Al Raffa is one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods of Bur Dubai, located between Al Mankhool and the Bur Dubai waterfront near Al Ghubaiba. Its apartment buildings offer walkable access to Meena Bazaar, Dubai Creek abras and two metro lines.

Where is Al Raffa?

Al Raffa lies in northern Bur Dubai, around Al Mina Road and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road, north of Al Mankhool and west of Al Fahidi. Al Ghubaiba metro station (Green Line) and Al Ghubaiba bus and abra stations sit on its edge.

What apartments are available in Al Raffa?

Al Raffa offers studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and some 3-bedroom flats in low- and mid-rise buildings, many built in the 1980s to 2000s. Older Al Raffa buildings give larger rooms and balconies than newer towers in other districts.

  • Studios and 1-bedroom flats: popular with working professionals and couples.
  • 2- and 3-bedroom flats: popular with long-established families in Bur Dubai.
  • Parking: limited in older buildings; paid public parking is common.

What makes Al Raffa practical for tenants without a car?

Al Raffa is one of Dubai's most walkable districts. Residents reach supermarkets, textile markets, temples, mosques, clinics and the Bur Dubai abra station on foot, and Al Ghubaiba station connects them to the metro network.

The Dubai Creek abra crossing links Al Raffa to Deira's souks in a few minutes.

What should you check before renting in Al Raffa?

Check the building's age and maintenance, lift availability, parking, and whether water and electricity are on separate DEWA meters. Older buildings vary widely, so compare 2 or 3 units before deciding.
