NBCC Al Waha is a new residential development registered in International City, Dubai. The project is registered with the Dubai Land Department under NBCC Overseas Real Estate L.L.C. The current DLD-linked project record lists International City as the project area and shows a registered start date of 1 December 2026. Project-level pricing and final completion details are not listed in the DLD record.

The location is the main point to study when assessing NBCC Al Waha. International City sits in eastern Dubai within the Al Warsan area.

Where Is NBCC Al Waha Located?

NBCC Al Waha is located at Dubai International City, a large residential community known for its country-themed clusters and mixed residential stock.

International City is bordered by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) to the west and Al Awir Road (E44) to the north. These two roads are important for reaching other parts of Dubai by car.

The community is also close to Al Warqa, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City. Top Ultra Luxury estimates that Al Warqa is around 5 to 8 minutes away by car, while Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City can be reached in about 10 minutes from parts of International City. Actual times vary by traffic and the exact starting point.

For NBCC Al Waha, this means the wider road network is an important part of its location profile.

Access Through Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road is one of Dubai’s major highways and forms the western boundary of International City.

The road provides connections towards Dubai’s northern and southern districts. It also links with other major routes that serve areas such as Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City and Ras Al Khor.

For residents travelling by car, access to E311 can reduce the need to use smaller internal roads for longer journeys.

The exact route from NBCC Al Waha to E311 will depend on its final position within International City. Buyers should therefore check the project’s confirmed access points once detailed site information is available.

Al Awir Road and International City Access

Al Awir Road is another major route serving International City.

The road connects the community with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and surrounding areas. Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has completed road improvements around International City to improve vehicle movement and access.

Earlier RTA works included improvements to Al Awir Road, additional access points and changes to junctions around International City. The project was designed to improve traffic movement between International City, Dragon Mart and nearby areas.

This road remains important for daily travel because it provides another route out of the community.

Connectivity to Dubai Silicon Oasis

Dubai Silicon Oasis is one of the closest established business and residential areas to International City.

Current area data places Dubai Silicon Oasis roughly 5 km away in a straight line, with a driving distance of about 7 km from International City.

The two communities are connected by bus routes as well. RTA route 36B connects International City with Etisalat Metro Station through Dubai Silicon Oasis, while other services link the wider area to different parts of Dubai.

This proximity can be useful for residents who work or study in Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Access to Academic City

Dubai Academic City is another nearby destination.

The area is known for its universities, colleges and education facilities. International City sits close to this education zone, making the location relevant for students, academic staff and families with older children.

Current property data estimates the drive from International City to Academic City at roughly 10 minutes in normal conditions.

Travel time can increase during busy periods, so buyers should check the route at the hours they expect to commute.

Connectivity to Al Warqa

Al Warqa is located close to International City and provides another established residential area nearby.

Current location data places Al Warqa around 5 to 8 minutes away by car from International City.

This close connection expands access to local shops, schools, services and residential facilities outside International City.

For NBCC Al Waha residents, the benefit is that daily needs do not have to be met within a single community.

Dragon Mart and Local Retail Access

Dragon Mart is one of the best-known retail destinations in the International City area.

It is located close to the main International City clusters and provides furniture, electronics, household products, restaurants and other retail services.

Top Ultra Luxury estimates that Dragon Mart is around a 5-minute drive from most International City clusters.

This is relevant to the location of NBCC Al Waha because residents can access a large retail destination without travelling to Downtown Dubai or another major shopping district.

International City also has supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants and smaller shops spread across its clusters. Current area data lists 55 supermarkets, 49 restaurants and 16 hospitals across the broader area.

Public Transport Near NBCC Al Waha

International City does not currently have a Dubai Metro station inside the community. Public transport is mainly supported by RTA buses and connections to nearby Metro stations.

Several bus routes serve International City. These include 310, 366, 53, X23, 36B and 50, among others. Routes connect the community with places such as Silicon Oasis, Business Bay, Gold Souq and nearby Metro stations.

This means residents who depend on public transport may need to combine a bus journey with Metro travel for some destinations.

The nearest Metro access points currently include Centrepoint on the Red Line and Etisalat by e& on the Green Line, reached through connecting bus services.

Future Metro Connectivity

A major future transport change is the Dubai Metro Blue Line.

The Dubai government states that the planned Blue Line will connect areas including International City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, Mirdif and Dubai Festival City. The line is expected to become operational in 2029.

The future line is relevant when assessing International City’s long-term transport network. However, buyers should separate planned infrastructure from current connectivity. The Blue Line should not be treated as an existing transport service.

For NBCC Al Waha, the final benefit will also depend on the location of the future station and walking or road access from the project.

Access to Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai is further from International City than nearby areas such as Al Warqa and Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Current property data places Downtown Dubai at around 25 minutes by car from International City under normal conditions. Dubai International Airport is estimated at around 15 to 20 minutes.

These figures are useful as general area benchmarks rather than fixed travel times for NBCC Al Waha.

Traffic is an important factor when travelling towards Downtown. Peak-hour journeys can take longer than off-peak trips.

Connectivity to Dubai International Airport

Dubai International Airport is another important destination for residents who travel frequently.

Current International City location data puts the airport at approximately 15 to 20 minutes by car.

There are also bus services connecting International City with airport areas. The N30 route operates between International City Bus Station and Airport Terminal 2.

This gives residents a public transport option, although travel time will be longer than a direct taxi or private-car journey.

NBCC Al Waha Location and Connectivity Summary

NBCC Al Waha is positioned within International City, giving it access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Awir Road. Nearby destinations include Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City and Al Warqa, while Dragon Mart provides a major retail option within the area.

Public transport is currently bus-led, with routes connecting International City to Metro stations and other Dubai districts. The planned Blue Line is expected to bring Metro access to International City in the future.

For buyers assessing NBCC Al Waha, the key location factors are therefore road access, nearby communities, public transport, airport connectivity and future Metro expansion. These points give a clearer picture of the project’s position than relying on broad claims about centrality or convenience.
