What the price gap means

Jumeirah runs 13% above Al Ruwayyah on median AED/sqm (1,347 AED/sqm in Al Ruwayyah against 1,555 AED/sqm in Jumeirah). 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 Ruwayyah is anchored by IMG World Adventures, while Jumeirah has no listed metro, mall, or landmark anchor in this dataset.
