What the project is
Sobha took an entire island under its master plan: its own shoreline, an eco park, an 18-hole golf course, a yacht club and a helipad in one scheme. By distance — fifty minutes to Dubai, thirty to Sharjah and ten to Al Marjan with its Wynn under construction.
Sales are open: apartments from AED 1.28 million, villas from 10.6 million — the developer’s figures, and there is nothing to weigh them against: other supply for a foreigner in this emirate barely exists.
That is the defining feature: the Umm Al Quwain market effectively equals this one project. No secondary market, no resale history, no neighbouring schemes to check a price against — we take this apart in detail on the emirate’s page.
How to price a project like this
First: what is bought is a years-long master plan, not a finished house. The island’s infrastructure — roads, a school, shops — arrives in phases along with the housing, and living beside construction will take years.
Second: the neighbourhood with Al Marjan cuts both ways. Ten minutes to the Wynn casino lifts interest in the northern emirates as a whole — and pulls away the buyer choosing between the two bets.
Third: the exit. You will be selling to the same kind of buyer you were, and that buyer arrives at a new market while the project is in the news. The horizon here is long by definition.
What to check before buying
Escrow: the project account and that its name matches your phase.
The payment schedule and the share due at handover — and what closes the tail if selling before completion does not work out.
The assignment threshold in the contract: for a project with this horizon it is the central clause.
And the infrastructure sequence: in which year the plan delivers what you are actually buying — the beach club, the golf, the school.

Other communities
Al Marjan Island UAE Al Marjan Island — four reclaimed islands reaching 4.5 km out to sea, and the only address in the UAE with a casino under construction. Wynn opens in September 2027, and the entire Ras Al Khaimah market is priced against that date. 
Mina Al Arab UAE RAK Properties’ coastal master development around a mangrove lagoon: 18 kilometres of shoreline, Anantara and InterContinental, overwater villas — with Hayat Island as the residential core. 
Al Hamra Village UAE The emirate’s oldest resort community: golf, a marina, a mall and the Waldorf Astoria in one village — and the liveliest resale market in Ras Al Khaimah per our stock. 
Aljada UAE The largest project in Sharjah’s history and its downtown under construction: 25,000 homes, half a million square metres of offices, three schools and a four-kilometre retail boulevard in one master plan. 
Masaar UAE Three thousand villas and townhouses among fifty thousand trees: seven gated districts linked by a green spine, and Sharjah’s flagship villa community. 
Billionaire Row UAE Billionaire Row — three kilometres of Dubai Water Canal frontage where the towers give way to buildings of 13 to 100 homes: Foster + Partners, Cavalli, Four Seasons, Mr. C. One penthouse here changed hands for AED 183 million. 
Peninsula UAE Seven towers on the Dubai Canal promenade sharing one podium with pools and a gym, its own waterfront and retail at street level. Handed over — a rare case where a community can be seen in full rather than in renders. 
Mira Coral Bay UAE A beachfront resort community in Ras Al Khaimah: fourteen partner brands, two beach clubs and several five-star hotels inside one masterplan. 
Mira Ocean Estates Oman Nine hectares on the shore in Salalah: branded apartments and villas around a five-star hotel, a medical wellness centre and a private beach. 
Mira Verde Georgia Georgia's first branded master community: an 18-hole golf course, a European school and homes from 38 m² at an entry price well below Dubai's.
