Tilal Al Ghaf area guide
Short answer: Tilal Al Ghaf is a Majid Al Futtaim community of villas and townhouses around Lagoon Al Ghaf, a recreational lagoon with white sandy beaches [1][2]. It has 11 km of cycling trails and 18 km of walking trails, and Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai is inside the community [1]. We have found no dated rent or price median for it from a source we trust, so we don't quote one.

Location and access
- Majid Al Futtaim describes the community as being in the heart of "new Dubai" [2]. We have not verified drive times from an official source, 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 Tilal Al Ghaf or the land area it sits in, so we cannot yet point to the instrument that designates it (to be confirmed). Projects in Tilal Al Ghaf 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.
