Jebel Ali Village
Modern family villas near Ibn Battuta and the Marina.
Living in Jebel Ali Village
Jebel Ali Village is a Nakheel villa community near Ibn Battuta Mall, Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan. The original village was one of Dubai's earliest expat neighbourhoods, and it has been rebuilt with modern three and four bedroom villas on quiet, green streets.
It is a small, settled community that appeals to families who want a newer villa close to the metro, the beach and the Marina, without the size of the larger master communities.
The villas have open plan living areas, private gardens and modern kitchens, and many owners have added pools or landscaped their outdoor space. Streets are laid out in a simple grid with parks between the blocks, and the community feels quiet and safe, with very little through traffic. Because it is small, residents often know their neighbours, which is part of the appeal for families moving from larger communities.
