The principal aim of The Lagoons is the enhancement of the Dubai Creek coastline to create a self-sufficient and mixed-use development across seven interlinking islands. This lush, green landscape with 40km of tranquil waterfront will ensure that the magnificence and diversity of nature can always be enjoyed as an integral part of daily life. It will be a world like no other.

This is the vision behind The Lagoons. To create a space where nature may flourish, while also providing all the requirements for elite modern living. World class commercial office space, business and retail properties, residences, hotels and leisure venues - all in a beautiful waterfront landscape that is alive with many different species of plants, birds and other wildlife. Our modern world interwoven with natural splendour, right in the heart of Dubai.

The Lagoons is situated in the heart of Dubai on the Dubai Creek adjacent to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The development is strategically located just 10 minutes from Dubai International Airport, via nearby Ras Al Khor Road and Nadd Al Hammar Road. There is easy access to Emirates Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, the major arterial routes in Dubai. The Lagoons can be reached by water from Bur Dubai, Deira and Sheikh Zayed Road. A new bridge will cross the creek to Al Jadaf. Boats and water taxis will run freely between the islands, while a light Railway passenger Train system will serve key locations throughout The Lagoons, and will interconnect with Dubai's main network. Or simply travel along the series of beautifully designed bridges which join the islands to one another.
