Al Furjan spans 560 hectares between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, developed by Nakheel and now home to close to 30,000 residents.

It's one of the few Dubai villa communities built with its own metro station, and rent here costs less than comparable villas in Jumeirah Park, Arabian Ranches, and Dubai Hills Estate.

A 4 bedroom villa in Al Furjan rents for AED 230,000 to 280,000 a year. A 5 bedroom costs AED 260,000 to 300,000 in the community's established phases and up to AED 380,000 in its newest ones.

A 6 or 7 bedroom home costs AED 400,000 to 500,000, depending on sub-community and plot size.

Al Furjan's villas are spread across three main phases: the established streets of Quortaj and Dubai Style, Nakheel's newer Murooj Al Furjan development, and the community's newest phase, Tilal Al Furjan.

Why Rent a Villa in Al Furjan?

Al Furjan has its own metro station, which almost no other Dubai villa community can offer, plus direct access to two of Dubai's main highways.

Dubai Marina, Ibn Battuta Mall, Expo City, and the Jebel Ali business district are all a reasonable drive away.

A 4 bedroom villa in Al Furjan's established phases costs AED 230,000 to 280,000 a year. The DLD-verified average for a 4 bedroom villa in Dubai Hills Estate over the past 12 months was AED 400,804, AED 120,000 to 200,000 more than a comparable Al Furjan villa.

You get the lower rent without giving up metro access, a combination few other Dubai villa communities offer, and it's the main reason Al Furjan has kept strong rental demand since its early phases were handed over.

Villas for Rent in Quortaj, Al Furjan

Quortaj is Al Furjan's second phase, completed by September 2016, at the southern edge of the community near Discovery Gardens and Yalayis Street (D57).

Villas and townhouses here carry a North African and Mediterranean design with an Emirati touch: green tile roofs, white paneled facades, and arched doorways, distinct from the flatter, more contemporary builds in Murooj and Tilal Al Furjan. Units range from 3 to 5 bedrooms, with 5-bedroom villas reaching 4,800 to 7,423 sq ft.

Annual rent for a villa or townhouse falls between AED 300,000 and 315,000 across the typical 3- and 4-bedroom mix, with 3-bedroom townhouses starting closer to AED 200,000.

Al Furjan Pavilion, a short drive from Quortaj, holds a Spinneys, 24 shops, 10 food and beverage outlets, a Medicentre clinic, and parking for more than 300 cars.

W Mart Fresh and Al Barakah Grocery operate within Al Furjan itself for smaller, more frequent grocery trips.

Quortaj has been occupied for close to a decade, longer than either of the other two sub-communities, so it has a longer track record of maintenance standards, resale activity, and tenant turnover to look into before you sign.

Villas for Rent in Murooj Al Furjan

Murooj Al Furjan is Nakheel's contemporary phase: 418 villas across 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom layouts, built in two sections, East and West.

It's near Al Asayel Street (D72) and Yalayis Road (D57), roughly 2.7 km from Jumeirah Park and 3.5 km from Jumeirah Islands. Construction finished in September 2024.

Annual rent falls between AED 315,000 and AED 390,000. The spread comes down to bedroom count and street rather than any pricing inconsistency: a 3-bedroom villa in Murooj West rents for close to AED 220,000, while a 5-bedroom in the same sub-community can exceed AED 400,000.

Half the sub-community's land is reserved for green space. As a resident, you get access to the Al Furjan Club: a 25-metre, six-lane lap pool, a separate shaded kids' pool, a gym with strength and cardio equipment and free weights, tennis courts, and McCafferty's Irish Pub & Restaurant. Murooj Al Furjan is currently the most requested sub-community in Al Furjan.

Villas for Rent in Tilal Al Furjan

Tilal Al Furjan is the newest and most premium of the three phases, with 4- and 5-bedroom villas in Tilal Al Furjan ranging from roughly 3,500 to 6,700 sq ft depending on plot and phase.

The villas sit on elevated ground, so upper-floor rooms get a clear view over the rest of the community.

Annual rent for a 4-bedroom villa falls between AED 270,000 and 380,000; a 5-bedroom averages closer to AED 450,000.

Several of the later villa packages here only completed handover in late 2025, so construction continues on a handful of streets even though most of the sub-community is already occupied.

You get the same Al Furjan Club amenities as Murooj residents, plus adult and children's pools, picnic and barbecue areas, and sports courts built directly into Tilal Al Furjan. It commands the highest rent of the three phases and offers the newest build quality.

In short: Quortaj gives you the lowest price and the longest track record. Murooj gives you the best combination of space and amenities. Tilal Al Furjan gives you the newest build and the highest elevation, at the highest cost of the three.

Al Furjan Metro Station and Route 2020

Al Furjan Metro Station opened on 1 January 2021 as part of Route 2020, the Red Line extension built to connect central Dubai to the Expo 2020 site.

The station is elevated, positioned above Gardens Boulevard on the boundary between Al Furjan and Discovery Gardens, and is one of seven stations on the route alongside Jebel Ali, The Gardens, Discovery Gardens, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Investment Park, and Expo City.

Jebel Ali station connects onto the main Red Line, giving you direct rail access to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, and the rest of the city, or a direct line toward Expo City.

This level of metro access is rare among Dubai's villa communities, but it isn't uniform across Al Furjan itself: villas in Al Furjan West and the streets of Quortaj closest to Gardens Boulevard are within walking distance of the station, while villas in Murooj and Tilal Al Furjan need a short drive, since both sub-communities sit further back from the boulevard.

The Real Cost of a Villa Beyond the Rent

A villa in Al Furjan costs meaningfully more to run day-to-day than an equivalent-sized apartment. Larger floor areas, private gardens, and, in many units, private pools push up electricity and water use.

Cooling costs climb sharply in summer, since a standalone villa exposes far more exterior wall and roof surface to direct heat than a single unit inside an apartment block.

Garden maintenance is entirely your responsibility as the tenant, whether you handle it yourself or pay for a gardening contract, and general upkeep falls to you rather than a building management team.

Most villas in Al Furjan are leased unfurnished, so furniture and appliances add to your move-in cost on top of rent and utilities.

Ask the previous tenant for their average monthly DEWA bill, particularly for a summer month, before you sign.

That figure tells you your real cost of living far more accurately than the advertised rent does.

Ejari, Your Contract, and Payment Terms

Every villa tenancy in Dubai, Al Furjan included, needs Ejari registration before it's legally valid.

Before signing, confirm: Ejari availability for the specific property, the security deposit amount (commonly 5% of the annual rent for an unfurnished villa), the number of cheques the landlord wants (commonly one to four a year, with fewer cheques sometimes reducing the total rent), any agency fee, the payment schedule, and who's responsible for maintenance during the tenancy.

Check the early exit clause, the renewal terms, and the exact move-in condition, backed by photos or a walkthrough, before you sign anything.

Things to Consider Before Renting a Villa in Al Furjan

Al Furjan's metro connection benefits villas near the station far more than those deeper into Murooj or Tilal Al Furjan. Confirm the actual walking distance yourself rather than going by the community's overall reputation for connectivity.
Several villa packages in Tilal Al Furjan only completed handover in late 2025, so construction continues on a limited number of streets.
Quortaj's decade-old landscaping is the most established in Al Furjan, but villas this age need closer scrutiny of maintenance history than a newly handed-over unit.
Utility costs come in considerably higher than an apartment's once cooling, garden upkeep, and pool maintenance are factored in.
Most villas are unfurnished, adding a real cost to your move-in budget on top of rent and the security deposit.
Asking rent and actual transacted rent for comparable villas frequently differ. Compare a few similar villas currently on the market before you agree to a figure.

Al Furjan vs Jumeirah Park vs Dubai South

Area	Best For	What to Expect
Al Furjan	Metro-connected villa living at a mid-range price	Direct metro access, mix of established and new sub-communities
Jumeirah Park	Tenants prioritising an established, higher-end villa community	Larger plots, mature landscaping, higher rent than Al Furjan
Dubai South	Budget-focused tenants comfortable with a longer commute	Lower rent, a community still developing around the airport and Expo City

Jumeirah Park costs more to rent than Al Furjan for a comparable villa: 3 bedroom homes average AED 275,000 to 360,000, and larger villas exceed AED 400,000, reflecting the community's more established infrastructure and larger plots. Dubai South rents for considerably less, with villas averaging around AED 130,000 a year, but delivers less built-out community infrastructure and a longer drive into central Dubai. Al Furjan occupies the middle ground on price while offering a level of transit access neither of the other two communities matches.

Villas vs Townhouses vs Apartments in Al Furjan

Property Type	Best For	Main Benefit
Villa	Families wanting a standalone home and full garden	Privacy, plot size, no shared walls
Townhouse	Tenants wanting villa-style living at a lower cost	Lower rent than a standalone villa, still with outdoor space
Apartment	Singles, couples, and tenants prioritising the metro	Lower cost, less maintenance, building amenities included

How much rent should I budget for a 4 bedroom villa in Al Furjan?

It depends on the sub-community. In Quortaj or Dubai Style, a 4 bedroom villa costs AED 200,000 to 280,000 a year.

In Murooj Al Furjan, budget AED 315,000 to 390,000 for the same bedroom count, since the villas are newer and larger.

In Tilal Al Furjan, a 4 bedroom costs AED 270,000 to 380,000 depending on the exact plot size, which varies more here than in the older phases.

Can I realistically live in a villa in Al Furjan without a car?

Only if your villa is close to the station. Villas in Al Furjan West and the parts of Quortaj nearest Gardens Boulevard are within walking distance of Al Furjan Metro Station and support a genuinely car-free commute into the city.

Villas deeper into Murooj or Tilal Al Furjan require a short drive or taxi ride to reach the station, which turns the metro into a convenience rather than a full replacement for a car.

Is any part of Al Furjan still under construction?

Several later villa packages in Tilal Al Furjan completed handover only in late 2025, so a limited number of streets there still carry construction activity. Quortaj, Murooj Al Furjan, and the older sections of Al Furjan are fully built out and settled.

Is garden maintenance included in villa rentals in Al Furjan?

No, in most cases. Villas in Al Furjan lease with the garden as the tenant's responsibility, either through personal upkeep or a paid gardening service.

Some landlords fold basic landscaping into community service charges, but this varies by sub-community and building. Confirm it directly with the landlord.

Is Al Furjan a good place to live for a family with school-age children?

Yes. The Arbor School, Delhi Private School, and The Winchester School Jebel Ali are all a short drive from the community, along with nurseries including Chubby Cheeks Al Furjan and Redwood Montessori. None are within walking distance of most villas, so factor school-drop-off driving time into your daily schedule even in a metro-adjacent villa.
