What the price gap means

Ras Al Khor runs 8% above Al Ras on median AED/sqm (38,788 AED/sqm in Al Ras 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 Ras is anchored by Al Ras Metro Station metro, Dubai Mall, Dubai International Airport, while Ras Al Khor has no listed metro, mall, or landmark anchor in this dataset.
