Lyra — Nature-Inspired Apartments Set Inside a Forest Community

Lyra is Majid Al Futtaim’s newest apartment launch in Ghaf Woods, where the forest is part of the address. Its design takes nature as its theme, and the setting delivers on the promise: trees along every path, forest trails at the door and a community centre of cafés and farm-to-table restaurants close by. It suits buyers who want a smart entry into Dubai’s first forest living community, whether as a first home in Dubailand or as an investment.

A Nature-Inspired Address Inside Ghaf Woods

Lyra takes the forest as its inspiration. It stands in Ghaf Woods, a community planted around the native Ghaf tree, where trees outnumber residents and smart soil and water-capturing technology keep the greenery thriving. One- and two-bedroom apartments give owners a green backdrop for everyday life, and a setting that grows richer as the planting matures.

Forest Trails and a Mountain Bike Loop Beyond the Door

Beyond the apartments, Ghaf Woods is laid out for an outdoor routine. Forest pathways lead to a central forest park, running tracks and adventure trails wind between the trees, and a mountain bike loop of 3.5 km runs with the Qudra-Barari cycle track alongside. A morning ride or an evening jog needs no drive, which makes the setting as appealing to tenants as to owners.

Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure Two Minutes Away

Lyra sits at the quiet edge of Dubailand’s busiest leisure district. Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure are about two minutes from Ghaf Woods, so visiting family and friends always have somewhere to go, and weekends offer events, dining and attractions close at hand. Back at home, the forest keeps the pace calm.

Forest-Edge Pools, Outdoor Fitness and a Wellness Pavilion

Forest-edge pools and outdoor fitness areas turn a swim, a workout or a yoga class into part of the daily route, and a wellness pavilion gives the community a calm centre. Children have a skatepark, a sports park and multi-purpose courts, and the master plan places a school and a mosque inside the community, so daily life stays close to home.

Lyra Location — Wadi Al Safa 4, Ghaf Woods

Wadi Al Safa 4 sits in Dubailand, where the city's entertainment destinations meet its newest family communities. Ghaf Woods stands off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, beside Global Village, with Tilal Al Ghaf, another Majid Al Futtaim neighbourhood, close by. Residents live in a forest setting yet remain a single drive from the business districts, the beaches and both international airports.

Lyra Amenities — The Ghaf Woods Community

Property Types at Lyra

The two-bedroom apartments are the larger homes of the collection, a natural fit for small families and for owners who want a second bedroom for guests or a home office. They pair the extra room with the forest setting, so the green outlook that makes Ghaf Woods special becomes part of everyday family life, from breakfast to bedtime, in a home with room for a growing household.

The one-bedroom apartments are the entry point to Ghaf Woods, suited to first-time buyers, couples and investors who want a well-located rental near Global Village and Dubailand’s leisure district. Owners share the same forest trails, pools and cafés as every other resident, with the Distrikt town centre close by, in a community that is still in its early phases and growing around them.

Early Entry at the Opening of Ghaf Woods

Ghaf Woods covers 738,000 sq m and is released in eight phases through 2031, with more than 7,000 homes planned. Majid Al Futtaim has announced Ghaf Woods Mall as a flagship retail destination and has awarded an AED 2 billion construction contract for further residences. Lyra is a new launch, so buyers choose their apartment at the start of its sales, ahead of the community’s mall and facilities, and well before the first residents turn it into a settled neighbourhood.

Entry Prices and Rental Demand

One-bedroom apartments are priced from AED 1,190,000 to AED 1,470,000 and two-bedroom apartments from AED 1,940,000 to AED 2,380,000, equal to AED 1,919 to AED 2,505 per sq ft. Dubai apartments carry a market-wide average gross yield of roughly 6,5% to 7% a year, a market range and not a forecast for Lyra. A forest setting and a town centre at the door are what tenants look for, and accessible entry prices widen the pool of buyers and renters.

UAE Golden Visa Eligibility

Property worth AED 2,000,000 or more qualifies its owner for the UAE Golden Visa. Two-bedroom apartments at Lyra start from AED 1,940,000 and reach AED 2,380,000, so the upper-priced homes clear the threshold, while one-bedroom buyers can qualify by combining Dubai properties. The visa gives 10-year renewable residency without a sponsor, with family included and no minimum stay, so an owner can live here, let the apartment or split time between countries. Approval rests with the Dubai Land Department.

Infrastructure Advantages of Wadi Al Safa 4

Road Links to Business and Beach Districts

Ghaf Woods stands off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, which links Dubailand with the city in both directions, so a day in the business districts is a single drive, with Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road alongside. Mall of the Emirates and Dubai International Airport are about 20 minutes away, and Dubai Marina about 25. A future Blue Metro station is marked on the master plan, which would add a public transport option beside the forest for residents who prefer to leave the car at home.

Dubailand Leisure and Forest Trails Nearby

Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure, two minutes away, are close neighbours for entertainment, events and dining, and give weekends plenty of choice. Inside the community, forest pathways, a mountain bike loop and the Qudra-Barari cycle track serve daily recreation, and Distrikt supplies cafés and shops. City Centre Me'aisem and City Centre Mirdif, about 15 minutes away, cover larger shopping trips and family errands, so weekends need no extra planning.

A Master Plan With a School, a Mosque and Wellness Facilities

The Ghaf Woods master plan places a school, a mosque, a skatepark, a wellness pavilion and a sports park inside the community, with an interactive Forest Experience Centre at its heart. Forest pathways connect every neighbourhood, and the farthest point is about five minutes on foot, so daily routines stay close to home and neighbours meet along the way. Tilal Al Ghaf, Majid Al Futtaim's neighbouring community, is 15 minutes away, and the community's own cafés and shops cover daily needs.
