Sobha Firdous: Island Villas in Umm Al Quwain at AED 1.4 Million
Sobha Realty is developing Sobha Firdous on Siniyah Island, within the Umm Al Quwain Marina zone. Construction broke ground in July 2024. Handover is targeted for July 2028, roughly two years from now. This is an off-plan villa project on a private island in an emirate that sits apart from Dubai and Abu Dhabi in scale and urban density.
Siniyah Island: What UAQ Actually Delivers
Siniyah Island sits off the coast of Umm Al Quwain, embedded within the marina zone on the emirate's western edge. UAQ is roughly 50 kilometres north of Dubai. The drive to Dubai Marina takes approximately 45 to 55 minutes on Emirates Road, depending on traffic.
UAQ runs at a lower pace and lower density than Dubai or Sharjah. The island setting within the marina zone means the sea is on the perimeter. For a buyer looking for a waterfront island address outside Dubai's urban footprint, Siniyah Island is one of the more distinct options currently available in the northern emirates.
Daily life in UAQ does not offer Dubai's retail depth or transit infrastructure. The trade-off is space, quiet, and a marine environment. Buyers treating this as a primary residence are choosing a self-contained island lifestyle over urban connectivity. For those treating it as a secondary home or retreat, the address feels meaningfully removed from the UAE's denser corridors.
Getting In for 10%
The down payment on Sobha Firdous is 10%, which translates to AED 140,000 on the listed price. This is a low entry point for an off-plan villa development.
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 40% |
The structure means 60% of the total is paid before handover, with the remaining 40% due at completion in July 2028. There is no post-handover payment plan. The full balance settles at delivery. Buyers using a mortgage will need financing in place before the July 2028 handover date.
Four, Five, and Six-Bedroom Villas at AED 1.4 Million
The listed price is AED 1,400,000. Units span four, five, and six-bedroom villa configurations. The four-bedroom format is the entry point. Five and six-bedroom buyers gain additional space within the same Siniyah Island setting and the same amenity access.
At this price for a large-format island villa in the UAE, Sobha Firdous targets family buyers and buyers seeking a sizeable private residence in the northern emirates.
What the Amenity List Reveals
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Infinity Pool, Gymnasium, Barbecue Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity set points toward a self-contained lifestyle. On-site restaurants mean residents can eat without leaving the development. The infinity pool and barbecue area round out an outdoor leisure package suited to island living.
The children's play area and gymnasium address the family buyer directly. CCTV security covers the gated perimeter. The overall amenity picture is a tightly curated package suited to full-time residents and families, not a short-stay investment product.
July 2028: Two Years to Handover from Here
Construction started in July 2024. The project targets handover in July 2028, a four-year build cycle. Buyers entering now are in the back half of the construction period.
The 50% due during construction spreads across the remaining two years of building. Then the 40% balance falls due at delivery. An off-plan buyer committing now has approximately two years before the full purchase price settles at handover.
