About Aura by Azizi
Aura is a residential apartment tower developed by Azizi Developments in Downtown Jebel Ali, within the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA) area of Dubai. Construction started around 2017 and the building was handed over in mid-2020 (Q2 2020 per one developer-focused listing source), one of the first Azizi projects delivered in this part of the city. Independent listing sources put Aura at 17 storeys with 479 units, made up largely of studios alongside one and two-bedroom apartments; one portal's own structured project data separately lists a total of 487 units, a small discrepancy this page notes honestly rather than resolving into a single invented figure. Azizi's current marketing lists one and two-bedroom units starting from AED 1.33 million, which most likely reflects what remains available for resale today rather than the building's original full unit mix.
Worth noting for anyone researching this building: 'Aura' is not a unique project name in Dubai. There is a separate, unrelated tower also called Aura inside Sobha Hartland II's Skyscape cluster in Bu Kadra, developed by Sobha Realty and still under construction, nowhere near Jebel Ali (see the FAQ below for the direct comparison). It is also worth separating Downtown Jebel Ali, the mainland district this building sits in, from Palm Jebel Ali, Nakheel's separate offshore palm-island development. They share a place name but are not the same location, and this page covers only Azizi's completed Aura tower in Downtown Jebel Ali.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Aura sits immediately adjacent to the UAE Exchange Metro Station on the Dubai Metro Red Line in the Jebel Ali Free Zone area, close to Expo City Dubai, a location confirmed independently by both Azizi's own materials and third-party listing sources. Per Azizi's own published distances, the nearest metro station is essentially at the doorstep, Ibn Battuta Mall is about 5 minutes away, Jumeirah Lake Towers about 8 minutes, Dubai Marina and JBR about 10 minutes, Expo City Dubai about 10 minutes, and Dubai Parks and Resorts about 12 minutes, all by car. Jebel Ali is not one of Royale Stays' core managed districts today, so owners here are covered under Royale Stays' wider Dubai Airbnb property management service rather than a dedicated area guide.
Aura is currently the first Jebel Ali-area building covered on royalestays.com's building guide library, so there is no directly comparable sibling building guide to reference here yet. As Royale Stays adds coverage of other buildings in this corridor, this page will be updated with direct comparisons.
Unit Types
Aura's residential mix runs largely across studio, one and two-bedroom layouts. Independent listing sources put the total at 479 units (349 studios, 87 one-bedroom and 43 two-bedroom apartments); Azizi's own current marketing advertises only one and two-bedroom units starting from AED 1.33 million, likely reflecting what remains available for resale today rather than the building's full original mix. A single resale example on one listing portal showed a smaller unit, likely a studio, at AED 656,546, illustrating the lower end of the resale market rather than a project-wide price.
Amenities
Azizi's own materials for Aura list a fitness centre, a swimming pool, views over a nearby park, a dedicated parking garage, and city views from upper floors. These are developer-stated amenities rather than independently audited on-site.
Transportation & Access
Aura sits immediately adjacent to the UAE Exchange Metro Station on the Dubai Metro Red Line, per independent listing sources, giving residents and guests direct rail access into the wider city without needing a car for every trip. The building's Jebel Ali Free Zone location also puts it close to Sheikh Zayed Road for driving, with Ibn Battuta Mall about 5 minutes away and Expo City Dubai about 10 minutes by car.
Rental & Price Trends
Aura is a completed, handed-over freehold building (mid-2020), so pricing here reflects an established resale and rental market rather than an off-plan project. Azizi's current marketing lists one and two-bedroom units starting from AED 1.33 million; a single resale listing example elsewhere showed AED 656,546 for what is likely a smaller studio unit. A live, attributable area-wide average rent figure for Jebel Ali specifically was not available from a static data pull at the time of writing; 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
Aura is a standard freehold residential tower developed by Azizi Developments, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment building, so the DTCM holiday-home permit is applied for directly rather than routed through a building management company. Owners who want to list on Airbnb or Booking.com will still need a valid DTCM holiday-home permit before taking bookings.
Royale Stays manages short-term rental properties across Dubai, including Jebel Ali and the wider Dubai market, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications for a fee starting from 15%. Jebel Ali is not yet one of Royale Stays' core managed districts, so owners here are evaluated individually rather than under an existing local portfolio.
