Masdar City

Masdar City is a sustainable district next to Zayed International Airport and Khalifa City, off the E10 and E20 near Yas Island. There is no metro; driving and buses link it with Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Driverless transport pilots operate within parts of the city.

Masdar City is designed around sustainability, with shaded streets, low-energy buildings, Khalifa University's research campus and offices for technology and clean-energy companies. Residential neighbourhoods are growing, with community retail, parks and cafes. It is quieter than the city centre. Visit at different times of day before you commit.

Schools near Masdar City lie in Khalifa City, including Yasmina British Academy and the Canadian International School, both rated Outstanding by ADEK. Check curricula, fees and current ADEK inspection ratings on the ADEK and TAMM school directories before deciding.

It suits buyers who value sustainability and quieter living near the airport, and investors targeting tenants working in Masdar's offices or at Khalifa University. Check whether each project is freehold or leasehold, and confirm the ownership type and plot status on DARI before you reserve.
