Majan is a freehold community taking shape in the heart of Dubailand, built around low rise and mid rise apartment buildings with a scattering of townhouses and villas.
Developed from 2013 onwards by Dubai Properties and a small set of private developers, Majan now spans roughly 6 million square feet and sits alongside Arjan to the west and Liwan to the south, forming one of Dubailand’s main gateway districts. Around 11 projects are active or recently completed, and the area continues to add supply as new towers reach handover.
Housing is dominated by studio, one, two, and three bedroom apartments, with townhouses and a handful of villas rounding out the mix. Leafy gardens, fountains, and open squares are threaded throughout the community, giving Majan a settled, welcoming feel even as construction continues on several fronts.
Majan is a genuinely freehold community, open to buyers of any nationality, which sets it apart from many of Dubai’s older, more restricted districts. As with any community still under active development, buyers should confirm each building’s handover status and developer track record before committing.
Majan sits on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), Dubailand’s main artery, with direct access to Al Ain Road as well. That single stretch of highway puts Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Mall of the Emirates all within a comfortable drive, while Dubailand’s own entertainment cluster sits just minutes from the community’s edge.
Majan keeps daily essentials close at hand, with supermarkets, clinics, salons, and cafes woven through the community itself, and Dubailand’s larger malls and theme parks only minutes away.
• Midtown Central Majan Shopping Centre: a community retail hub anchored by a Carrefour, covering everyday grocery needs.
• Local supermarkets and cafes: Yenboa Al Madeena Supermarket, Quick Supermarket, and a growing run of cafes and casual restaurants across the community.
• Community clinics: Dr Kamkar Medical and Physiotherapy Centre, Health Avenue Polyclinic, and Emirates Clinic all serve Majan directly.
• Al Barsha hospitals: a fuller range of hospitals and specialist care is available around 20 minutes away in Al Barsha.
• Landscaped parks and jogging tracks: green spaces, fountains, and open squares are threaded throughout Majan, supporting an active, outdoor lifestyle.
• Children's play areas: playgrounds and family focused public spaces are built into most of the community's residential clusters
Majan’s character is best described as calm and steadily maturing. Wide, tree lined streets, landscaped squares, and a pedestrian friendly layout give the community a settled feel that belies how recently much of it was built, while ongoing construction across several plots is a visible reminder that Majan is still finding its final shape.
The community sits within Dubailand’s wider entertainment corridor, close to Global Village, IMG Worlds of Adventure, Al Barari, and Living Legends, giving residents an unusual mix of quiet residential streets and major attractions on their doorstep. Residents consistently describe the atmosphere as peaceful and family friendly, with value for money the most cited reason for choosing Majan over more established, pricier Dubai communities.

What You’ll Find:
Majan’s property market is built almost entirely around apartments, running from studios through one, two, and three bedroom units, with a smaller run of townhouses and a few villas. Apartments typically trade at AED 950 to AED 1,400 per square foot, while townhouses trade higher, at roughly AED 1,100 to AED 1,650 per square foot.
Annual rents remain accessible relative to central Dubai: studio apartments typically start around AED 35,000 to AED 45,000, one bedroom units from roughly AED 56,000 to AED 68,000, and two bedroom units from approximately AED 89,000 to AED 100,000. Gross rental yields run around 7% to 9% on apartments and 6% to 7.5% on townhouses, a healthy return relative to Majan’s still developing amenity base.
Market Insight:
Majan’s investment case rests on genuine freehold access at a meaningfully lower entry price than Dubai’s more established communities, paired with rental yields that regularly outperform coastal and Downtown stock. The community’s location toward the edge of Dubailand means longer drives to the coast, but its proximity to Global Village, IMG Worlds of Adventure, and Al Barari gives it a lifestyle draw that few comparably priced communities can match.

Majan asks buyers and investors to look slightly beyond Dubai’s established centre and value a genuinely different proposition, real freehold ownership, meaningfully lower entry prices, and rental yields that regularly outperform coastal and Downtown stock.
