Al Waheda Area Guide

Nothing is impossible
“We, in the UAE, have no such word as “impossible”; it does not exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak, who fear challenges and progress. When one doubts his potential and capabilities as well as his confidence, he will lose the compass that leads him to success and excellence, thus failing to achieve his goal. I require you, youth, to insist on number one.”
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE

Al Waheda is located in eastern Dubai in Deira and bordered to the north by Al Hamriya Port, to the west by Abu Hail, to the east by Al Mamzar, and to the south by Hor Al Anz.

The routes D 92 (Al Khaleej Road) and D 89 (Al Rasheed Road) form the northern and southern peripheries of Al Waheda.

Al Waheda, literally meaning The One, is primarily a residential community with a mix of low-rise apartments and independent villas and town homes. A number of schools can be found in and around the area.

The consulates of the Philippines and Syria are also located in Al Waheda.
