Al Zeina is an upscale residential enclave in the Al Raha Beach area of Abu Dhabi. It stands out due to its modern infrastructure and prime location. The development was designed to provide residents with a waterfront lifestyle along the serene Al Raha Creek while still being well-connected to the rest of the city.
The community features a broad range of properties, from one-bedroom apartments to seven-bedroom villas, making it suitable for various family sizes and lifestyle preferences. Among its unique highlights are the podium and sky villas with sweeping sea views, and townhouses that offer a blend of space and privacy.
Al Zeina was developed with a focus on self-sufficiency and convenience. The seven precincts within the project include a number of retail outlets and amenities, so that residents rarely need to leave the community for daily needs. Everything from supermarkets and cafes to pharmacies and salons is located within walking distance.
Beyond the physical features, Al Zeina fosters a sense of community with its tranquil setting, green spaces, and active social groups. It is a popular choice for both buyers and renters looking for an upscale yet relaxed lifestyle close to Abu Dhabi’s entertainment and business hubs.
