Mira and Mira Oasis are two established residential communities within Reem, an area developed by Emaar. Situated in the suburban expanse of Dubai, these communities provide practical and family-oriented living spaces while maintaining close proximity to key urban centers.
The History of the Development
When Emaar announced the Reem community in 2013, it was part of an ambitious vision to create a larger integrated suburban area in Dubai. However, the broader master plan for Reem was never fully realized. Despite this, Mira and Mira Oasis emerged as self-contained communities that offer a range of amenities and a strong neighborhood feel.
The first phase of the development, Mira, was launched in 2013 and became one of Emaar’s most popular projects at the time due to its affordability. Following this success, Mira Oasis was announced in 2014 to cater to increasing demand, and it was completed in subsequent phases.
Today, Mira and Mira Oasis stand as the core of the Reem community, attracting residents seeking balance between affordability and convenience.
Size and Location
- Mira: Consists of five sub-communities with approximately 1,800 villas and townhouses. Each sub-community is thoughtfully designed with parks and open spaces.
- Mira Oasis: Slightly larger, with three sub-communities and over 1,300 villas and townhouses. It emphasizes open layouts and modern design.
Both communities are located along Al Qudra Road, a key route linking them to other parts of Dubai. While this location offers accessibility, traffic congestion during peak hours can be a concern. Ongoing infrastructure improvements, such as upgraded roadways and new exits, aim to address these challenges.
