About Madinat Al Mataar

Madinat Al Mataar is a rapidly growing master-planned mixed-use and residential community in southwestern Dubai, enclosing Al Maktoum International Airport and the wider Dubai South area.

Overview and Community Identity

Madinat Al Mataar is the official community name designated by the Dubai Municipality under statistical code 521. Frequently referred to interchangeably with Dubai South or its former title, Dubai World Central (DWC), the area comprises approximately 75.7 to 142 square kilometers in southwestern Dubai. Initially proposed in 2005, the district has transformed from a desert expanse into a major commercial, logistics, aviation, and residential node centered around Al Maktoum International Airport.

Residential Districts and Main Projects

The community contains several major sub-developments and projects. Key residential zones include Emaar South, which is integrated with an 18-hole championship golf course and features extensive townhouse and villa developments. The Dubai South Residential District hosts projects such as The Pulse and the premium South Bay master development, which features townhouses, villas, and mansions built around a large crystal lagoon. The area is also seeing new off-plan launches like Azizi Venice—a massive waterfront lagoon development—and Inara Residence by Imtiaz Developments. Completed developments include the 10-storey serviced hotel apartment building, Damac Maison de Ville Tenora.

Infrastructure and Connectivity

Positioned at the heart of Dubai's southern growth corridor, Madinat Al Mataar is anchored by Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), which is being expanded to ultimately serve up to 260 million passengers annually. It borders Expo City Dubai to the north and is bounded by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) to the west, Emirates Road (E611) to the east, and Expo Road (E77) to the north. Public transportation is supported by public bus networks, taxi services, and proximity to the Expo 2020 Metro Station.
