About The Anwa by Omniyat

The Anwa by Omniyat is a 44-storey residential tower in Dubai Maritime City, developed by Omniyat. opr.ae, which republishes the developer's own project material, names Anwa as the first residential development built in Dubai Maritime City and the tallest tower there to date. The building comprises 233 residences: studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 436 to 1,448 sq ft.

Anwa was designed in 2014, drawing on the Art Deco era of the 1920s and the golden age of sea cruises, per opr.ae. Interiors feature marble floors, Travertine Italian ceramic tiles, Bagno designer faucets and Alico glazing, plus a Control 4 home automation system throughout. Two and three-bedroom units also include a dedicated area for staff accommodation.

Completion year: opr.ae reported in July 2021 that Anwa's construction had reached 90 percent completion according to Dubai REST, the Dubai Land Department's official project-tracking tool, rather than confirming a single, precise handover date. This guide states 2021-2022 rather than one exact year, consistent with the range cited across sources for this building.

Anwa by Omniyat should not be confused with 'Anwa Aria', a separate Phase 2 tower at the same site with 48 floors, scheduled to complete in the fourth quarter of 2027. This guide covers only the completed Phase 1 tower, The Anwa by Omniyat.

Location & Nearby Landmarks

Anwa sits in Dubai Maritime City, a peninsula development on the Bur Dubai side of the creek. Deluxe Holiday Homes' own building listing gives the formal address as Madinat Dubai Al Melaheyah, Bur Dubai. Per opr.ae, Anwa is around 15 minutes from The Dubai Mall, 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai, 25 minutes from Dubai Marina, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and 45 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).

No dedicated Royale Stays area guide exists yet for Dubai Maritime City. For a wider view of how short-term rental management works across Dubai, see Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company.

Unit Types

opr.ae confirms Anwa's unit mix twice, in both its prose description and its project summary: studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments, ranging from 436 to 1,448 sq ft, across 233 total residences. Deluxe Holiday Homes' own building listing separately describes the tower as serving 'studios and 1-to-3-bedroom apartments for rent', consistent with opr.ae's figures.

No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's proprietary material and are not reproduced. A unit-by-unit breakdown of how many of the 233 residences fall into each bedroom category is not stated by either source checked for this guide, so no such breakdown is given.

Amenities

opr.ae lists a private Yacht Marina, infinity pools, a fitness centre with views over the Arabian Gulf, a kids' play area and zone, and 24/7 CCTV coverage among Anwa's facilities. A yoga and pilates room sits alongside the main gym.

Additional amenities per opr.ae include a children's pool, a wet deck and landscaped gardens, positioned around the building's waterfront setting facing the Arabian Gulf.

Transportation & Access

Per opr.ae, Anwa is roughly 15 minutes by road from Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall, 25 minutes from Dubai Marina, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and 45 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).

Neither source checked for this guide states a specific Metro station or tram stop walking distance for Dubai Maritime City, unlike some other Cluster C buildings closer to an existing Metro line, so no such figure is given here.

opr.ae lists an off-plan starting price of AED 864,000 for studios and one-to-three-bedroom apartments at Anwa, presented as a developer marketing price rather than a confirmed current resale or rental figure. Neither source checked for this guide provides dated Dubai Land Department resale-transaction records specific to this building, unlike some other Cluster C postings in this sprint, so no such transaction data is stated here.

Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific long-term monthly rental figure or service charge for Anwa in this pass, so neither is stated as fact. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Anwa already shows a confirmed, live short-term rental signal: Deluxe Holiday Homes, a DET-licensed operator, runs a dedicated listing titled 'Alluring Studio at The Anwa By Omniyat', priced from AED 320 per night at the time of checking (2026-07-26). The listing's own copy notes the building's entrance and lobby areas were under renovation at the time of listing, an operational detail stated here honestly rather than left out.

The task brief compiling sources for this guide also notes an Airbnb.com listing explicitly branded 'The Anwa By Omniyat', and that Frank Porter is active in the wider Dubai Maritime City area. Neither was independently re-confirmed live in this pass, consistent with the same limitation on listing-site sources used elsewhere in this series.

Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific short-term rental income figure for Anwa itself, so none is stated here. Because a DET-licensed operator already runs a public short-term rental listing at this address, no leasehold or hotel-licensing permit hedge applies here in the way it does for some other buildings in this series; an individual owner can generally apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit sets out the current fees and renewal process.

Owners considering Airbnb at Anwa can lean on Royale Stays' full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications service rather than handling listings directly. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
