About the District

Strategically positioned between Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah on UAQ’s western coastline, Downtown UAQ benefits from direct access to E11 and E311 highways. It lies within 30 to 40 minutes of Sharjah, Ajman, and Dubai International Airport.

The journey of Downtown Umm Al Quwain by Sobha Realty began as a visionary collaboration between Sobha and the UAQ government, with the goal of transforming a pristine, untouched stretch of coastline into a world-class, master-planned destination that draws residents and tourists from around the world.

 

Recognising the emirate’s untapped potential, abundant natural beauty, and strategic location between Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, planners set out to create a sustainable ‘city within a city’ that starts a new era of economic growth, tourism, and the development of high-quality residential and commercial spaces.

Foundations for the project were laid by years of environmental studies to preserve mangroves and beaches, infrastructure planning, and zoning to create distinctive districts. Downtown UAQ will not only meet growing demand for premium yet affordable coastal living, but also to establish UAQ as a vibrant business and leisure hub.
