While the exact location of The Oasis was not disclosed, Emaar said it is strategically situated within Dubai, surrounded by upscale developments.

The development, which claims to offer a “resort-style lifestyle”, will allocate 25 percent of its land area to lakes, water canals, parks, jogging tracks, green spaces, and a range of luxury amenities. 

The Oasis will feature an expansive 1.5 million sq ft retail area, housing a diverse selection of international lifestyle brands.

Emaar founder Mohamed Alabbar said that the new development is poised to complement the urban landscape of Dubai.

Emaar in May reported a net profit of AED3.2 billion ($873 million) for the first quarter, surging 43 percent year-on-year on higher tourism, sales and demand for real estate in the emirate.

Revenue for the period rose to AED6.3 billion, as Ebitda increased 26 percent year-on-year to AED4 billion. The company’s property sales reached AED9.2 billion, an 11 percent increase on Q1 2022.
