Largely under development now, this region of Dubai is anchored by the world's largest man-made port in Jebel Ali. There has been a surge in the interest for properties around the Jebel Ali Free Zone and this has lead to the development of several large projects in the area, such the Green Community, Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai Investment Park and the Arabian Canal.

West Dubai will also be home to Al Maktoum International Airport - Dubai's second airport and the world's largest airport and the Nakheel Harbour and Tower, which is expected to be over one km tall.

Offshore, Dubai's second Palm Island, the Palm Jebel Ali and Waterfront are ongoing developments.
