Pros and Cons of Al Zahya for Buying a Property in 2025

Al Zahya is located in the eastern part of Ajman, close to the Sharjah border. The location is quite convenient for both those working in this emirate and those who regularly travel to neighboring metropolitan areas. Al Zahya is close to one of the UAE's main transportation arteries, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). As the highway connects Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Qaiwain and Ras Al Khaimah, residents of the area will be able to travel comfortably throughout the country. The convenience of the location is enhanced by the proximity of other major highways, including Al Hamriyah Road, which provides an alternative route to Sharjah and the coast, and Emirates Road (E611), which connects the northern emirates with Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The area is also close to Al Tallah Camel Racecourse, the country's premier track, which hosts exciting camel races.

Ajman city center can be reached by car within 15-20 minutes, Sharjah business hubs and Ajman Freezone are about 25 minutes drive away. Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai International City, as well as Dubai and Sharjah International Airports are within a 35-40 minute drive. The proximity of all these locations allows residents to enjoy the calm and tranquility of the suburbs, but still have quick access to the country's business centers and international travel.

Al Zahya operates several bus routes connecting the area to other destinations in Ajman, including Al Jurf and Al Rashidiya, as well as the transportation hubs of Sharjah. The emirate's government is planning a large-scale development of the public transportation network. In the meantime, it is more convenient to travel around Ajman by private vehicle or cab, as the area has wide roads and favorable access to the main highways.

Since Al Zahya is a fairly new location, the infrastructure is still in the process of formation. It can not boast a variety of social facilities, but everything necessary for a comfortable life is within driving distance. There are schools, medical facilities, shopping malls, restaurants, maintenance services and entertainment venues in the neighboring districts. Al Zahya directly hosts a number of small grocery stores and Bayt Supermarket and Uptown Foodstuff Trading for essentials. The Khalifa Bahit Matroushi Mosque operates in the neighborhood, and the Lady Of Arabia Catholic Church is a 15-minute drive away.

For large-scale shopping and entertainment, Al Zahya residents can travel to the City Centre Ajman, which is about 20 minutes drive away. It features local and international brands, a Carrefour supermarket, VOX Cinemas, several cafes and restaurants. Another large shopping mall, China Mall Ajman, is a 15-20 minute drive away, where you can buy furniture, appliances and household goods.

The district does not have its own schools and nurseries. Prestigious institutions operating international programs are located within a 15-20 minute drive away, among them are Kids Town Nursery, Ajman Academy, The Royal Academy and International Indian School. The nearest major medical centers are within half an hour's drive. Thumbay Hospital Ajman, Saudi German Hospital and Amina Hospital offer a full range of medical services, from emergency care and diagnostics to inpatient treatment. Many young families with limited budgets buy property at Al Zahya because of its convenient location in terms of medical and educational facilities.

The neighborhood is equally well located relative to recreational areas. A 25 minute drive away is Al Zorah Beach, a popular place for swimming, walking and water sports. A half-hour drive away is Ajman Corniche with cafes and restaurants overlooking the coastline. For an active lifestyle of golfing and tasting delicious food, you can venture to Al Zorah Golf Club, located 20 minutes' drive away. In spite of the proximity of entertainment infrastructure, the area is located far away from tourist hotspots. There is no excess noise and bustle, so Al Zahya is an optimal place for families with small children or seniors who are looking for property in Ajman.

While Al Zahya is still under active development, it offers a comfortable environment for living due to the proximity of developed infrastructure of neighboring areas. In the coming years it is planned to build supermarkets, educational institutions, medical centers and entertainment complexes, which makes the location autonomous and more promising for investment.
