The Oasis by Emaar

The Oasis sits in southern Dubai off Al Qudra Road, near Dubai Studio City and the Arabian Ranches corridor, roughly 25–30 minutes from Downtown and Dubai Marina. It is an Emaar masterplan of villas and mansions built around lagoons, canals and landscaped water features.

Entry is generally from around AED 7.5 million for a four-bedroom villa, rising well past AED 30 million for larger mansions on prime water-facing plots. Price per square foot is lower than comparable Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills product — you are buying plot size and setting rather than a central address.

It is a capital and lifestyle asset, not an income one. Gross yields around 4% are low by Dubai standards and are not the point. The case rests on Emaar's masterplan record, genuine scarcity of large-plot villa land within reach of central Dubai, and a buyer pool for ultra-prime Dubai property that has deepened considerably. The counterweight is liquidity: at this price point, exiting depends on a small number of buyers being active when you want to sell.

Scale of plot and the water. Dubai Hills and Arabian Ranches are family communities with villas on standard plots; The Oasis is positioned above both, with larger plots, lagoons and canals designed into the masterplan rather than added as landscaping. It targets the tier that would otherwise consider Emirates Hills or a Palm villa.

The masterplan is being delivered in phases across the second half of this decade, with individual sub-communities handing over on their own schedules. Buyers should expect to live alongside ongoing construction of neighbouring phases for some years after their own villa completes — normal for a masterplan of this size, but worth planning for.

Yes — The Oasis is freehold, so any nationality can own outright with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. At these price points a purchase also comfortably exceeds the threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa; confirm current requirements before relying on it.
