Tilal Al Ghaf

Tilal Al Ghaf is developed by Majid Al Futtaim, the group behind Mall of the Emirates. The master-planned community spans over 30 million square feet and is centred around a crystal lagoon, blending sustainable design with premium villa living across a range of home types and price points.

Yes — Tilal Al Ghaf is a freehold community open to buyers of all nationalities, offering villas, mansions, townhouses and apartments. Communities within the development include Harmony Villas, Serenity Mansions and Aura Gardens, with ownership registered through the Dubai Land Department.

Average prices range from roughly AED 1,400 to 2,800 per sq ft, with homes spanning about AED 3M to AED 35M+. Lagoon-facing villas command the highest premiums within the community, reflecting the centrality of Lagoon Al Ghaf to the master plan.

Tilal Al Ghaf is primarily a capital appreciation play — early-phase buyers have seen villa prices rise 30–40% since launch, while rental yields are a steadier 5–6.5%. Limited supply of lagoon-facing homes supports long-term value, so income-focused buyers may yield more elsewhere but few communities match its appreciation record.

The community is designed around healthy living, with a swimmable crystal lagoon as its centrepiece, extensive green corridors, cycling paths, farm-to-table community gardens and car-free neighbourhood pockets. Access is off Hessa Street and Al Qudra Road; there is no metro nearby, so residents are car-dependent.
