Master plan
The developer’s own site plan for Al Waha Residences, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when
The launch schedule split the price 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% at handover. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.
On top of the price, the Dubai Land Department charges 4% to register the sale, about AED 76,000 at this resale price. Under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007, that 10% booking payment goes into a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than to Expo City Dubai directly, and is drawn down against certified construction progress.
What the entry price works out at
The cheapest unit with a published size is 844 square feet at AED 1,700,000, which works out at AED 2,014 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 844 to 2,519 square feet.
Handover and construction
Handover is set for Q2 2027. Construction was last recorded at 47% complete.
Ownership and residency
Al Waha Residences is sold freehold, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The 10 year UAE golden visa has a property threshold of AED 2,000,000, which the cheapest resale listed does not reach, though 2 bedroom units here start at AED 2,900,000 and clear it on their own.
Who it suits
The development is apartments in 1 to 2 bedroom layouts. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.
What is on site
The shared facilities recorded for Al Waha Residences are the usual Dubai set: indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, gymnasium, restaurants and children's play area. 8 floor plans are published for it.
