Families wanting a gated villa lifestyle

Overview

Arabian Ranches is Dubai's original gated villa community, a quiet green enclave built around an equestrian centre and golf course. It's firmly car-dependent and far from the city buzz, but for families who want space, safety, and a real garden, nothing in Dubai compares at the price. The Ranches 2 and 3 extensions have kept it fresh.
