About Sheikh Zayed Road

Sheikh Zayed Road is the main corridor through Dubai rather than a single community, so the register spreads its towers across several district names. What is recorded under this name is a small, high value slice of that corridor.

Method. Dubai Land Department registered transactions, rolling twelve months to September 2026. Residential units only. These figures come from our own market index and update when the index updates, so this page does not go stale.

Sheikh Zayed Road by the register, not by the brochure

Anyone can tell you a community is popular. Here is what was actually filed with the Dubai Land Department in Sheikh Zayed Road over the last twelve months.

8,062 rental contracts registered, at an average of AED 108,245 a year, which is AED 84 per square foot. On the sale side, 6 ready homes changed hands at an average of AED 4,122,000, or AED 4,683 per square foot.

That puts the gross yield on ready stock in Sheikh Zayed Road at 1.8%. We divide registered rent by ready sale price, never by an off plan launch price, because you cannot rent a home that has not been handed over.

Registered rents moved +4.6% against the twelve months before.

Check the shorter window before you commit. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -4.1%. Summer seasonality and a smaller sample both sit inside that figure, and we publish it rather than quote only the number that flatters the market.
