Dubai Islands master plan
The masterplan is five islands off Deira — Central, Marina, Shore, Golf, Elite — with beach, marina and later golf. Nakheel is the master developer. What is drawn is not all built. Use this page for orientation; use the island pages and the handover tracker for what exists.
How to read the map
The brochure map is a land-use plan. Bridges, mall, later retail and some islands are still arriving. Buy the building, not the rendering.
The five islands
Densest island and the earliest fabric. First promenade, and most of what already stands.
Waterfront apartments and berths. Access and marina life are still phasing.
The longer beach, quieter than Central, and later for daily life.
Planned around the course. Later-cycle than the first keys.
Lowest density, larger plots, and the slowest fabric of the five.
What is standing vs planned
Standing / early. The road onto Central, first keys, and some promenade and hospitality.
Still arriving. Later bridges, the mall, fuller retail, the golf environment, and Elite fabric.
No dates are invented on this page. For what is actually handing over, use the Handover tracker.
Who this map is for
