Murano Residences, Al Furjan
Ghreiwati Property Development developed Murano Residences, a 17-storey building in Al Furjan with one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes. Retail units and cafes or restaurants sit on site, and that changes how a short stay runs. You can step out for coffee or a few groceries without leaving the property.

Who it suits
A one-bedroom suits a couple or a lone traveller who wants a proper flat and not a studio. A two-bedroom suits two friends or a small family, and a three-bedroom gives a larger family or a group of colleagues a door each. The swimming pool and the play area for children make the building easy for parents, and the shops and cafes at the base cover the small errands that fill a first evening.
It suits you less if you want nightlife on the doorstep, a beach walk or a skyline view from the street. Al Furjan is quieter than Dubai Marina or JBR and lacks their party atmosphere. It is also fenced and gated, with controlled visitor access, which many families count as a plus.
A day inside the building
Mornings start in the gym, and the swimming pool takes over once the workout is done.
Breakfast needs no walk when cafes or restaurants sit on site, and the retail units on site are the place for milk or a charger you left at home.
In the afternoon the play area for children is the busiest corner of the building. Masakin Al Furjan, a nearby sub-community, has a large common garden with green areas, a children's play area, barbecue spots and benches, so a family has a second place to spend an afternoon.
A reception desk serves residents through the day, and security with CCTV cover watches the entrance after dark. Parking for residents is part of the building, and maintenance services are provided for the flats above it.
The first 48 hours
Arrive by day or by night and the sequence is the same. The reception desk is where you collect your bearings, and security with CCTV cover watches the entrance behind you. Residents park on site, so a hire car has a bay waiting. The retail units on site then handle the first errand, whether that is bottled water or a forgotten toothbrush.
On the second morning you can eat breakfast downstairs at the cafes or restaurants on site, then ask maintenance services about anything in the flat that needs attention, before the working day begins and the lifts fill up.
Home types, for a week or a month
The homes run from one bedroom to three, with no studios in the mix. For a week, any size works, while for a month the larger homes make more sense, because maintenance services mean a fault in week three is a request to the building, and parking for residents suits anyone who hires a car for the whole stay.
If you work during the stay, the gym covers the early hours and the cafes or restaurants downstairs give you a change of desk between calls. A two-bedroom or three-bedroom lets one room serve as an office while the others stay for sleeping. If children travel with you, the play area for children and the pool keep them busy once the calls end.
Over a longer stay the cafes and shops in the building carry the daily routine, and the gym keeps the weekdays in order. Al Furjan Club has a temperature-controlled pool, a sports court, a fully equipped gym and four fitness studios for anyone who wants more than the building offers.
Getting here from DXB
Dubai International (DXB) is the only airport you need. Al Furjan Metro Station opened on 1 January 2021 and sits on the Route 2020 extension of the Dubai Metro Red Line, which was built for Expo 2020. That extension joins the main Red Line at Jebel Ali station.
The Gardens, Discovery Gardens, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Golf Estates and Dubai Investment Park are Route 2020 stations. Discovery Gardens Metro Station is the neighbouring Red Line station. Route F45 is a metro link bus. It starts at Al Furjan Metro Station and runs to Discovery Gardens.
Al Furjan lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road, the two main highways on either side of it. Access also runs through Al Yalayis Street. Garn Al Sabkha Street is the other way in. Traffic on the main roads slows at peak hours, so you will want to hire a car outside those hours.
Shops and the pavilions
Al Furjan Pavilion opened in December 2016. It is the community's retail and dining centre, with a Spinneys supermarket and a Medicentre clinic. Carrefour Market and Nesto sit at the Avenue Residence centre. Pharmacies are there too, with more Nesto Hypermarket branches nearby.
Al Furjan has two Pavilion retail spaces, one on either side of the development, holding restaurants and supermarkets alongside 24 retail outlets. For a bigger trip, City Centre Me'aisem and Ibn Battuta Mall are the two big malls closest to the community. Ibn Battuta Mall has a Cinepolis cinema and a Carrefour.
Dinner close to home
Restaurants named for Al Furjan include The Garden Restaurant, Hyderabad Fusion, Exotic Shoreline, Thaifoon by Warinda and Arabian Grill. McCafferty's is an Irish pub with live music, and Oregano is an Italian restaurant inside Al Furjan Pavilion.
Green space and cycle links
Walkways and parks run through Al Furjan between the residential clusters. Cycle routes link it to neighbouring Discovery Gardens, which borders Al Furjan along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
Schools, nurseries and clinics
Chubby Cheeks, Redwood Montessori and Jebel Ali Village Nursery in Al Furjan South are among the nurseries, taking children from a few months old. The Arbor School opened in 2018. It follows the National Curriculum for England. Arcadia Global School teaches the same curriculum from FS1 through Year 8.
Medicentres Al Furjan inside Al Furjan Pavilion and Medcare Medical Centre in Al Furjan West cover the clinic needs. Two mosques are named for the community. They are Al Furjan West Mosque and Al Yaqeen Mosque.
Who built the neighbourhood
Nakheel Properties is the master developer of Al Furjan. Azizi Developments built a significant number of the buildings there, with 18 residential buildings complete by February 2021.
How Al Furjan began
The first phase of Al Furjan was announced in September 2007. Construction started in 2008 on the East and South villages. Phase one's 800 villas and terrace homes sold within a week.
If you own here
Permits are not issued for properties whose sale agreements prohibit short-term rentals, and a developer no-objection certificate may be required where applicable. Royale Stays manages homes for owners from a management fee of 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. Our guide to Al Furjan for owners sets out the permit steps. Our notes on running an Al Furjan home cover the community. Candace Acacia has its own page. Equiti Arcade has one too, and you can compare both with this building.

Murano Residences Price Trends
Dubai Land Department sale transactions recorded at Murano Residences include one-bedroom units selling from AED 600,000 to AED 750,000 (515 to 717 sq ft), and two-bedroom units selling from AED 1,450,000 to AED 1,600,000 (1,143 sq ft). One recorded one-bedroom sale reached AED 1,000,000, notably higher per square foot than comparable units sold the same season.
Sale figures are drawn from Propsearch.ae's own transaction table, filtered to records with Transaction Type 'Sale' specifically, excluding Mortgage Registration records found elsewhere in the same dataset. No genuine sale-type transaction for a three-bedroom unit was available in the visible sample at the time of research, so no three-bedroom sale price is quoted here.

Hosting at Murano Residences with Royale Stays
Murano Residences is a completed, standard freehold residential complex, so the usual owner-direct DTCM holiday home permit route applies to any unit here. The developer is not a restricted hotel brand, so Royale Stays has no confirmed prohibition or restriction on short-term letting at this complex.
Murano Residences sits outside Royale Stays’ current core management areas of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, so no property-specific earnings figure is quoted here. Its extensive on-site retail, three restaurants, a mini mart and two salons among its ground-floor outlets, can appeal to short-stay guests who value walkable amenities. 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 can submit their property for a free assessment.
Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation, or commercial relationship with Murano Residences' developer. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the complex.
