Zabeel, also known as Za’abeel, is a centrally located, upscale Dubai district split into Za’abeel 1 and Za’abeel 2, known for leafy streets, villas and townhouses and a relatively low residential population. The community houses major landmarks, Zabeel Park, a 47.5‑hectare urban park that contains the Dubai Frame and recreational zones, and Zabeel Palace, the Al Maktoum ruling family’s official residence. Its proximity to Business Bay, Dubai World Trade Centre and major roads makes it a desirable, well‑connected neighbourhood blending royal heritage with green public space.
Options range from modern 1-bedroom apartments to ultra-luxury penthouses. Many units are in high-rise developments with premium facilities such as pools, gyms, and concierge services.
Certain parts of Za’abeel offer freehold ownership for expatriates, especially in newer luxury developments, while other sections remain leasehold.
Residents enjoy proximity to Zabeel Park, Dubai Frame, retail outlets, dining venues, and easy connectivity to metro stations.
The area features spacious apartments, green spaces, reputable schools nearby, and a calm, residential atmosphere, which makes it suitable for families.
