Al Furjan in translation means a collection of houses or a small village. The first phase of the project which was launched in September 2007 sold out in its first week of launch. Once finished, Al Furjan will boast more than 4,000 homes within 560 hectares, sheltering, employing and entertaining some 90,000 people every day.

The project is designed to be made up of four villages facing East, South, West and North.

Developed by Nakheel, one of the world’s largest privately held property developers, the project is planned in two phases.

Phase one will be comprised of the South and East villages, while phase two will be facing North and West. Al Furjan’s latest launch was an outstanding success middle last month when the release (which included the architectural styles of Dubai, Quortaj and the newly released Al Hejaz) sold 800 terraced houses and villas within days.

Al Furjan overview

With years of planning by mastermind architects at Nakheel, Al Furjan comprises of the aforementioned four villages that all share the same street scape design and network of pathways but differ entirely in their individual characteristics.

At the core of each of the communities are Al Furjan’s Village centres. They are all situated within walking distance from homes, which makes it easy for residents to find restaurants, groceries, and everyday shopping. There will be two schools and more than 50 hectares of parks and outdoor spaces. Sports fanatics will enjoy facilities, pools, and cycling trails.

The homes are made up of 3, 5 and 6 bedroom villas and 3 bedroom terraced houses. Included are open spaces for children and families to interact.

The designs have been inspired by traditional regional designs, with the villas in the first phase of the development being the Dubai, a favoured local architectural style, or the Quortaj, a fusion of Mediterranean and Islamic architecture.

The whole plan has been designed as to give home owners an innovative and modern option to enjoy a great lifestyle. See for yourself in this informative video.
