Reem is a modern desert oasis community developed by Emaar Properties in Dubailand, situated along Al Qudra Road at the intersection with Emirates Road. Launched in 2013 and featuring a master plan designed around the concept of a traditional desert oasis, Reem holds the distinction of being the first gated residential community in Dubai to incorporate a large-scale central park at its heart. The development was conceived to offer families a tranquil, green escape from the city while remaining connected to Dubai's main road network.
The community's two completed residential clusters — Mira and Mira Oasis — together deliver over 2,900 townhouses and villas across a mix of 3 and 4-bedroom configurations. With a growing school offering, improving amenities and a strong track record of steady value appreciation, Reem has matured from a pioneering desert community into a genuine suburban family destination.
Community & Lifestyle
Reem is designed around outdoor living and family activity. The central park forms the social and recreational core of the community, providing a year-round destination for residents and creating a genuine village atmosphere within a secure gated environment.
Key lifestyle features include:
- Large central park with interactive fountains, landscaped walkways and open green spaces
- Outdoor amphitheatre cinema for community screenings
- Football, basketball and volleyball pitches
- Skate park and skateboard area
- Tennis courts and outdoor gymnasium
- Jogging and cycling tracks throughout the community
- Dedicated dog walking park
- Swimming pools and children's play areas within each sub-community
- Mira Town Centre with Spinneys supermarket, 20 retail outlets, cafés, pharmacy, pet store and services
- Proximity to Plantation Equestrian Polo Club and Arabian Ranches Golf Club
The resident base is overwhelmingly family-oriented, with a mix of expatriate and UAE-national families drawn by the spacious homes, secure environment, good school access and the community's outdoor focus.
