Elie Saab Phase 2 at Arabian Ranches 3: Emaar's Designer Villa Community
Emaar Properties developed this project in collaboration with fashion house Elie Saab, bringing a distinctive design identity to Arabian Ranches 3. Phase 2 continues that partnership with 4- and 5-bedroom villas in what has become one of Dubai's most established gated villa corridors. The Elie Saab branding sets the sub-community apart visually, but the underlying framework is Emaar's standard master-planned infrastructure: maintained landscaping, clean streets, and a community structure built around family living.
Living at the Edge of the City: What Arabian Ranches 3 Actually Means
Arabian Ranches 3 sits in the interior of Dubai, accessed primarily via Al Qudra Road. The drive to Downtown Dubai runs roughly 30 minutes in normal traffic; Dubai Marina is 35 to 40 minutes. That distance is the defining trade-off for anyone evaluating this location. You are far enough from the centre that daily errands require a car, but the payoff is scale: larger plots, quieter roads, and a neighbourhood designed for families rather than commuters.
Within the master community, the Elie Saab sub-community carries a named address that distinguishes it from the broader Arabian Ranches 3 inventory. Sub-community branding at this level tends to hold relevance for resale, particularly among buyers who actively seek out the Elie Saab collaboration.
Villas from AED 4.82 Million: What the Price Spread Tells You
Pricing runs from AED 4,820,888 to AED 6,110,888, a spread of roughly AED 1.29 million. That gap is straightforward to explain: it maps almost entirely to the bedroom count.
The 4-bedroom villas (Types A, B, and C) start at AED 4,820,888 and cover approximately 4,635 to 4,653 sq ft. The 5-bedroom units (Types A and B) start at AED 6,110,888 and range from 5,422 to 5,945 sq ft. The size step up is meaningful: the largest 5-bedroom unit is nearly 1,300 sq ft bigger than the largest 4-bedroom.
The buyer at the lower end of the range is typically a family that wants a large private villa in a gated Emaar community at a price point below Emaar's premium-tier releases. The upper end suits buyers who need the extra bedroom or want the most floor space available in this phase.
Pool, Gym, and Gardens: The Shared Facilities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Leisure | Shared Pool, Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security, Security |
The amenity set is functional. A shared pool, gym, children's play area, and landscaped common areas cover the baseline expectations for a gated villa community at this price. The on-site restaurant provision is a practical convenience that reduces the need to drive out for casual meals. For buyers comparing this against other Emaar villa sub-communities, the list is consistent with the category without standing out at either end.
Completion Was December 2025
Construction started in April 2024 with a scheduled completion of December 2025. That completion date has now passed. The project is likely in handover or late-stage delivery as of mid-2026.
For a buyer entering at this stage, the off-plan construction risk is effectively resolved. The question now is about availability of specific units and current delivery status rather than whether the build will complete.
Getting In for 12%
| Payment Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 12% |
| During construction | 88% |
A 12% down payment on a villa priced at AED 4.82 million comes to approximately AED 579,000. That is a relatively low entry figure for a freehold villa at this price level. The remaining 88% was structured to pay through the construction period, which has now concluded.
For buyers considering this project today, the payment structure has largely played out. The relevant financial question is the current balance position and any final settlement terms rather than a phased plan stretching forward.
