Overview

About Meydan City

Meydan City is a master-planned district in Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City). The community is a project of Meydan Group, a Dubai government-linked entity backed by Dubai Holding. The area is anchored by 60,000-capacity Meydan Racecourse, home of the Dubai World Cup; the district combines residential neighbourhoods with a five-star hotel, golf course and extensive green space.

Meydan City properties span a wide range, from villas and mansions in District One, built around a 7km man-made Crystal Lagoon, to apartments and townhouses closer to the racecourse itself. This variety gives buyers a wider choice within a single master plan, whether they’re searching for a villa for sale in Meydan City or an apartment suited to a smaller household.

The area is fairly close to Downtown Dubai, roughly 10 minutes away via Al Khail Road (E44) and Dubai Marina is reachable within 15 minutes. Meydan City’s location within MBR City places it between Business Bay, Nad Al Sheba and Zabeel, giving residents easy access to some of the city’s most established districts.

Living in Meydan City means access to wide boulevard roads, landscaped green spaces and a growing selection of restaurants and leisure facilities, alongside the district’s continued expansion through projects like Meydan One. Buying an off-plan property in Meydan City allows you to enter a district still building out its full master plan, with new phases and amenities continuing to shape the area’s character.
