Dubai’s DAMAC hands over first Sharia compliant property

Ghalia, Damac’s first Sharia compliant offering, has entered the handover phase with the first residents being welcomed.

The development houses 727 fully furnished, luxury apartments and is located in the heart of the Jumeirah Village Circle community.

“Ghalia is our first Sharia compliant project, catering to the growing demand for luxury living that complies with Sharia laws,” said Ali Sajwani, general manager of operations, Damac Properties. “These are ready-to-live-in apartments, and residents will find that we have paid attention to every last detail in terms of furnishing and accessorising their space.”

In keeping with Sharia law, Ghalia features separate amenities for men and women, including separate dining facilities, gymnasiums and swimming pools.

The residential tower also offers a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with kitchens, furnishings, bathroom fittings and bedrooms.

Sajwani said: “This year, we are focusing on the completion and delivery of ongoing projects. With the handover of Ghalia, our total number of units delivered will cross the 25,000 mark. In 2018, we handed over 4,100 units, setting a new record for ourselves and we are aiming to out-do last year’s record by handing over more dream homes and hotel units this year.”
