At the far southern end of the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor, near Jebel Ali port and the free zone, roughly 18 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport and around 38 from Downtown Dubai. It is registered by the DLD as Down Town Jabal Ali. The district is industrial and logistics in character today rather than residential, with the housing being added alongside.
The district median across 1,280 recorded 2026 purchases is AED 1,546 per square foot, which is the cheapest of any district in our coverage — below Azizi's own portfolio-wide median of AED 1,764. Project medians run from AED 551,000 at Azizi Abraham to AED 1,556,479 at Eleve by Deyaar, with Arian by Azizi at AED 626,500 and Raw District by Imtiaz CR at AED 1,174,810.
Two developers, mostly. Raw District by Imtiaz CR recorded 433 purchases and Arian by Azizi 368, together more than half the district's 2026 activity, with Azizi Lina and Azizi Abraham adding a further 264. Raw District is notable for pace: all of its recorded sales landed from July 2026 onward, making it one of the fastest-selling developments anywhere in the emirate.
It is a price-and-patience proposition. Gross yields near 8% from a base around AED 600,000 are genuinely strong, and there is very little in Dubai priced lower. What you trade is location maturity: the district is industrial today, there is no metro, the tenant pool is limited to people working nearby, and the investment case rests on the Jebel Ali and Al Maktoum airport corridor developing through the 2030s — well after any current handover.
Not serving the residential district directly. The Red Line runs along Sheikh Zayed Road toward Jebel Ali but the new housing here is car-dependent in practice. Treat any listing implying walkable metro access as a claim to verify on a map rather than accept.
The programme is real and government-backed, and the corridor will change substantially over the next decade. The honest caveat is timing: it matures through the 2030s, while you will be letting units from around 2029. Buy on the price and the yield arithmetic as they stand today, and treat the corridor as upside rather than as the reason for the purchase.
Ask for the escrow account number in writing and verify it directly with the Dubai Land Department. Several of the largest sellers here — including the Raw District phases — were registered before the current year, so escrow status and filed completion dates do not appear in the open register we read. For a district selling this fast to buyers committing at this pace, that check matters and it falls to you.
