About the Building
Samana Rome 2 is the name under which this Meydan project is most often searched for and listed by owners and on property portals; SAMANA Developers own official project page currently lists it simply as SAMANA Rome, without a numeral. Every fact in this guide is sourced from that official listing and describes the same Meydan development. SAMANA Developers is a Dubai-based developer headquartered at Bay Square, Business Bay, founded by Group CEO Imran Farooq, with a portfolio of city-themed residential towers across Dubai that includes SAMANA Ibiza, SAMANA Mykonos Signature, SAMANA Miami and SAMANA Ocean Pearl.
Gallery imagery on the developer's own project page is dated October 2024, suggesting the project was introduced to market around that time, with an official project video uploaded in June 2026. As of this guide's research, the developer's page does not publish a storey count, total unit count or confirmed handover date: the project is still being actively marketed off-plan, currently advertised with a pay-20%-now, 80%-on-handover incentive. These specific figures could not be independently verified from any other source this session and are disclosed here as open gaps rather than estimated.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Samana Rome 2 sits within Meydan, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, in the District 11 sub-area alongside developments such as Wadi Villas and Mira Villas by Bentley Home. Per the developer, Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are roughly 10 to 15 minutes away, Dubai International Airport, Kite Beach and Academic City roughly 15 to 20 minutes, and Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, Mall of the Emirates and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) roughly 25 to 30 minutes, alongside Dubai Marina in the same time band.
For the wider district context, see Royale Stays’ District 11, MBR City area guide, which covers the mix of independent developers building across the area. For a comparison with another District 11 development from a different developer, see Wadi Villas by Arista Properties, a villa community in the same district.
Unit Types
Samana Rome 2 offers two published layouts: 1-bedroom (1 BHK) and 2-bedroom (2 BHK) apartments, per the developer’s own floor plan gallery. Starting price is AED 2,026,316, per the developer's own listing (marketed as "Starting from AED 2,026,316"). The developer’s page does not publish exact unit sizes or a studio option, so this guide does not state a figure that has not been published.
Amenities
Samana Rome 2’s amenity list, per the developer, includes a large leisure pool deck, private pools in select apartments, a fitness center, a rooftop jogging park, a kids’ area, a sauna and steam room, an outdoor cinema and a rooftop basketball court. The developer also describes infinity pools and landscaped gardens as part of the shared amenity offering.
Transportation & Access
Meydan’s District 11 sits near the junction of Dubai-Al Ain Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, giving a roughly 10 to 15 minute drive onto the wider Dubai road network. The area has no Dubai Metro station of its own: the nearest stations are Business Bay and Noor Islamic Bank, roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car, making the area car-dependent, consistent with most MBR City communities outside the Azizi Riviera canal cluster. A future metro extension and Etihad Rail connection are both part of MBR City’s longer-term transport plans, but neither is built yet.
Rental & Price Trends
Samana Rome 2 is currently listed off-plan, with the developer's own site advertising a starting price of AED 2,026,316 and a "pay just 20% now and 80% on handover" incentive, alongside standard PDC, non-PDC and 50/50 payment plan options. As a pre-handover project still under construction, it does not yet have a completed-unit resale history. Owners weighing a Samana Rome 2 purchase against other Meydan or MBR City options can model both scenarios with Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.
STR Income Potential
Samana Rome 2 is a pre-handover, off-plan development, so no current Airbnb or short-term rental activity exists there yet, and Royale Stays makes no claim of managing any unit in the building today.
Once handed over, Meydan’s established demand for short stays near Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, plus the building’s pool deck and apartment-level private pools, would make individual units realistic short-term rental candidates for owners. SAMANA Developers is a standard freehold developer, not a hotel brand or serviced-apartment operator, so once handover completes, the usual owner-direct DTCM holiday-home permit application applies, the same routing that applies at other Meydan and MBR City freehold developments. Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%. Owners planning ahead of handover can submit their property for a free assessment.
Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation or commercial relationship with SAMANA Developers. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the project.
