Majan Dubai Area Guide 2026: Location, Rent, Property & Connectivity

Majan is a mixed-use residential district in Dubailand, around Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), close to IMG Worlds of Adventure and Global Village (both about 5 km by road). Homes are mostly apartments, from studios to three-bedrooms. Bayut's average asking figures put a one-bedroom at AED 71,000 a year to rent or AED 908,000 to buy (checked October 2026). There is no Metro station in Majan, so most residents drive.

This guide covers where Majan is, what the roads and distances look like, what rent and sale prices were being asked, how to get around without a Metro line, and how Majan sits beside Arjan and DLRC on the same Dubailand side of the city. It is a factual area guide, not a forecast. Figures are dated October 2026 and will change.

Where Is Majan?

Majan is in Dubailand, along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). Bayut and Property Finder both list it as a community in Dubailand. Property Finder lists Al Barari, Living Legends and Global Village as neighbours. OpenStreetMap places Majan in Wadi Al Safa 3.

Distances by Road From Majan

Distances and times come from the public OSRM router on OpenStreetMap data, measured from a point in the middle of Majan (checked October 2026). They assume light traffic. Rush hour on E311 and event nights at Global Village can add a lot, so test the drive at the time you would actually make it.

Majan Location Map

The marker shows the middle of Majan. Nearby landmarks, with the road distances from the table above: IMG Worlds of Adventure (about 5 km), Global Village (about 5.5 km), DLRC (about 10 km), Dubai Silicon Oasis (about 12 km), Arjan (about 12 km) and Academic City (about 13 km). The E311 runs along the district.

Majan Next to Arjan and DLRC

Majan, Arjan and DLRC sit in the same broad belt of Dubailand, and the drive between each pair is short. Bayut places Arjan at the junction of E311 and Umm Suqeim Street (D63), and DLRC at the junction of Al Ain Road (E66) and Emirates Road (E611). Pearlshire builds in two of the three: Bond Enclave in Arjan and Bond Living in DLRC. Our guides to living in Arjan and living in DLRC cover those two in depth.

These are average asking rents (yearly) and asking prices from Bayut listings over the previous 12 months, checked October 2026, not registered tenancy contracts or transactions. On those asking figures Majan has the lowest one-bedroom asking price of the three, while its one-bedroom asking rent sits between DLRC and Arjan and its two-bedroom asking rent is below Arjan's. Averages blend very different buildings and ages of stock, so compare specific buildings and floor plans before you read much into a gap of a few thousand dirhams. This compares listing numbers, not which area is better.

Rent and Property Prices in Majan

Source: Bayut's Majan area guide, based on its listings over the previous 12 months (checked October 2026). These are average asking rents and asking prices (Bayut, checked October 2026), not registered tenancy contracts or transactions, and numbers on the DLD site can differ. Annual service charges depend on the building. Check the building on the DLD Service Charge Index rather than relying on a typical figure, and see our guide to Dubai service charges.

Asking rents and registered rents

Portal asking rents show what landlords are advertising. Registered tenancy contracts show what was recorded. The two use different methods and periods, so do not treat an asking rent as an achieved rent, and check the DLD or Dubai REST rental index for a specific building.

Ready and off-plan stock

Majan's sales market can include both ready and off-plan stock, depending on the building. Do not compare a new-launch price per sq ft directly with an older completed building without separating the two. For a specific purchase, check recent DLD transactions for the building or project rather than relying only on the area-wide average. Our property valuation guide shows how.

What You Can Buy or Rent

• Apartments: Bayut lists studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, mostly in low to mid-rise buildings.
• Commercial units: Bayut also lists ground-floor shops, commercial plots and mixed-use land.
• Villas: Property Finder's page shows villas among recent sales, though apartments dominate.
• Ownership: property portals market Majan as a freehold community, but buyers should confirm the ownership status of the specific plot and unit through the Dubai Land Department before purchase. Foreign ownership rights attach to the registered property, not merely to an area label on a listing portal. Our freehold areas guide and DLD fees guide cover the rules and costs.

Connectivity: Roads, Metro and Buses

• Roads: E311 is the main road both guides name for Majan. On the table above, Dubai Hills Mall, Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall are 15 to 23 km away by road.
• Metro: the RTA describes the Dubai Metro as the Red and Green lines, and there is no station in Majan or Wadi Al Safa. Future Blue Line stations in Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City will change the wider eastern Dubailand transport network, but Majan remains a drive-to-station location based on the currently confirmed route. Some property listings mention a Metro link near the area, but they are not RTA sources, so check the RTA journey planner for your address.
• RTA Bus on Demand: the zone list on RTA's service page (updated 25 August 2026) does not include Majan. It does include Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Investment Park, Al Barsha, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City. Check current RTA service coverage for the exact building before relying on it.
• Fixed buses: routes and stops change, so use the RTA app for what serves your building.
• Practical result: plan on a car or ride-hailing for most trips, and budget for parking and fuel as well as rent.

The Blue Line is planned to open on 9 September 2029, with Academic City at the end of its longer branch. Our guides to the Blue Line and the Dubai Metro map show what it will and will not connect.

Daily Life: Shops, Food and Days Out

Majan has neighbourhood supermarkets, restaurants and everyday retail within the district, while larger leisure and retail destinations such as Global Village, IMG Worlds and Cityland Mall are a short drive away (each about 5 km by road). Bayut describes gardens, fountains and public squares inside the development, and Property Finder mentions parks and walking tracks. Families should check the current KHDA directory for schools in and around Majan and test the school-run journey during peak hours before choosing a building.

Pros and Cons

What works

• Average one-bedroom and two-bedroom rents sit below Arjan's on Bayut's figures.
• Global Village, Cityland Mall and IMG Worlds of Adventure are about 5 km away.
• Arjan, DLRC and Academic City are all within about 13 km.

What to weigh

• No Metro station, and Majan is not in the RTA's Bus on Demand zone list.
• Dubai Mall and Dubai Marina Mall are 23 to 25 km away by road, so a daily commute depends on a car and on traffic.
• Averages blend many buildings, so two apartments of the same size can rent at quite different prices.

These are asking rents, not registered tenancy contracts, and the building makes a large difference.

Q6: Can foreigners buy property in Majan?

Property portals market Majan as a freehold community, but buyers should confirm the ownership status of the specific plot and unit through the Dubai Land Department before purchase. Foreign ownership rights attach to the registered property, not merely to an area label on a listing portal. Our freehold areas guide explains how to check a location.

Q7: How does Majan compare with Arjan and DLRC?

All three sit on the Dubailand side of Dubai. Majan and Arjan have no Metro station, and DLRC is not on the Blue Line's published area list. On Bayut's asking figures, Majan's average one-bedroom rent (AED 71,000) is between DLRC (AED 61,000) and Arjan (AED 77,000), and its two-bedroom rent is lower than Arjan's. Majan is about 12 km from Arjan and 10 km from DLRC.

By road in light traffic, Majan is about 23 km and 23 minutes from Dubai Mall, and about 25 km and 22 minutes from Dubai International Airport, Terminal 3, according to OSRM routing checked in October 2026. Rush-hour traffic on E311 and Sheikh Zayed Road can add a lot, so allow extra time for peak trips.
