Discover Mirdif
Mirdif is an established residential district in eastern Dubai, positioned directly east of Dubai International Airport (DXB). Bordered by Al Mizhar to the north, Al Warqaa to the south, and Mushrif National Park to the east, the area developed organically from the 1990s onward into a suburban neighbourhood.
The district contains a combination of standalone villas, townhouses, duplex vertical villas, and low- to mid-rise apartments. Properties are distributed across non-gated streets alongside master-planned developments such as Uptown Mirdif, Shorooq, Ghoroob, and Mirdif Hills.
Rather than having a single master developer, Mirdif encompasses projects delivered by multiple developers, including Union Properties, Dubai Properties / Dubai Asset Management, Dubai Investments Real Estate Company, Majid Al Futtaim, and individual private plot owners.
