Al Shamkha in 2026: more homes sold than in all of 2025
The numbers
By early September 2026, 823 home sales had been registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) in Al Shamkha, against 614 in the whole of 2025. Their value was AED 1.76 billion, against AED 1.46 billion last year. Of this year's sales, 595 were resales of homes already owned. Leases rose too, to 492 from 442.
Why buyers come
Khaleej Times reports that buyers choose Al Shamkha for larger plots at lower entry prices, helped by better roads and public services. Al Shamkha is on Abu Dhabi's list of areas where foreigners can own freehold property, and Aldar Properties is building its Alreeman community here, with land plots, villas, apartments, shops, mosques and schools.
Fay Al Reeman
Fay Al Reeman is Aldar's villa community in Alreeman II, with three to six bedrooms. Aldar launched Fay Al Reeman 1, 554 villas, in April 2022; it is ready now and open to all nationalities. Buyers chose one of three outside styles: Mediterranean, modern Arabic or contemporary.
What is on offer
More than 250 Fay Al Reeman villas are listed with us by their owners. On our list in November 2026, owners ask from about AED 3.6 million for a four-bedroom villa (most near AED 4.2 million), from about AED 4.3 million for five bedrooms (most near AED 4.9 million) and from about AED 5.2 million for six (most near AED 6 million). These are the owners' asking prices, not valuations.
With many villas of the same size and style on offer, a buyer can compare several before choosing. Tell us the bedrooms and your budget, and we send you the villas that fit and line them up for viewings.
