Area Overview
Description
Wahat Al Zaweya is an incredibly massive, eco-friendly master development strategically located in the Faqa corridor along the E66 highway connecting Dubai and Al Ain. Originally conceived as an exclusive weekend retreat for UAE nationals, the project has violently evolved into a full-scale community featuring gigantic land plots, luxury villas, and desert sanctuaries. It is one of the absolute first projects in Abu Dhabi to fiercely offer freehold land for custom builds to Emirati citizens. The area is the ultimate destination for those seeking extreme privacy, nature-centric living, and sprawling estates far from the urban chaos.
