ABOUT AL THANYAH SECOND
Al Thanyah Second (Al Thanyah 2), also referred to as Al Medhmar, is a less-developed sector in Dubai’s Al Thanyah master area. According to some sources, a significant portion of this community includes the Jebel Ali Racecourse, which limits large-scale residential development. Despite this, there are some villa and small residential offerings, making it a niche option for those looking for larger, isolated properties rather than high-rise apartment living.
IN A NUTSHELL
- Part of the Al Thanyah master community (community code 384)
- Largely occupied by the Jebel Ali Racecourse
- Limited residential development: some villas and small apartments
- Access to nature and open greenery due to racecourse
- Not a dense residential hub — more suited to niche buyers or tenants
COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
Al Thanyah Second is not a typical residential district. Its large open spaces, due to the racecourse, make it less dense compared to other Dubai neighborhoods. Demand might come from:
- Wealthier individuals wanting larger villas
- Investors seeking unique plots or bespoke homes
- Entities that value proximity to racecourse / event spaces
- Public amenities such as large parks may be less prominent compared to more “built-up” communities, but the trade-off is space and exclusivity.
PROPERTIES IN AL THANYAH SECOND
- Villas: There are villa listings (2-bed + study + maid) in Al Thanyah 2.
- Apartments: Studios are available (a 460 sq ft studio for rent).
- Plots / Land: Given the racecourse presence, there may be limited usable land for new large residential projects — but detailed land-plot data is not well documented.
- Commercial: Very limited residential-commercial mix documented; more land may be used for event or race-related purposes.
RENTAL TRENDS IN AL THANYAH SECOND
Based on current listings:
- Studio Apartment: AED ~ 80,000 / year
- Villas (2-bed + study + maid): Around AED 199,000 / year
Because there are very few listings, the rental trends are not stable or wide-ranging.
SALE TRENDS IN AL THANYAH SECOND
- 1-Bedroom Apartment: A 1-bedroom unit is listed for AED 1,450,000.
- Other Residential / Land: Very limited sale listings — substantial data is lacking, likely due to low residential development or racecourse occupancy.
POPULAR BUILDINGS / DEVELOPMENTS
Due to the limited residential footprint, there are no well-known apartment towers in Al Thanyah Second like in other Thanyah zones. Most of the “residential” offering is villa-style or open land. Some nearby pockets could perhaps be tied to The Greens, but that is not clearly documented for Thanyah 2 specifically.
TRANSPORTATION & CONNECTIVITY
- Road Access: The area lies west of central Dubai and has road links; (proximity to Springs 6 and Barsha-area roads)
- Nearby Landmarks: Jebel Ali Racecourse is a defining feature
- Public Transport: Because it's less developed, public transport options may be fewer; bus availability is not clearly documented in real estate listings.
PLACES OF WORSHIP
- No strong public data on major mosques inside Al Thanyah Second.
- Given the low density, residents likely rely on mosques in neighboring communities such as The Greens or Al Barsha.
SCHOOLS & NURSERIES
- Nearby schools include Dubai International Academy (Emirates Hills).
- Nurseries are not well documented specifically in Al Thanyah 2 — likely fewer due to low residential density.
CLINICS & HOSPITALS
There is limited data on health-care facilities within Al Thanyah Second — residents may need to go to nearby districts (e.g., Al Barsha, The Greens) for clinics/hospitals.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS / REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK
- Given the racecourse occupying a large portion of the area, large-scale residential expansion is unlikely unless racecourse land is repurposed.
- The niche nature (villas, plots) suggests limited but high-value investment opportunities.
- If demand for “quiet, large-plot homes” grows, the area could attract more bespoke property development, but this is speculative.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
- Very low residential density — not ideal if you want a bustling neighborhood.
- Property choices are limited (few apartments, few villas).
- Public infrastructure (shops, mosques, schools) may be less developed relative to Dubai’s typical residential communities.
- May not have the same rental liquidity as high-density communities.
- The available information suggests Al Thanyah Second is not a major residential hub.
- It is more suited to investors looking for unique plots or villas, or to residents desiring privacy and space.
- If you are looking for active apartment rental or high-density living, this probably is not the best area.
