Badrah - Manara 8

About Badrah - Manara 8

Manara 8 is a six-storey residential building within Badrah, a sub-community of Dubai Waterfront near Jebel Ali. Part of the Al Manara complex of eight mid-rise blocks, it sits on the eastern side of the master development with straightforward access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11). The setting is quieter than central Dubai and benefits from the wider waterfront plans taking shape around Palm Jebel Ali. Homes in Manara 8 are apartments, offered in studios and 1‑, 2‑ and 3‑bedroom layouts. Buildings in Al Manara are contemporary, low- to mid-rise and purpose-built for practical living, with basement or covered parking, elevators and 24‑hour security. Many apartments feature balconies, and typical floor plates prioritise open-plan living spaces and good natural light. Residents use a range of on-site and community facilities. Manara 8 provides a gym, and the parent enclave offers a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, children’s play areas and sports courts. Everyday needs are well covered: a supermarket is within walking distance, with additional grocery options and convenience retail a short drive away. The Badrah Pavilion community centre adds further retail and services for local residents. Healthcare clinics and pharmacies operate in and around Jebel Ali, while established schools such as British- and CBSE-curriculum institutions are reachable by car in roughly 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Connectivity is a key advantage. By car, E11 links Badrah to key employment zones including Jebel Ali Free Zone and to city destinations such as Ibn Battuta Mall and Dubai Marina. Public transport is available via bus routes serving Jebel Ali and the wider area, and Red Line metro stations can be reached in around 15 minutes by car. Leisure options nearby include beaches and outdoor spaces along the coastline, as well as family venues such as Dubai Parks and Resorts further south toward the Expo corridor. Overall, Manara 8 suits residents seeking functional apartments in a calm, budget-conscious pocket of Dubai with essential amenities, community facilities and road links to major business districts.
