About Ghantoot Area

Ghantoot area is the place, which still keeps it’s natural environment. Located within the emirate of Abu Dhabi, approximately equidistant between Dubai and Abu Dhabi cities, the area surrounded by the trees and greenery and looks different from other regions of the United Arab Emirates.

Ghantoot area is a home for the famous Ghantoot Racing and Polo Club, the Golden Tulip Al Jazira Hotel & Resort, which is set on its own island at the end of a 7 kilometer sea channel, the Five-star Cassells Ghantoot Hotel & Resort and for upscale ongoing projects like Al Jurf by IMKAN.

Due to its location, the area connected well enough to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It takes only 40 minutes to get to Dubai International Airport, and 50 minutes - to Abu Dhabi International Airport, so it is very easy to get in and out.

Due to its geographical location the island has a subtropical arid climate with almost year round sunshine, short rainy season and comfortable winter temperatures, which can vary from a low of around 13C on a winter's night, to a high up to 50 C on a summer's day.

Should be noted that the United Arab Emirates, including Ghantoot area, has no zip code or postal code for mail delivery. Instead of it they use P.O. box number. Usually, all personal mails are delivered to people directly after confirming their identity.

Economic appeal of Ghantoot Area

Ghantoot area is still growing and developing parts of Abu Dhabi. This fact makes this place very attractive for developers and investors, especially after launching such projects like Ghantoot Waterfront and AlJurf.

Ghantoot Waterfront estimated as mixed-use mega projects for some reasonable points: it will comprise a wide range of residences, commercial and industrial areas, with a plenty of tourist attractions and leisure amenities, which are usually supposed only for a city for more than a million people. Waterfront will transform 1.4 million square metres of empty desert and sea into a new, open for all nationalities community. So it may highly attract investors and partners. Expected to be complete by 2030.

AlJurf, a new fully integrated community offers exclusive residential villas and land plots in AlJurf Gardens, and will provide residents with access to public and private beaches, beach clubs and restaurants, community centers, parks, mosques, clinics and a private school. It will open 1,6 kilometers of pristine Arabian Gulf seafront. AlJurf expected to be ready to open the doors to new resident in 2021.

So, the realty purchasing here for owning or a further sale is a beneficial investment in any case taking into account the level of development of the region and increasing flow of visitors.
