Mix of heritage attractions and modern amenities
Al Jazirah Al Hamra stands out for its historical significance as the last traditional pearling town in the Gulf. The community was once ruled by the Zaab tribe, which later relocated to Abu Dhabi, leaving behind a preserved village that offers deep insights into Emirati heritage. The community's significance lies in its cultural preservation.
Today, Al Jazirah Al Hamra includes a blend of traditional coral-stone houses and newly developed luxurious villas with spacious layouts and modern amenities. The old village remains untouched, showcasing original Gulf settlement architecture, while the surrounding areas are seeing new residential and commercial growth.
Villas in Al Jazirah Al Hamra offer large covered areas ranging from 6,000 sq. ft. to 14,000 sq. ft., with features like temperature-controlled pools, high ceiling windows, spacious patios, maid’s rooms, and three-car garages. These homes provide a private and comfortable lifestyle for families seeking a quiet setting.
While the old part of town is preserved for cultural and tourism purposes, the growing infrastructure around it makes it a viable place for modern living. The area is connected to major roads and surrounded by schools, malls, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
