Al Maqtaa is a well-established residential district in Abu Dhabi that has grown into a desirable location for families. While the area does not have a listed developer or single project owner, it is home to several well-planned sub-communities. Notably, Hills Abu Dhabi is a gated community offering large villas and excellent facilities including pools, gyms, and clubhouses.

Properties in Al Maqtaa primarily include villas with contemporary and traditional Emirati designs. Many homes have large layouts with additional maid’s rooms, majlises, and waterfront balconies. Some of the more luxurious villas also enjoy direct views of Khor Al Maqtaa. Apartment options are limited but available in Al Maqtaa Village, offering configurations from studios to 3-bedroom flats and penthouses.

The region also provides excellent leisure, shopping, and hospitality facilities. Notable hotels such as Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri offer residents and visitors premium experiences. The Souk at Qaryat Al Beri, Venetian Village, and the Ritz-Carlton Grand Canal further enhance the lifestyle offering with fine dining, spa facilities, and cultural activities.

Its location between two major bridges allows for quick access to downtown Abu Dhabi, while being close to schools, hospitals, and parks makes Al Maqtaa a self-contained residential hub. With continued development near the waterfront and key landmarks within walking distance, Al Maqtaa offers both historical relevance and modern convenience.
