DUBAI – Samana Developers marked its total investment of Dh3.7 billion (USD1 Billion) worth of sales volume in Dubai’s real estate sector with the launch of a Dh725 million ‘Samana Barari Views’ project in the Al Barari neighbourhood. This is the company’s 12 th project launch until November 2023. The total number of units in 12 projects are 3,359.
Mr. Imran Farooq, chief executive officer of Samana Developers, said: “It fills us with pride that strong investor confidence in Samana assets is contributing to our rapid growth. Reaching a staggering 600% growth in 2023 positions us amongst the top 10 private developers in Dubai. The 6x growth is due to the simple fact of building a lifestyle which focuses on the needs of end-users. The outside-the-box design concepts, affordable price tag, and luxurious living experiences have enabled us to grow our property portfolio and help us launch projects on time.”
The B+G+4P+27-Storey ‘Barari Views’ project, spanning over 800961 sqft, is Samana’s biggest and the first project which will be fully equipped with smart-home technology. All of the apartments will have built-in private pools for the family, a concept pioneered by Samana Developers.
The home automation feature of the project will increase energy savings, an enhanced level of security and an optimized living experience. Lights, thermostats, TVs, doors, window curtains, and door locks can be switched on and off with smartphones, remote devices and voice-assisted commands. Surrounded by the green spaces of Al Barari, Samana’s newest residential project will house 669 apartments, and is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2027.
Imran added: “For the first time, we are including new value addition of smart-home technology. The complete home automation at Barari Views project adds to the environmental and financial sustainability by keeping the energy in control. And 60% of green spaces in the Barari community help decarbonize the community climate. In addition, plenty of sports and fitness activities available for residents of Samana Barari Views project create a healthy lifestyle and a happy community.”
With green spaces, landscaped gardens, lakes, and water streams, Al Barari is one of the greenest communities in Dubai. Located between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Highway and Al Khail

Good morning from Skift. It’s Thursday, December 14. Here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today.
Qatar Airways has launched twice-weekly flights to Neom, the $500 billion anchor of Saudi Arabia’s tourism push. The first of Neom’s destinations – Sindalalah – is expected to open partially next year. For now, these two flights are intended to connect Neom staff with their families outside of Saudi Arabia.
The $1,500-a-night Vakkaru Maldives resort in the Baa Atoll will launch a sister resort in the UAE’s relatively quiet emirate of Fujairah. The project is called Naama Beach Villas and Spa, vying to become the most luxurious property in the emirate.
The Saudi Crown Prince has relaunched and “rebranded” his project outside of Riyadh called Qiddiya – a super-city purely focused on sports, leisure and entertainment. The new Qiddiya vision has been announced without a price tag, nor a firm opening date, but is described as a “cornerstone of Vision 2030” – Mohammed Bin Salman’s ambition to diversify his kingdom’s economy away from oil exports by the end of the decade.
The Address resort is going ahead in Ras Al Khaimah. First announced in 2018, Dubai operators Emaar never gave the luxe property a firm opening date, until now. The property will open in 2028, one year after the Wynn resort on the same off-shore Al Marjan island of the emirate.
According to new research commissioned by Arabian Travel Market (ATM), and conducted at the end of September 2022 by hotel market intelligence and global benchmarking company STR, the GCC region now has over 170,000 hotel rooms under active development (planning, final planning & under construction).
