Al Barari

Dubai’s Greenest Secret

Al Barari isn’t just a community, it’s a philosophy. A lush, low-density enclave surrounded by botanical gardens, tranquil waterways, and birdsong. Located just off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Barari is a world apart from the city’s vertical skyline. It is where nature, architecture, and luxury co-exist in perfect balance.

Often described as the greenest residential community in the UAE, Al Barari is home to some of Dubai’s most spacious villas and refined wellness experiences. It’s a neighbourhood designed not just to impress, but to restore.

Life in the Community

Life in Al Barari moves to a different rhythm. Mornings begin with walks through tree-lined pathways, pilates in the gardens, or coffee on shaded terraces. There’s a strong sense of community here, but it’s quietly elegant, not showy. Think wellness, sustainability, and intentional living.

The area is popular with creatives, entrepreneurs, young families, and global professionals who value privacy and tranquillity, but also want space, both physically and mentally. Children play barefoot in the grass, adults gather at The Farm or at weekend wellness markets. It’s a lifestyle that feels like a daily retreat.

“Al Barari isn’t about square footage, it’s about soul. Our clients choose it for the peace it brings. It’s where you can focus, create, or raise a family away from noise but still feel deeply connected to the city.”

Architecture & Residences

Al Barari is home to four core property types: grand villas, contemporary residences, garden apartments, and boutique developments like The Nest and Lunaria. All are designed with sustainability in mind and take full advantage of the natural landscape.

  • The Residences – Palatial 6–7-bedroom villas with private pools and garden spaces
  • The Nest – Sleek 4-bedroom contemporary villas with open-plan living and floor-to-ceiling glass
  • Lunaria – The newest villa collection: modern, minimalist, and set in prime positions
  • Ashjar & Seventh Heaven – Upscale apartments with shaded balconies and garden or skyline views

“We’ve brokered significant resale and off-market deals in Al Barari, often for clients who originally weren’t considering it. Once they see the homes and the greenery, it’s a visceral reaction. The price per square foot here, compared to Downtown or the Palm, still represents real value.”

Lifestyle & Amenities

With lush green landscapes, botanical gardens, and wellness woven into daily life, residents experience a slower, more intentional pace of living. Yet with top schools, shopping destinations, and city hotspots just minutes away, Al Barari offers a lifestyle that’s both secluded and seamlessly connected.

Al Barari’s central location means quick access to top-tier schools across Al Barsha, Nad Al Sheba, and Meydan:

  • King’s School Al Barsha
  • Nord Anglia International School
  • Repton School
  • Hartland International School
  • GEMS Wellington Academy


For younger children, Blossom Nursery and Step By Step Nursery are just minutes away.

Wellness is the beating heart of Al Barari. The community offers residents an unmatched quality of life rooted in nature and balance:

  • The Farm – One of Dubai’s most beloved health-focused restaurants, nestled in lush greenery
  • Heart & Soul Spa – Boutique wellness centre with holistic treatments, sauna, and yoga
  • Body Language – Private gym, tennis, and fitness studio for residents
  • Botanical gardens, rivers, and walkways spanning over 60% of the community’s footprint
  • Weekly markets, wellness workshops, and outdoor cinema nights curated by the community


There are no high-rise buildings here, just villas, gardens, birdsong, and space to breathe.

While Al Barari feels secluded, it’s strategically located:

  • Downtown Dubai – 15 minutes
  • DXB Airport – 20 minutes
  • Dubai Hills Mall – 10 minutes
  • The Palm / Marina – 25 minutes


Nearby malls and retail centres like
Cityland Mall, Mirdif City Centre, and Dubai Hills Mall offer convenient shopping and dining options, while the in-community retail strip continues to expand with curated brands and wellness cafes.

Investment Outlook

Al Barari’s real estate has seen a sharp upward trajectory in the last 2 years, particularly post-COVID, as buyers prioritised space and wellness. Entry pricing for 4-bedroom homes in The Nest starts around AED 10M, with larger residences in The Residences or Lunaria reaching AED 25M+.

The area offers excellent capital appreciation, low turnover, and a strong long-term hold. Most buyers here are end users, with growing interest from European, Canadian, and Gulf families relocating permanently.
