Dubai South is the UAE's most ambitious new city — a 145 sq km master development surrounding Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the world's largest airport). Home to Expo City Dubai (legacy of Expo 2020), the aviation district, and affordable residential communities, Dubai South is a long-term infrastructure play.
| Studio | AED 280K – 450K |
| 1 Bedroom | AED 400K – 650K |
| 2 Bedroom | AED 620K – 950K |
| 3 Bedroom | AED 850K – 1.4M |
| Villa | AED 1.5M – 4M |
Dubai South offers 8–10% gross rental yields, driven by affordable purchase prices and growing demand from airport workers, Abu Dhabi commuters, and Expo City visitors. The Al Maktoum airport expansion is expected to significantly increase the permanent workforce population in the area, underpinning long-term rental demand growth.
Dubai South offers Dubai's most affordable freehold entry point, with the Al Maktoum airport expansion and Azizi Venice (a Venice-themed lagoon community) driving long-term demand. Yields of 8–10% compensate for the longer appreciation timeline.
"Dubai South is the long game. The airport expansion alone will create more demand than any single community in Dubai over the next decade. Entry prices are still at 2019 levels in some projects — that window won't stay open forever."

Dubai South is a long-term investment play. Property prices are Dubai's most affordable (studios from AED 280K), and the Al Maktoum airport expansion and Azizi Venice development will drive significant demand over the next 5–10 years. Current yields of 8–10% provide income while waiting for capital appreciation.
Azizi Venice is a large-scale master community in Dubai South featuring a 700-metre crystal lagoon, Venice-inspired canals, a 1.5km boulevard, waterfront villas, and apartment towers. It's one of Dubai's most talked-about new developments for 2025–2027.
Dubai South is approximately 40–50 minutes from Downtown Dubai by car, and 30 minutes from Dubai Marina. It's 15 minutes from Abu Dhabi, making it popular with Abu Dhabi workers seeking affordable Dubai-side housing.
