ABOUT AL AWIR SECOND
Al Awir Second (also known as Al Aweer 2) is a low-density suburban community located in the southern section of the Al Awir district in Dubai. Designated as Community 721 by Dubai Municipality, it sits east of Emirates Road (E611) and remains one of Dubai's largest non-urban residential and agricultural areas. Historically recognised for agriculture, camel breeding and expansive desert farms, Al Awir Second has gradually evolved into a residential destination featuring private villas, family compounds, labour accommodation and large land plots. The area appeals to residents seeking spacious properties away from the city's busy commercial districts while maintaining good highway connectivity.
