About Bahar 2
Bahar 2 is a residential tower developed by Dubai Properties Group and TECOM Group, one of seven Bahar-named buildings on Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). Sources mostly agree Bahar 2 is 34 storeys, though one source cites 27, a minor discrepancy this guide notes rather than picks a side on.
Total unit count is a genuine unresolved conflict across sources: figures range from 106 to 188, so this guide describes Bahar 2 qualitatively as a mid-size tower in the seven-building Bahar cluster rather than asserting one number. Bahar 2 was completed in 2007.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Bahar 2 sits on Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai’s beachfront promenade lined with restaurants, retail and direct beach access. For the full picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across JBR, see the Royale Stays JBR Airbnb management guide.
Unit Types
Bahar 2 offers studio to four-bedroom apartments plus penthouses, with ground-floor retail. Confirmed unit sizes include two-bedroom units around 1,517 sqft, three-bedroom units ranging roughly 2,175-2,996 sqft, and four-bedroom units around 3,006 sqft. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
As a JBR beachfront tower, Bahar 2 residents have access to the wider JBR promenade, including direct beach access, restaurants and retail at street level. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current building-specific facilities (pool, gym, parking) directly with Bahar 2's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
JBR is served by the Dubai Tram, with the closest stations along Jumeirah Beach Residence walking distance from most Bahar-cluster towers. Royale Stays has not confirmed the exact walking distance from Bahar 2 specifically to the nearest tram station, so this guide does not state a specific figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled Bahar 2-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at Bahar 2 can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Bahar 2, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Bahar 2 would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Bahar 2 already has a strong short-term rental presence: multiple direct Airbnb listings naming the building specifically, including two-bedroom units and a listed 18th-floor unit. Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Bahar 2 to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Bahar 2, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable JBR beachfront listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have Bahar 2-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator/listing demand at Bahar 2 only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
