Dubai
Deira

Al Nakheel Resort is an exclusive residential enclave located along the Arabian Gulf on the International Gold Coast of Dubai. An “Oasis in the desert” was developed by enveloping the residential clusters in landscape and water and providing waterfront views and access, with private boat docks, to every villa residence. The community provides a variety of landscapes from formal and ceremonial to recreational and wild. A man-made Grand Canal 2 kilometers long is the centrepiece of the community. The Grand Canal is lined on both sides with public recreational landscapes. A formal “urban” park in a long arc that traverses one side of the canal, similar to a traditional European corniche, is complemented across the canal by a naturalistic park sloping down to the waters edge.

Islands within the Grand Canal are botanical sanctuaries accessible by bridges and boats. The Garden Canal waterways interconnect the perimeter Boundary Canals to the Grand Canal, allowing uninterrupted water travel throughout the entire site.
