Location and access
- Inland in the Dubailand area. DAMAC's community page does not give drive times in the text we could read, so we don't quote any.
- No metro. Plan for a car.
- DLD land area: to be confirmed from your title deed or Oqood.
Ownership
Dubai's published freehold instruments (Regulation No. 3 of 2006 and the later regulations and resolutions up to 2022) list land by plot number, with boundaries on maps that are not published online [3]. None of them names DAMAC Hills or the land area it sits in, so we cannot yet point to the instrument that designates it (to be confirmed). Projects in DAMAC Hills are marketed to all nationalities, but freehold status is set plot by plot. Check the exact unit in the DLD Property Status Enquiry before paying anything [4]. See Dubai freehold areas.
