The lowest-priced way into Sobha Sanctuary.
The Woods is the apartment collection inside Sobha Sanctuary, Sobha Realty's masterplan in Al Yufrah on the Dubai to Al Ain Road. It offers one and two bedroom apartments from AED 998,852 across three releases, on a 20/40/40 payment plan with handover in 2029.
What to check
- Retreat has the lowest rate per sq ft. Serenity and Abode are AED 1,930.
- It is a car-based address on the E66 and E77, about 30 minutes to Downtown.
- Handover is 2029, so budget for three years of construction.
Best suited to
- First-time buyers entering the market under AED 1 million.
- Long-term holders who want a master-planned, green community.
- Small families who need a second bathroom.
Three releases, priced by the square foot.
Sobha sells The Woods as three buildings, each with its own price list. The price of any apartment follows directly from its total area, so the release you choose sets the rate.
