About Tilal Al Ghaf
Developed by Majid Al Futtaim, Tilal Al Ghaf is a 3 million square metre master-planned community located along Hessa Street (D61), designed around the 70,000 sqm Crystal Lagoon and interconnected residential neighbourhoods. The development comprises Elan, Aura, Harmony, Alaya and Elysian Mansions, offering townhouses, villas and ultra-luxury residences. Upon completion, the community is expected to accommodate over 65,000 residents across multiple districts integrated with parks, schools and retail zones.
Tilal Al Ghaf is positioned below Dubai Hills Estate and Palm Jumeirah pricing while offering larger unit sizes and waterfront access, making it attractive to end-users seeking space and value. The community sits 20–25 minutes from Dubai Marina and 25–30 minutes from Downtown Dubai, with direct access via Hessa Street and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). Planned infrastructure upgrades and proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport strengthen its appeal for families, investors and long-term residents.

What Makes Tilal Al Ghaf Special
Life in Tilal Al Ghaf centres around the lagoon, where mornings begin with a walk along sandy beaches and shaded park trails connecting each residential cluster. Children cycle through low-traffic streets while residents gather at neighbourhood cafés and community hubs. Afternoons shift toward water activities—paddleboarding, kayaking and beachside relaxation—before evenings settle into outdoor dining and quiet residential streets. The architecture blends contemporary design with open green spaces, creating a setting that feels structured yet calm.
The community attracts families, young couples and long-term investors seeking space, greenery and a self-contained environment. Schools, retail pavilions and wellness facilities are integrated within walking distance, reducing reliance on central Dubai. Rental demand remains stable due to limited supply of modern family housing, with projected steady price growth supported by ongoing infrastructure expansion and Majid Al Futtaim’s phased development strategy.
