Dubai South is a large district in the south of Dubai around Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) and Expo City Dubai. DWC is planned to be expanded into the city's main airport.
Dubai South is conceived as a city around the airport: residential communities, a logistics zone and business parks. Next to it is the former Expo 2020 site, now Expo City Dubai.
Who it suits
Investors buying for the area's future development and the airport expansion, and buyers who need a low entry price. Keep in mind it is far from central Dubai.
Transport
The area is by Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road; Expo 2020 metro station on the Route 2020 line is a few minutes away. Downtown is about a 40-minute drive.
What homes are sold here
Apartments, townhouses and villas in large communities, including Emaar South and Azizi Venice. Many projects come with long payment plans.

Frequently asked questions
Why do investors look at Dubai South?
Because of the low entry price and plans to expand Al Maktoum airport, which may raise demand for housing nearby.
What are the risks?
The area is far from the centre and still being built, so rental demand is lower than in established areas for now. Check the developer and handover dates carefully.
