About The
Community

Tilal Al Ghaf is a flagship master community in Dubai by Majid Al Futtaim. It combines a large recreational lagoon, white-sand beaches, extensive green spaces and modern villa neighbourhoods to create a resort-style environment in the heart of the city.

Lagoon Al Ghaf

The lagoon area features light-colored sandy shores and provides access to clear, calm water suitable for swimming. It also supports several non-motorized water activities, including kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

The Park

Located at the centre of Tilal Al Ghaf, The Park consists of landscaped pathways, curated green areas, and clear lake features that create a setting focused on nature and wellbeing. The space supports a variety of activities throughout the year, including picnicking, outdoor gatherings at the amphitheatre, fitness programmes, children’s events, seasonal festivals, community markets, and open-air film screenings.

White Sandy Beaches

The white sandy beaches at Tilal Al Ghaf provide space for both leisure and activity. The area includes facilities for beach-appropriate sports, an outdoor fitness zone, and designated barbecue spots. Visitors can use the shoreline for casual recreation, sun exposure, or walking during sunset hours.

Health & Fitness

Tilal Al Ghaf features an integrated network of fitness routes, including approximately 11 kilometres of cycling paths and 18 kilometres of walking trails. These routes extend across the community, connecting more active zones with quieter natural areas and the surrounding urban environment.

FAQs

Is Tilal Al Ghaf freehold?

Tilal Al Ghaf is developed as a freehold community, meaning eligible buyers (including many non-residents, subject to UAE regulations) can typically own property outright in designated areas. Specific legal and eligibility details should always be confirmed at the time of purchase.

Is there public transport in Tilal Al Ghaf?

The community is primarily planned around road access and private vehicles. Bus or metro connectivity evolves over time across Dubai, so up-to-date public transport options should be checked closer to the time of moving in.

Are pets allowed?

Many master communities in Dubai do allow pets with certain conditions, but actual rules are set by community management and individual buildings or owners. Prospective residents should verify pet policies for their specific cluster or property.

What is the noise level like near the lagoon and beaches?

Areas closest to the lagoon and central facilities may experience more activity at weekends and during events, while inner residential streets are usually quieter. Noise experience depends on the exact plot and orientation.
