About Badrah - Manara 1
Badrah – Manara 1 is a low-rise residential building within the Badrah community of Dubai Waterfront, near Jebel Ali. Set on the outer southwest edge of the city, the area is quiet and relatively low-density, with easy access to the coast and to major employment hubs around Jebel Ali and Dubai South. Manara 1 rises five storeys and contains studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. Homes are in modern, functional layouts with generous glazing, and most buildings in the cluster share a consistent contemporary-Arabic aesthetic. The development is freehold and designed as part of a broader master plan that divides Badrah into zones for residential, retail and civic uses, giving residents a self-contained, neighbourhood feel.
