Fresh Q1 2026 data confirms Al Reem Island's position as Abu Dhabi's most liquid market with 2,016 deals (AED 7.20B), followed by Yas Island (1,767 deals, AED 5.10B). But Al Hidayriyyat is the real story: just 1,026 deals generated AED 10.35B in value — the highest of any district — driven by luxury villa projects at Wadeem and surrounding communities. Al Saadiyat Island (809 deals, AED 8.27B) confirms its premium status.
Khalifa City (445), Fahid Island (309), Al Shamkhah (259), Al Raha Beach (234), Zayed City (199), and Al Maryah Island (181) round out the top 10.
