Dubai Land Department open dataAED 2,014/sqft (est.)
The DLD median for apartments in Dubai South is AED 1,399/sqft (as of 24 Sep 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the starting price and the smallest unit, so it is not compared: the gap appears once the register shows this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
We do not yet hold a DLD project registration number for Al Waha Residences. An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on dubailand.gov.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit. How to read the DLD register.

Our opinion, not investment advice; every input is on this page.
