Lunaya by Zaya off Sheikh Zayed Road

Lunaya by Zaya at a glance

Saih Shuaib 1: where Lunaya meets Sheikh Zayed Road

The developers place Lunaya off Sheikh Zayed Road, with three lane entry and exit on both sides of the road. The DLD records the plot in the Saih Shuaib 1 area. Drive times published by the developers:

• The Outlet Village and Dubai Parks and Resorts: 5 minutes
• Expo City and Dubai South: 12 minutes
• Jebel Ali Beach, Jebel Ali School and Palm Jebel Ali: 14 minutes
• Ibn Battuta Mall: 17 minutes
• Dubai Marina: 22 minutes

Lunaya dominates the area's sales: from October 2025 to September 2026 the DLD registered 619 property sales in Saih Shuaib 1, and 406 of them, about two in three, were Lunaya contracts. It is the only Saih Shuaib 1 project with 50 or more sales in the DLD data NAHY uses.

The Bloom, The Rise, The Dune and The Sol: the four Lunaya homes

The developers group the 564 homes in small enclaves and do not publish how many of each type there are. For The Rise, NAHY confirms the bedroom count on the floor plan.

Swimmable lagoons and a 4.5 km trail: life inside the plan

The developers say less than 30% of the land is built on and 65% is green space. Around the homes they list:

• 900,000 sq ft of swimmable lagoons, an outdoor lagoon cinema and lagoon dining pop-ups
• A 4.5 km running and cycling trail, tennis, basketball, padel, pickleball and a skate park
• A gym and spa, a wellness studio and a yoga lawn
• An indoor kids club, playgrounds, a dog park and a community centre
• Supermarkets, a pharmacy and co-working

With the project 1.31% built at the last DLD inspection, these are the developers' plans, not finished facilities.

442 of 564 registered: what is still worth asking the developer

Lunaya filled the register fast. Registered on 20 April 2026, it had 406 sales by the end of September and 36 more in October, 442 by 29 October 2026. Resales of contracts count as sales, so at least 122 homes had no registered sale on that date. On 11 November 2026 the developers' site still invited buyers to request early access to villa selections, without a count of what is left.

NAHY handles a Lunaya enquiry in three steps:

1. Ask the developer which home types and enclaves are still open, and which homes face a lagoon.
2. Fix the date in writing. NAHY asks for the completion date in the contract, against the DLD's 31 March 2029.
3. Check resale. Buyers from April 2026 can sell their contracts; NAHY checks the Oqood, the amount paid into the Commercial Bank of Dubai escrow account and the developer's no objection certificate.

For investors: Lunaya is a family villa community in an area with a small rental market today. Ejari recorded 255 rent contracts in the last 12 complete months of data in Jabel Ali Hills, the existing community the DLD records in Saih Shuaib 1. A buyer is investing mainly in the land, lagoons and homes as they are delivered; NAHY gives no yield figure. Investors can WhatsApp +971 55 650 7737 and ask which Lunaya home types have resale contracts.

Zaya and FIVE Holdings, the partners behind Lunaya

Lunaya is a joint venture between Zaya, whose founder and CEO is Nadia Zaal, and FIVE Holdings, led by its chairman and chief executive, Kabir Mulchandani. The Lunaya site says the partners have developed and delivered more than USD 10 billion of real estate.

The DLD company, Lunaya Zaya Real Estate Development L.L.C S.O.C, holds only this project. NAHY has no partnership with Zaya.
