About Dubai South
Dubai South, previously called Dubai World Central, is a large planned district near Al Maktoum International Airport. It was conceived as a new city within Dubai rather than an extension of an existing neighbourhood, and much of it is still taking shape.
Its tagline, The City of You, reflects that ambition: a district designed from the ground up to combine homes, work and travel in one place. That appeals to buyers who are comfortable investing in an area that is still growing, people whose work is linked to the airport and the businesses around it, and first-time buyers looking for newer homes at a range of budgets. It is a long-term story rather than a finished neighbourhood.
Two landmarks define the district. Al Maktoum International Airport lies close by, and the Expo 2020 Site, the area's focal point, gives the district a second anchor.
Because the district is still being built out, everyday amenities are growing alongside the new residential projects, and buyers should check what will be ready near their chosen building by its handover date. When you shortlist, Profound can confirm where each building sits in relation to the airport and the Expo site, and which neighbouring projects are due to complete around the same time.
The property mix runs from studios to four-bedroom homes, with many of the listed projects still under construction. Profound lists more than 20 projects in Dubai South, with prices from AED 580,000.

A City Planned Around an Airport
Dubai South, formerly called Dubai World Central, is a large planned city in the south of Dubai built around Al Maktoum International Airport.

The airport opened in 2010 and lies about 37 km south-west of the city, and in April 2024 Dubai approved a major expansion with a new passenger terminal. Within Dubai South, Emaar South is a residential community built around a championship golf course with 18 holes and neighbourhood parks, and Expo City Dubai is close by.
