Arabian Ranches 3 is Emaar Properties' third and most contemporary chapter in Dubai's most celebrated villa dynasty — a sprawling 33 million square foot gated master community in Dubailand's Wadi Al Safa 5, positioned along Emirates Road and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street. Launched in 2019, the development builds on two decades of Arabian Ranches heritage while introducing a distinctly modern vision: wider central parklands, a lazy river boulevard, a cricket pitch, designer collaborations with the likes of Elie Saab and a 4-kilometre tree-lined boulevard running through the heart of the community.
With over 4,000 villas and townhouses across 16 sub-communities, Arabian Ranches 3 is already home to thousands of families and continues to evolve with new phases handng over through to 2027. It is simultaneously Emaar's most ambitious and most popular current villa community — consistently among Dubai's highest-demand family addresses for both buyers and tenants, with villa prices recording appreciation of up to 87% in individual units and rental yields averaging 5% to 5.9% across the community.
