Overview

About Al Barari

Al Barari is a gated eco-luxury community in Dubailand, developed by Al Barari Developers (Abwab Real Estate Ltd) and founded in 2005 by Emirati entrepreneur Zaal Mohammed Zaal. Spanning 15.3 million sq. ft., more than half the community is preserved as green space, with themed gardens, natural lakes and freshwater streams running throughout the master plan.

The area is divided into multiple sub-communities, including The Nest, Ashjar, Seventh Heaven, The Residences and The Reserve. Each of these sub-communities offer their own architectural style and unit configuration. Properties for sale in Al Barari include contemporary townhouses, villas and low-rise garden-facing apartments.

Villas for sale in Al Barari draw on a design philosophy centred around wellness, privacy and integration with the surrounding landscape. The development has more than 500 plant species and nearly 2,000 varieties recorded across the community’s gardens. This focus on nature has made Al Barari one of Dubai’s greenest communities. It is located along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road, roughly 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 25-35 minutes from Dubai International Airport. Despite its secluded, low-density character, the community remains well connected to the rest of the city, with Global Village and Dubai Autodrome just a short drive away.
