Al Raha Beach Development is a beachfront project being built in Abu Dhabi, along the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway and will be located opposite to Al Raha Gardens. The AED 54 billion (US$ 14.7 billion) development is being built on reclaimed land at Al Raha Beach complex occupying an area of 6.8 million square meters (73.2 million square feet), with a total built-up area of 12 million square meters.

Al Raha Beach is set to become one of the greatest waterfront cities in the world. Along Abu Dhabi's sheltered coastline, islands are shaped by inlets and canals, criss-crossed by bridges. Eleven precincts will emerge within one waterfront development, each with its own distinct personality and appeal. Home to 120,000 residents enjoying picturesque views across the water, Al Raha Beach stretches over 11 km of dynamic living.

Khor Al Raha
Situated at the East side of Al Raha Beach, Khor Al Raha is a luxurious gated community of freehold apartments, townhouses and villas set in an exclusive residential enclave on the waterfront. Khor Al Raha is divided into two distinct areas - the mainland development and the exclusive private residential Islands - connected by a tree-lined boulevard, delightful canal walkways and busy promenades.

Al Bandar
Occupying a significant area of Al-Raha Beach, Al Bandar is one of the focal points for marine, leisure and family activities in the community. Set around an expansive central water feature, Al Bandar consists of luxury apartments, townhouses and villas embraced by waterside restaurants, cafes, shops and a leading luxury hotel.

Al Seef
Al Seef represents the social heartbeat of the Al Raha Beach. Here, a dazzling variety of contemporary apartments, family townhouses and prestigious villas effortlessly converge onto a boardwalk promenade bursting with energy and life. A large resort island with direct beach access lies just off the coast as part of Al Seef. It is home to a leading luxury hotel, courtyard summer houses, and designer boutiques, dining precincts and rejuvenating spas.

Al Wateed
Al Wateed is the stylish business component of the Al Raha Beach development. Designed around a central marina, it is the civic heart of the development, and the major transit centre for ferries, jet cats, water taxis and abras. The architecture at Al Wateed is contemporary, clean and highly imaginative - a combination of iconic office towers with busy waterside promenades, international dining facilities, serene floral walks and a public quay for private vessels.

Al Rumaila
Al Rumaila is a series of residential 'peninsulas' stretching into the waters of the Gulf, creating an atmospheric 'wharf-style' environment for those living here. It is positioned around a series of private marinas and waterways for the exclusive use of residents. Al Rumaila is relatively traditional in its look; the 40-storey glass structured tower in the centre lends a grandiose and contemporary landmark touch.

Al Lissaily
Al Lissaily is a uniquely considered design that encapsulates the water features of Al-Raha Beach and formalizes them to create a truly wonderful series of heritage waterside homes. Although very much a premium residential area, the Al Lissaily is situated so that all other areas of AlRaha Beach are easily accessible - all the facilities, attractions and amenities of the development are just a short journey away either by foot or by motor launch from your own private jetty.

Al Nakhel
In keeping with the environmental priorities embraced by ALDAR in all their developments, Al Nakhel embodies a harmonious ideal - a place where human aesthetics and nature are crystallized into one. Here, geometry, physics and cultural philosophies join seamlessly to create an inspired array of walkways, landscapes and exhibition buildings.

Al Razeen
Al Razeen at Al Raha Beach is built on the site of an existing theatre - inspiring the artistic theme behind this part of the development. Designed to cater for those of a creative nature, the homes here are built around a central marina comprising 8-14 storey waterfront apartment towers with stunning panoramic views. Amenities include local cafes and restaurants, recreation clubs and swimming pools.

Al Zina
Al Zina is the strategic gateway to the new Al Raha Beach Development where the natural beauty of Abu Dhabi is captured by the creation of a collection of formal Arabic gardens, courts and plazas in the tradition of gardens of the world.
The precinct is a mixed-use development containing luxury residential apartments, townhouses and villas, private boat moorings, retail high street with local supermarket and shops, waterside restaurants and cafes, 500-metre public beach with landscaped gardens, luxurious shared gardens and open spaces.
