Arjan

It dates from 2006, when it was launched within the Dubailand scheme. Work was paused in 2010 after the global financial crash and has since resumed. Dubai Miracle Garden opened in Arjan in 2013, and Butterfly Park followed in 2015. The masterplan sets out 10 development zones and 157 plots, providing for hotels, offices and shops as well as apartments.
