Al Rashidiya
About Al Rashidiya
Al Rashidiya is one of Dubai’s older residential districts, located in the Deira area. It primarily consists of standalone villas and low-rise apartment buildings. The community has developed organically as a government-established locality rather than as part of a master-planned development by a private developer.
The community is known for its family-friendly environment, featuring public facilities such as mosques, clinics, supermarkets, and schools. Its proximity to Dubai Creek Harbour provides residents with easy access to waterfront attractions and leisure destinations.
Al Rashidiya’s residential options include spacious villas, limited low-rise apartments, and occasional plots for custom-built homes. Properties in the area cater primarily to families seeking a peaceful and long-term lifestyle.
The community offers strong connectivity through the Rashidiya Metro Station (Red Line), major roads like Airport Road (D89) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, as well as various bus routes and taxi services. Public amenities and schools are conveniently located, making it suitable for residents of all ages.
