Area guide

Living in Al Bahya

Al Bahya is a mainland area north of Abu Dhabi city, on the road towards Dubai. It is best known today as the home of Sobha City, a large master-planned community with apartments, townhouses and villas.

It suits buyers who want a self-contained, lifestyle-led community with more space than the islands offer, and who are comfortable driving for the city.

Schools and everyday needs

Sobha City is a new community, so its schools, retail and services will arrive in phases. Until they do, neighbouring districts and the city provide established options, so check what is planned for the phase you are buying.

Beaches, parks and leisure

Reports on the masterplan describe a waterfront promenade, a marina and a golf course alongside landscaped open space. Because these are plans, check delivery timelines. The coast and the islands remain a short drive away.

Getting around

Al Bahya lies near the E10 and E12 corridors, with Zayed International Airport and Yas Island described in reports as close by. Dubai is also reachable by road along the coast. Travel times vary with traffic.
