The Oasis by Emaar: Complete Buyer's Guide (2026)

Emaar doesn't launch small. The Oasis is one of the biggest villa communities the developer has put into the ground in Dubai: lagoon-facing, 4 to 6 bedrooms, starting from AED 7.9 million. The payment structure is 80/20 across the construction period, with handover targeted for 2027–2028.

This guide covers what you're actually buying, what it costs, and whether the investment case holds up.

Key Takeaways

4-bedroom villas start from AED 7.9 million; 5-bedroom and mansion configurations are available at higher price points. The payment structure is 80/20: 80% in construction-stage installments, 20% on handover, with no interest applied. Handover is targeted for 2027–2028 depending on phase. At AED 7.9M, every unit at The Oasis qualifies buyers for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa (minimum threshold: AED 2M). The community is in Dubai Land, approximately 30–35 minutes from Downtown Dubai

Where Is The Oasis by Emaar?

The Oasis is in Dubai Land, between Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road (E311). Downtown Dubai is roughly 30–35 minutes. Dubai International Airport, about 25. Dubai Marina, closer to 40.

That's not a central Dubai commute, and you should go in knowing that. If you work in DIFC five days a week and hate driving, this community won't suit your lifestyle. If you are looking for a private garden, a lagoon at your doorstep, and room for the kids to actually run around, Dubai Land is exactly where you should be looking.

The surrounding area has matured alongside Dubai Hills Estate and Arabian Ranches to the west. Community retail and F&B are part of The Oasis masterplan, though they'll build out progressively as each phase completes.

What Villa Types and Prices Are Available at the Oasis by Emaar?

The Oasis offers 4, 5, and 6-bedroom villas plus a mansion tier for buyers who want the largest plots. Emaar has launched the development in phases, and pricing has shifted with demand across each one.

4-bedroom villas typically run 4,000–5,500 sq ft of built-up area with a private garden. The plots are generous. This is the right product for buyers who want outdoor space, a private pool option, and a home that doesn't end at a balcony railing.

One thing worth knowing: off-plan pricing and resale pricing are different channels. Buying direct from Emaar means paying the current phase price. Buying a resale unit from an early investor means paying whatever the market has moved to since their original purchase. Our team of RERA-licensed brokers can show you both and let you compare.

How Does the 80/20 Payment Plan Work?

The Oasis runs on an 80/20 developer payment plan. No interest. It's a construction milestone schedule, not a mortgage product.

The structure works as follows:

Each installment is triggered by a verified build milestone: foundation, structure, façade, and so on. Under RERA regulations, your payments sit in a dedicated escrow account and can only be released for construction costs tied to this specific project. That's a real protection, not a formality.

What this plan requires is cash-flow discipline. You'll need to hit each milestone payment on schedule regardless of what else is happening in your finances. Model your obligations across the full 2025–2027 window before signing. Affordability at the booking stage isn't the same thing as affordability across three years.

For buyers who'd rather use bank financing, UAE mortgage products are available for off-plan properties. Non-residents typically need a 25–40% down payment depending on the lender. Full details in our guide to buying property in Dubai as a foreign national.

What Is Emaar's Track Record on Delivery?

Emaar Properties is listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM). In 2023, Emaar reported revenue exceeding AED 26 billion (Emaar Properties, 2023 Annual Report). As of 2025, the company had delivered over 80,000 residential units in Dubai: Downtown Dubai, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches 1, 2, and 3, Emaar Beachfront, Creek Harbour.

That matters when you're buying off-plan. Developer risk is real. It's one of the reasons RERA's escrow regulations exist. But a developer's history of completed masterplan communities is the most meaningful signal you have before handover.

Our view: For off-plan purchases in this price bracket, developer credibility is the single most important due diligence variable. Emaar is about as low-risk as off-plan gets in Dubai.

What Amenities Does The Oasis Include?

The Oasis is built around crystal lagoons and landscaped waterways. The amenity package is what you'd expect at AED 7.9M and above.

Community features:

• Crystal lagoons with direct waterfront access from villa plots
• Swimming and recreational lagoon areas
• Cycling and jogging tracks
• Landscaped parks and green corridors
• Planned community retail and F&B within the masterplan
• Children's play areas and family amenity zones

This is a car-dependent community. That's standard for large villa developments in Dubai, and it's worth being clear about upfront. The lifestyle proposition is private space, water access, and greenery at scale.

Full amenity buildout arrives progressively. Phase 1 areas will be further along on completion day than later phases. Know which phase you're buying into.

Is The Oasis a Good Investment?

The investment case is straightforward to describe and genuinely hard to call. Emaar needs to deliver the masterplan. Dubai needs to keep attracting international buyers. Dubai Land needs to keep maturing as a residential belt. All three look very likely.

Comparable villa communities:

The Oasis doesn't have a completed trading history yet. Any yield figure you're quoted before handover is a projection based on comparable communities, not a confirmed return. If someone presents you with a specific guaranteed percentage on an undelivered asset, that's a flag, not a data point.

The Golden Visa case is cleaner. Every unit at The Oasis starts from AED 7.9 million, well above the AED 2 million minimum for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. The visa covers the buyer, a spouse, children of any age, and parents. It renews every 10 years with no minimum UAE residency time required.

This is a strong buy for buyers who want a primary residence or a long-term hold in a community Emaar will actually deliver. For anyone hunting short-term gains: off-plan in this bracket doesn't work that way. You need patience and a five-year-plus horizon.

How Do You Buy The Oasis as a Foreign National?

Dubai Land is a government-designated freehold zone. Any nationality can buy, hold, and sell property at The Oasis with full title ownership registered with the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency, no local sponsor, no UAE bank account required.

The buying process:

• Confirm availability and current pricing with a RERA-licensed broker. Phase inventory changes often.
• Reserve the unit with a 10% booking deposit and sign the Sales and Purchase Agreement directly with Emaar.
• Pay construction installments according to the milestone schedule in your SPA across 2025–2027.
• Complete DLD registration. The property is registered in your name and a title deed is issued.
• Pay the final 20% on handover and collect the keys.
