What the price gap means

Al Dhagaya runs 24% above Ras Al Khor on median AED/sqm (51,998 AED/sqm in Al Dhagaya against 42,034 AED/sqm in Ras Al Khor). There is not enough sampled data on both sides to break the gap down by property type.

Citywide medians mix property types unevenly, so a headline gap can reflect what is being sold rather than a like-for-like premium. The per-type table above compares only the property types with enough sampled sales in both areas.

Beyond price, Al Dhagaya is anchored by Palm Deira Metro Stations metro, Dubai Mall, Dubai International Airport, while Ras Al Khor has no listed metro, mall, or landmark anchor in this dataset.
