About Al Jurf
Al Jurf sits between Abu Dhabi and Dubai on the E11 corridor — close enough to both cities to matter, far enough from either to feel genuinely different. Imkan Properties is building out a low-density, nature-forward master-plan here, anchored by mangrove reserves and a wellness-led identity that's hard to find anywhere else on this stretch of coast. Our read: this is a long-game buy for buyers who want space, calm, and early-mover pricing before the area's story is fully told. It suits owner-occupiers with flexible commutes and investors prepared to hold through delivery.
Frequently asked questions about Al Jurf
Who are the main developers building in Al Jurf?
Right now, Imkan Properties is the dominant — and essentially sole — master developer shaping Al Jurf. Every project in our catalogue here is Imkan-led: Kayan Phase 2, SHA Residences Emirates, and the Naseem Al Jurf apartment and villa collections. Imkan is an Abu Dhabi-backed developer with a track record of delivering lifestyle-led communities, which gives our buyers reasonable confidence on build quality and timeline commitments.
What rental yields can I expect in Al Jurf?
Al Jurf is still in early handover stages, so the secondary rental market is thin. That said, comparable wellness and resort-style communities in the Abu Dhabi–Dubai corridor are achieving gross yields of 6–8% on short-term and holiday-let models. SHA Residences in particular is structured with a managed rental programme, which our investor clients find attractive for hands-off returns. We'd be cautious projecting long-term yields until the community reaches critical occupancy mass — likely 2026–2027.
How long is the commute from Al Jurf to Dubai Marina or DIFC?
Al Jurf sits on the E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) roughly halfway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, about 80 km from Dubai Marina and 90 km from DIFC. In light traffic that's around 50–60 minutes by car. It's not a daily-commute community for most Dubai office workers — our buyers here tend to be remote workers, Abu Dhabi professionals, or investors buying for lifestyle and rental income rather than a weekday commute.
What schools and amenities are available near Al Jurf?
Al Jurf is a low-density, nature-focused community rather than an urban hub, so on-site schooling isn't part of the current masterplan. The nearest established school options are in Ghantoot and Abu Dhabi city, roughly 20–30 minutes away. Within the community, Imkan is delivering a beach club, mangrove boardwalks, and the SHA wellness centre. For everyday retail, residents currently use nearby petrol station conveniences or drive to Abu Dhabi — a proper retail strip is still years out.
What makes SHA Residences Emirates different from the other Al Jurf projects?
SHA is the headline act. It's a branded residences concept tied to the SHA Wellness Clinic, a Spanish brand with properties in Alicante and Mexico. Buyers get access to medical wellness programmes, spa facilities, and a curated health-focused lifestyle — not just a logo on the door. Prices are higher than Naseem Al Jurf, but our clients buying SHA units are typically doing so for personal use or premium short-let income, not purely as a yield play. It's a different buyer profile entirely.
