Arabian Ranches
About Arabian Ranches
Arabian Ranches is a high-end villa community by Emaar Properties, spread over 1,650+ acres in Dubai. This highly planned, gated community is famous for its peaceful, green environment that stands out amidst the city's bustle. The development encompasses 15 interconnected sub-communities, each of which is provided with amenities like swimming pools, sports, and parks.
The villas in Arabian Ranches come in different layouts and architectural styles, including Mediterranean, Spanish, and Arabian themes. Private pools, gardens, and parking spaces are provided in most of the houses, which make them ideal for families and those who like independent and spacious living.
Completion of the community has seen a vibrant lifestyle destination with closeness to schools like Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS), supermarkets, and medical centers. Arabian Ranches Golf Club and Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club make the place a hub for golfers and people fond of equestrian activities.
The residents have well-manicured surroundings with decent road connectivity. Nevertheless, it is a car-dependent community, given its suburban setting, which limits accessibility to public transport means.
