MJL (Madinat Jumeirah Living)
Madinat Jumeirah Living (MJL) is a distinguished freehold residential community developed by Dubai Holding, located in the heart of Jumeirah / Umm Suqeim opposite the iconic Burj Al Arab. Set over a master-planned site of approximately 3.85 million sq. ft., MJL offers an exclusive resort-style neighbourhood inspired by traditional Arabesque architecture, blending modern luxury and timeless design.
About MJL (Madinat Jumeirah Living)
MJL comprises several residential clusters — Asayel, Rahaal, Lamtara, Jadeel, Al Jazi, Lamaa, and Riwa, among others. Buildings are low- to mid-rise (4- to ~16 floors), designed to preserve open spaces, courtyards, and pedestrian walkways.
Location & Connectivity
MJL’s location is one of its strongest selling points. Immediately opposite Burj Al Arab, it is just minutes from Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Wild Wadi Waterpark, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and the beachfront. Major roads such as Jumeirah Road, Al Wasl Road, Umm Suqeim Road, and Sheikh Zayed Road are easily accessible, giving residents excellent connectivity across Dubai. Opr+1

Infrastructure & Amenities

- Amenities: temperature-controlled swimming pools, fitness centres / gyms, rooftop terraces, communal BBQ / gathering spaces, nurseries / family play areas, retail & cafés within community boundaries.
- Residents benefit from proximity to world-class resorts, dining options at Madinat Jumeirah & Souk, access to beaches and waterpark.
Investment Appeal
- MJL is among the few freehold developments in Jumeirah / Umm Suqeim that allow full ownership to foreign buyers. That alone makes it very attractive for investors.
- The limited supply of low-rise, high-quality apartments in a prime location paired with resort-style amenities and views of Burj Al Arab & the sea give MJL strong potential for capital appreciation.
- Rental market: MJL’s location and luxury positioning generate high rental demand. Investors benefit from premium rental yields.
Ideal Residents
MJL is perfect for:
- Families looking for a secure, walkable, amenity-rich environment with proximity to beaches, schools and retail.
- Professionals who want easy access to Dubai’s business hubs, but prefer living in a quiet, luxury environment away from hectic high-rise districts.
- Investors seeking high-end real estate in a prestige location with long-term value and good rental potential.
