Tilal Al Ghaf
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.
