Amara: Majid Al Futtaim's Villa Community in Tilal Al Ghaf
Amara is a villa community by Majid Al Futtaim within the Tilal Al Ghaf master development, in the Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid area of Dubai. The project launched for booking in June 2024, with construction following immediately.
Tilal Al Ghaf: What the Location Means
Tilal Al Ghaf sits roughly in the centre of Dubai's inland expansion belt, positioned between Al Qudra Road and Hessa Street. For daily life, this translates to relatively quick access to the Emirates Road network and a 25-to-30-minute drive to Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina under normal conditions. The area is not close to a metro line, so a car is essential. That trade-off is a common one for buyers choosing land and space over transit proximity.
A Single Price, One Product Type
The listed price for Amara is AED 6,700,000, with identical minimum and maximum figures. This points to a standardised product at this pricing tier: buyers are choosing layout and bedroom count within a common price band rather than trading up through a price ladder. Amara includes 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, and 5-bedroom villas, with 4-bedroom units at 5,413 sq ft each.
At AED 6.7 million for a 4-bedroom villa of over 5,400 sq ft, the per-square-foot figure sits at roughly AED 1,237. A buyer at this price point is typically either an end-user upgrading from an apartment or a smaller villa, or an investor seeking a branded community within a master plan.
The Villas Themselves
Amara offers villas only, no apartments, no townhouses. Layout types include Type A and Type B configurations across three, four, and five bedrooms. Among the four-bedroom options, corner unit variants exist: Type B Left Corner and Type A Right Corner. Corner units typically offer more outdoor space and natural light from multiple elevations, along with greater visual separation from neighbours.
What the Amenities Tell You
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Outdoor and Green Spaces | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Community and Leisure | Shared Pool |
| Retail and F&B | Cafe and Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
The amenity list is lean but well-matched to the villa buyer profile. Landscaped gardens and a barbecue area suggest the project targets families and owner-occupiers who use outdoor space regularly. The shared pool is standard for a community of this scale. The inclusion of on-site cafes and retail is practical in a car-dependent location, reducing daily dependence on driving for errands. For buyers looking at the rental market, on-site amenities also make the community more attractive to tenants. The amenity set does not target a gym-and-concierge lifestyle; it targets settled residential living.
Handover Set for December 2026
Construction started in June 2024. The expected completion is December 2026, roughly 18 months from now. For an off-plan buyer entering at this stage, a substantial portion of the construction period has already elapsed. The 50% during-construction payment will have partially accrued for buyers who have been in since launch. A new buyer stepping in now is entering a project where the construction risk window is already narrowing.
Getting In for 10%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| At handover | 40% |
A 10% down payment on a AED 6.7 million villa means an initial outlay of AED 670,000. That is low relative to the total purchase price, which makes entry accessible for buyers who can manage the construction-period instalments. The remaining 40% falls due at handover in late 2026, a significant cash event for buyers using financing. There is no post-handover plan, so the full balance clears at the point of key collection.
