Arabian Ranches: Suburban Equestrian Living

Have you ever wanted to find a home that feels like a peaceful retreat, yet remains close to the city you love? Arabian Ranches offers a beautiful balance and gives you a green escape while still connecting you to the energy of Dubai. It’s an ideal choice for families seeking a safe and welcoming environment where children have ample space to play. For those who love the outdoors, it offers endless opportunities, whether you enjoy a round of golf, a morning ride on horseback, or a simple walk through the park. Ultimately, it’s a friendly community and a calmer way of life that feels like home. So, let's explore what makes Arabian Ranches the perfect answer to that question.

Developer Behind the Project

Arabian Ranches originated from Emaar Properties, one of Dubai's largest and most respected real estate developers. The first part, Arabian Ranches I, started in 2004. After its success, Emaar continued to expand the community with Arabian Ranches II and Arabian Ranches III. The growth demonstrates Emaar's commitment to creating well-planned, high-quality, complete, serene and welcoming lifestyle, renowned for paying close attention to even the smallest details. They also played a significant role in shaping Dubai's modern landscape, with notable projects including the Burj Khalifa.

Location and Connectivity

Living in Arabian Ranches gives you a calm, suburban feeling while staying connected to the city. It's a community thoughtfully planned by Emaar Properties, a developer known for creating places that feel like home. You will find many different neighbourhoods here. Each one has a variety of large homes and extensive green spaces.

Even with its quiet location, Arabian Ranches is so well-connected. It has direct links to major highways such as Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Those direct links make a drive to the city centre, the airport, or other key areas simple. The location offers a wonderful balance between a peaceful life and all the conveniences of the city.

Property Types and Prices

In Arabian Ranches, you'll find properties that offer a perfect place for families and individuals who need more room than an apartment. The community provides villas and townhouses that come in many sizes and styles, and they often have a warm, desert-inspired look that blends with the local area. Many homes also include a private garden.

The best benefit of a home here is the wonderful feeling of openness. Unlike some city areas where houses are located close together, Arabian Ranches provides a lot of space. The homes have ample gardens, and the roads are wide, so families have plenty of room for their children to play and explore.

Now that you have a feel for the homes, let's talk about what they cost.

Equestrian Facilities and Golf

If you have a real passion for horses, you'll find a lot of people who feel the same way here. The community has both an equestrian centre and a fantastic golf course. The Arabian Ranches Golf Club plays a big part in the area's identity. It features an 18-hole championship course, great for serious golfers but also welcoming to anyone who just enjoys the game. The club also has dining and a space for residents to get together. Then there is the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, a special facility with a wide range of activities for horse enthusiasts. You can take riding lessons from expert instructors, board your own horse, or just watch an exciting polo match. The strong connection to horses gives the community its unique feel and brings people with a shared passion together.

Amenities

The amenities in Arabian Ranches are conveniently located throughout the community. Everything is designed to be easily accessible, so residents do not have to travel far for their daily needs.

Schools

For families, a home is only as great as the schools nearby. You will be pleased to know that Arabian Ranches offers many wonderful options right within the community. Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) and Ranches Primary School are both located inside the community, which makes school mornings simple and stress-free. For other great choices just a short drive away, you will find GEMS Metropole School Motor City, located in Motor City, about a 10-minute drive. GEMS Metropole School Al Waha is located in Al Waha, about 15 minutes away. For younger children, a great nursery option like Raffles Early Childhood Centre is also right here in the community.

Healthcare 

When you need medical care, it's a comfort to have quality clinics close by. Arabian Ranches offers a range of healthcare options right within the community. You have Mediclinic Arabian Ranches, a trusted name, located inside the neighbourhood. You will also find Aster Clinic at the Ranches Souk, and Medcare Medical Centre located at the Arabian Ranches 3 Souk.

Parks and Green Spaces 

The great thing about living here is that you'll find green spaces everywhere, not just in one place. While the parks don't have individual names, they are located throughout all the neighbourhoods, so a park is never far from your home. The community is also home to three beautiful lakes, Alma, Al Reem, and Palmera, which are perfect for a quiet stroll. It’s wonderful because the whole community feels like one big, beautiful park.

Retail and Restaurants

When it comes to daily life, Arabian Ranches makes things so simple. You will find everything you need right in the community. The main hub is The Ranches Souk, a great spot with a Carrefour Market, cafes, and a variety of other shops. And when you want to relax or connect with friends, you have a number of lovely restaurants within the community and at the nearby golf club. Options like Ranches Restaurant and Maison Mathis are perfect for a relaxed meal, while Birdies Sports Lounge and Al Arrab are also great for a get-together.
