About Sobha Hartland
Sobha Hartland is a waterfront community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, developed by Sobha Realty, launched in 2014 and now one of the established residential areas in the district. It covers around 8 million sq ft and was planned as a family-oriented neighbourhood, with around 30% of the area dedicated to green spaces, often referred to as a “green island” within urban Dubai.
Sobha Hartland includes completed, move-in-ready apartment buildings and villas, alongside newer off-plan phases and upcoming building launches. The area was later expanded with Sobha Hartland 2, a separate master community located next to the original development.
Location & Connectivity
Sobha Hartland is located in the north-eastern part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, close to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay. The community is next to Dubai Water Canal and faces Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, with direct access to Ras Al Khor Road (E44), Al Ain Road (E66) and Al Meydan Road.
Ras Al Khor Road connects the community with Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour and areas across central Dubai, while Al Ain Road provides access towards Dubai’s southern districts. Al Meydan Road links Sobha Hartland with Meydan and surrounding communities.
