Al Khawaneej First
الخوانيج الأولىNo apartment, villa or townhouse sale has been recorded in Al Khawaneej First in the Land Department records we hold. Land and commercial sales may still be listed under it.
That says something about the records, not about what the land is worth. Many parcels in Dubai are industrial, government-owned or undeveloped and rarely change hands. There are too few sales to work out a typical price, so we show none.

Why no price-change figure?
Too few sales for a comparison. This area's recorded sales are too few, or too uneven, to show honestly which way prices have moved. Any figure we printed would be month-to-month noise, not a trend.
