About Manam Prime
Manam Prime is a six-storey residential building in the Residential District, part of Dubai South, developed by Manam Real Estate Development. The building contains 40 units: 16 one-bedroom apartments and 24 two-bedroom apartments. Construction began in May 2023, with an original estimated handover of April 2025, and the Dubai Land Department's own tracked timeline shows the project completed in Q3 2025.
Manam Prime is a standalone building, not a multi-tower complex. It should not be confused with Manam Pearl, a separate off-plan project by the same developer, marketed as Manam Development, located in Al Furjan rather than Dubai South, with its own 1 to 3-bedroom unit mix and a Q4 2027 handover.
Developer, storey count, unit count, unit mix and construction timeline cross-confirmed via propsearch.ae and dxboffplan.com, both checked independently. Disambiguation from Manam Pearl confirmed via dxboffplan.com's own listing for that separate Al Furjan project.

Unit Types
Manam Prime offers two unit types across its 40 residential units: 16 one-bedroom apartments and 24 two-bedroom apartments. No studios or three-bedroom-and-larger units are offered.
Unit-type breakdown sourced from dxboffplan.com's Building Details fact sheet (16 x 1 B/R, 24 x 2 B/R). Propsearch.ae's own DLD-sourced transaction records independently show recurring 1-bed and 2-bed flat sales and mortgages, consistent in kind, though not an independent count-level confirmation of the exact 16/24 split.
Amenities
Manam Prime's amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center/gym, landscaped gardens, a children's play area, covered parking, and smart home and smart access technology.
Amenities cross-confirmed via dxboffplan.com's amenities listing (infinity pool, fitness center, spa and wellness, kids play area, plus prose detail on landscaped gardens, covered parking and smart access) and propsearch.ae's building guide (car parking and smart home technologies).
Transportation & Access
From Manam Prime it takes roughly 36 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 32 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 34 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 35 minutes to The Walk JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 37 minutes' drive, while Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 18 minutes' drive. As with most of Dubai South, day-to-day travel relies on a car; there is no metro station directly serving the Residential District.
Drive times sourced from propsearch.ae's building guide (calculated via Google Maps, fastest route in typical traffic). The developer's own marketing copy on dxboffplan.com claims a rounder "5 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport," which reads as promotional shorthand rather than a Google Maps-calculated figure and is not used here in favour of propsearch's disclosed methodology.
Sale Prices & Market Trends
Recent Dubai Land Department-registered transactions for Manam Prime range roughly from AED 556,568 for a smaller one-bedroom resale up to around AED 1,370,000 for a larger two-bedroom unit, per propsearch.ae's most recent sample. A wider sample of 41 tracked transactions on dxboffplan.com shows a similar overall range, with an average sale price of AED 1,090,927.
Price ranges sourced from propsearch.ae's and dxboffplan.com's own Dubai Land Department-linked transaction tables, both checked independently. The two samples overlap and most likely reflect different transaction-date snapshots rather than a data conflict.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai South is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at Manam Prime specifically. Manam Real Estate Development is a private real estate developer rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
