About the project
Alma 1 is a residential complex in Arabian Ranches.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 6 200 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 5%.
Townhouses and villas in Arabian Ranches, ready. Three lots in our own stock, two to four bedrooms, from AED 4 to 6 million at AED 2,364/ft².
What the cluster is
Alma 1 is a residential cluster in the first phase of Arabian Ranches, Emaar's oldest villa community in the city.
Neighbouring Al Mahra, in the same district (Arabian Ranches' first phase), is covered separately and prices at AED 2,236/ft² — Alma runs slightly higher at essentially the same address.
Our three lots are townhouses and villas with two, three and four bedrooms, from 1,780 to 2,520 sq ft — more compact than neighbouring Al Mahra, whose villas start at 4,847 sq ft.
What the figures show
Prices run from AED 4 to 6 million at an average of around AED 2,364/ft². It's the premium level of Arabian Ranches' first phase, but in a more compact, absolutely cheaper format than Al Mahra's villas.
All three lots are listed with a discount, averaging 8%.
A more compact format at a similar address — Alma 1 can serve as an entry point into Arabian Ranches for buyers who can't stretch to Al Mahra's large villas.
What to check
First — condition: the community is over fifteen years old, and the systems and roof need attention.
Second — whether the previous owner's alterations were properly approved.
Third — plot size separate from house size.

Arabian Ranches. Emaar’s original villa community: mature, established, and the benchmark every later family district is measured against.
How much does an apartment in Alma 1 cost?
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 6 200 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 5%. Prices move every day, so it is worth asking for the current list for this building.
Written landlord permission for a pet in Dubai is mandatory — a verbal agreement is not enough. Keeping a dog in Downtown or Business Bay is close to impossible, while a villa in Arabian Ranches or Al Furjan solves the walking problem by design.
Emirates Golf Club, Montgomerie, Dubai Creek, The Els Club, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates: when each opened, who designed it and which communities surround it. A buyer's guide for people choosing the home, not the membership.
One of Dubai’s first villa communities, long settled and traded entirely second-hand. A mature district is assessed differently — and that is its advantage.
A twenty-year-old house comes with a predictable list of works. The order matters as much as the total: some spending comes back when you let, some never does.
Where this project stands today
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
