Al Furjan is a well-planned residential district in Jebel Ali, Dubai, developed and managed by Nakheel Properties, one of the emirate’s major master developers. The community’s initial development began around 2008–2009, and it has grown over time into a vibrant suburban-style neighbourhood with a mix of villa, townhouse and apartment living.

The name “Al Furjan” means “small villages” in Arabic, reflecting the original concept of connected neighbourhoods with green spaces, pedestrian-friendly streets and family-oriented public amenities.
