khor is a mixed-use district positioned at the inland head of Dubai Creek in eastern Dubai. It borders Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai Festival City, Nad Al Hamar, International City, Nad Al Sheba, and Meydan Horizon. The area contains commercial and light-industrial facilities, the protected Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, established rental communities, and off-plan high-rise residential developments.
The district evolved under Dubai Municipality and Dubai Land Department planning without a single master developer. Instead, individual developers construct specific parcels, such as Wasl Asset Management Group and Sobha Realty. While long-standing residential pockets comprise low- to mid-rise rental buildings, new developments feature luxury multi-tower apartment complexes overlooking the Creek and wetlands.
- Bordered by Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Awir Road / Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66)
- Home to the 6.2-square-kilometre Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
- Modern freehold residential expansions launched in late 2022
- Connected via Nad Al Hamar Road (D62) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311)
- Future rail access planned via a dedicated Dubai Metro Blue Line station
