Sobha Launches Dh50B Sanctuary, a Long-Term Residential Community in Dubai
Sobha Sanctuary will be an integrated and mixed-use entertainment destination that can house approximately 20,000 families. The residential mix of community will consist of approximately 20,000 units, 18,000 of them will be apartments and 2,000 will be villas.
The initial phase will focus on villa living, with approximately 250 homes launched to meet strong demand in Dubai’s supply-constrained family villa segment.
According to Francis Alfred, Sobha Realty Managing Director, the master plan is an extension of this long term vision concept of having a community that will have nature and wellness and well organized spaces as at the core.
Nature, Wellness and Community at Heart.
Sobha Sanctuary is primarily located around a massive destination park, which is the centre of social and recreational life of the community. The environment around the central park includes community mall, wellness center, and an extensive active lifestyle complex that comprises of football grounds and server jogging tracks, padel courts, and skate park.
The masterplan includes green corridors that connect different sections of the community and enhance walkability, along with comprehensive landscaping across the development. Sobha will plant more than 50,000 trees to improve shading, air quality, and the local microclimate.
Sobha is developing the project as a many tiers diversified community, but not a homogenous neighbourhood. The developer has also taken care to plan the gated villas enclave and apartments groups to ensure an equalized population density which enhances the active everyday life.
Sobha Unveils Dh50 Billion Amenities and lifestyle.
Two international schools, a hospital facility, comprehensive retail service are also placed in the masterplan and given out all over the development. There are green spines and diagonal walkways that promote walking and cycling, thus helping to cut down on the use of cars in favor of increasing the level of liveability of the society.
According to Alfred, people are seeking more of a lifestyle centered around community, rather than around homes. He has also mentioned that Sobha Sanctuary brings value and quality to daily life.

Sobha Unveils Dh50B Sanctuary in Dubai UAE Reinforces Its Role as a Global Hub
The UAE still is the leader in international aviation in the region. In 2024, Dubai International Airport handled nearly 90 million passengers, making it the world’s busiest airport for international travel. Abu Dhabi has doubled the capacity of Zayed International Airport. Emirates and Etihad operate one of the world’s largest widebody fleets, with more than 500 aircraft on order.
Saudi Arabia Celerates Aviation love dreams.
Through its vision 2030, Saudi Arabia has one of the most ambitious aviation expansion program in the world. By 2030, the country will have increased passenger traffic to more than 330 million annual passengers. The development of Riyadh Air, the growth of the fleet of Saudi Airlines, and King Salman International Airport are transforming the situation in the air traffic of the region. They are also making competition among the Gulf hubs to increase.
Reduced Fuel Price Favors airline growth.
The financial status of airlines is also getting better due to low prices of fuel and it is enabling them to grow. Avolon feels that the fuel prices have dropped to 8 billion dollars in 2025 and it is adding one fifth of the industries profits.
Sobha rolls out Dh50B Sanctuary in Dubai Aircraft Supply Strains.
The supply of aircraft is still the key limiting factor in the industry, and Airbus and Boeing have their backlog of orders spanning over 11 years. Limited delivery slots are intensifying competition among carriers and pushing lease rates higher, particularly for in-demand aircraft such as the Airbus A330neo.
The large bodies reduce shortages, increasing the lease demand.
Global aircraft deliveries are expected to reach $120 billion in 2026, representing a 20 percent increase from the previous year. Leasing companies will finance nearly half of these deliveries.
The supply of wide-body planes is low and hence lease rates of in-demand aircrafts like airbus A330neo are increasing.
Favorable Economic Prospects Supply Demand.
The world in general is upbeat in terms of the global economy despite the attempt by geopolitics and supply chain changes to disrupt the economy. Growth across more than 90 major economies, each expected to expand by over 1% in 2026, will drive stronger demand for air travel.
Gulf and South Asia Next Growth Cycle.
Aviation industry leaders expect India, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia to drive the sector’s next growth cycle. New planes orders, new airport orders, and state government plan.
