Pros & cons
- +Beach on every side
- +Wynn Al Marjan and new hotels raise the bar
- +Strong capital growth 2023–2025
- −Mostly off-plan; little to rent today
- −Prices already reflect the casino
- −No schools; construction everywhere until 2027
Residents say
An investment story rather than a place to live yet; residents are hotel staff and early buyers.
