1. Community overview
Arabian Ranches 3 is the newest phase of the Arabian Ranches master community by Emaar, designed with a more contemporary, lifestyle-led approach than its predecessors. Located along Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, the district focuses on modern architecture, active outdoor living, and community-centric planning. It attracts young families, first-time villa buyers, and end-users looking for a newer suburban environment with long-term growth potential.
2. Lifestyle & amenities
Shopping, dining & nightlife
Arabian Ranches 3 is supported by community retail centres and neighbourhood conveniences, with supermarkets, cafés, and daily services integrated into the master plan.
