About Shams Building
Shams Building is a seven-storey residential building in Liwan (Queue Point), Wadi Al Safa 2, part of the wider DubaiLand master development in Dubai. It was developed by Al Mazaya Holding Company through its subsidiary Al Mazaya Real Estate. The building is registered with the Dubai Land Department as "Shams" within the Queue Point Liwan master project and is complete and occupied, offering one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
Shams Building sits alongside two sister Al Mazaya Holding projects in the same Queue Point sub-area: Mazaya 33 Gate Zone and Monaco Residency, both also profiled by Royale Stays.
Sources disagree on the exact completion year (one source-derived milestone record points to early 2014, another to 2010), so this guide states only that the building is complete rather than committing to a single disputed year.

A separate check of current agency listings for the building showed active asking prices of roughly AED 600,000 to AED 930,000 across three live listings at research time, a figure that reflects current resale and asking levels rather than historical sale prices and is subject to change based on market conditions and availability.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Liwan is outside Royale Stays' core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no verified area-level short-term rental earnings benchmark is available for Shams Building specifically. The building is a standard freehold residential development with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, which is the only confirmed prohibition under Royale Stays' permit policy, so there is no confirmed prohibition on holiday-home letting here.
Royale Stays' Airbnb management services cover furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, all handled from a management fee starting at 15%. Holiday-home permitting follows the normal Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism route: see Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide for the full process. Owners considering a Shams Building apartment for short-term letting can get a free property assessment by submitting their property directly.
