An operational metro, Dubai Creek on one side and Healthcare City on the other.

Al Jaddaf

Al Jaddaf is a 5.5 sqkm mixed-use district on the southern bank of Dubai Creek — between Bur Dubai to the west and Dubai Healthcare City to the east. The area offers an operational metro station (Green Line), a waterfront promenade, and a well-established rental market driven by Healthcare City residents, hospitality (Marriott, IntercityHotel, Barcelo), and central offices. It delivers stable rental yields of 6-8% at an accessible entry price (1,200-1,900 AED per sqm) — one of the best opportunities to combine metro access with affordability.
