In short:<\/b> The Valley is a residential community by Emaar on the Dubai\u2013Al Ain Road. It offers modern townhouses and villas in several phases \u2013 at prices well below those of the more central Emaar communities.

    Location and access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Valley lies on the Dubai\u2013Al Ain Road, south-east of the city. Downtown<\/a> is about 25 to 30 minutes by car, DXB airport about the same. Towards the city lie Al Barari<\/a> and Dubai Silicon Oasis<\/a>. There is no metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Emaar launched The Valley in the early 2020s as a family community on the edge of the city. The idea: houses with the standards and upkeep of an Emaar community, but at a price young families can also afford. The community is being built in several phases, with parks, pools, sports areas and a community centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
