About The Sobha City Community
Sobha City is the community designed around water, landscape and movement. The masterplan spans 38 million sq ft, with around 60% given to open and green spaces and more than 50,000 trees. Key features include the 2 km waterfront promenade with canals and dining outlets, the 20 km wellness loop for jogging and cycling, and the par-3 executive golf course. Schools, mosques and healthcare facilities are located within the development.
Three lifestyle principles shape daily life: Live, Connect and Restore. Homes are designed for natural light and privacy. Retail, promenades, courtyards, and social decks support community interaction. Water features, shaded pathways, and meditation zones offer quiet, restorative space. The masterplan aligns with Abu Dhabi's 2030 vision — landscape-led cooling, walkability, and reduced car dependency.
Transport Accessibility
Sobha City brings a quieter waterfront lifestyle to Al Bahiya, a growing residential area close to Zayed International Airport. With direct access to the E10 and E12 highways, residents can easily reach Abu Dhabi’s business, cultural and travel destinations while enjoying the privacy of a master-planned community.
The community is also close to Yas Island, one of Abu Dhabi’s main lifestyle and entertainment destinations. Waterfront restaurants, hotels, retail, events and family attractions are all nearby, making it easy to spend weekends by the marina, meet friends for dinner or enjoy family activities without long travel across the city.

Investment Opportunities
The investment appeal of Sobha City is driven by 3 key factors: limited freehold supply in Abu Dhabi, strong connectivity and long-term growth potential. The community is around 14 minutes from Zayed International Airport and close to Yas Island, where Disneyland Abu Dhabi is currently under development.
Prices start from AED 1.31M, with a 60/40 payment plan that spreads payments across the construction period. Phase 1 is expected to complete in December 2029. Demand from professionals, expatriates and the growing tourism sector is expected to support both rental returns and long-term property value growth.
