Dubai has announced the launch Al Layan Oasis — a large-scale deserted tourist complex that will become part of an investment package worth 4 billion dirhams. The 10 million square foot project will include a central lake, sports routes, camping and recreation areas.

This is an important signal for the real estate and investment market in the UAE: the city continues to actively develop natural and recreational destinations, increasing the attractiveness of the surrounding areas.

Why the project is important for the real estate market

The development of natural infrastructure has a direct impact on:

• improving the quality of life;
• growth in tourist traffic;
• increasing interest in residential projects near new destinations;
• strengthening the value of suburban and desert clusters.

The integration of Al Layan Oasis into the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan underscores the long-term nature of the initiative.

Infrastructure and availability

The project provides for:

• 1,000 parking spaces;
• 14 km of walking and cycling routes;
• raised panoramic paths;
• connection to existing Al Marmoom natural routes;
• the expected tourist flow is up to 330,000 people per year.

Such indicators enhance the development potential of nearby districts and create additional value for future development projects.

Ecotourism as a growth driver

Al Layan Oasis supports the concept of sustainable development and ecological tourism, which is in line with global trends. Dubai is consistently expanding the format of “green” spaces, creating a balance between urbanization and nature.

For investors, this means diversifying tourism infrastructure and increasing demand for facilities in new recreational areas.

Conclusion

Al Layan Oasis is not just a desert park, but an element of a strategic plan for the development of a sustainable and comfortable city. The project may become an additional growth driver for tourism and real estate, especially in the suburban and recreational sectors.
