Location: Al Yufrah 1 (The Valley & Sobha Sanctuary)
Al Yufrah 1 is the official DLD area name. Buyers usually search for it as The Valley or Sobha Sanctuary. The area sits on the eastern side of Dubai, away from the coastal districts, and is generally reached from the Dubai-Al Ain Road and Emirates Road corridor. Check the exact distances to your workplace or school before you commit.
This type of location tends to suit buyers who want a villa and more space rather than a beachfront or downtown apartment. It may suit families, and investors who are comfortable with a longer build period. It is a newer, developing part of Dubai, so road links, shops and schools may continue to change over the next few years.

Construction progress and handover
The DLD register shows 0% progress, with construction starting in March 2026. Expected completion is Q4 2029. That is the date on the register, and it is an estimate. Off-plan completion dates can move, so read the handover clause in the sales and purchase agreement (SPA) carefully.
Before you buy, check these points:
- The latest progress percentage on the DLD register.
- The handover date and any grace period written into the SPA.
- The payment schedule and whether instalments are linked to construction milestones.
- The floor plans, specification and service charge estimates for your chosen villa.

How to buy off-plan in The Valley - Avelia
- Choose your villa. Ask for the current availability, floor plans and price list.
- Reserve. You pay a reservation deposit and sign a reservation form. Ask what is refundable.
- Sign the SPA. This sets the price, payment schedule and handover terms.
- Register with DLD. Off-plan sales are registered through Oqood. The DLD registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, plus smaller admin fees.
- Pay into escrow. Under Dubai law, buyer instalments for registered off-plan projects go into a regulated escrow account, not to the developer directly. Confirm the account details in your paperwork.
- Handover. You inspect and accept the villa once the developer completes it.
Foreign buyers can generally purchase property in designated freehold areas of Dubai. Confirm freehold status for your villa in writing. A property value of AED 2 million or more may qualify the buyer for a Golden Visa, subject to current rules. Our buying in Dubai FAQ covers fees, mortgages and visas in more detail.
