This makes it an ideal location for those seeking a unique living experience surrounded by nature.

Al Siniya Island is an ideal escape from city life, offering warm blue waters and private waterfront neighborhoods. Also known as the ‘Pearl of the Gulf’, the island is home to lush mangroves, seagrass beds, and mesmerizing beaches. It features mudflats, salt marshes, natural rock edges, and historical sites like a sixth-century monastery and stone circles, showcasing Umm Al Quwain’s rich heritage as the oldest pearl town in the Arabian Gulf.
The Dh2.47 billion project in Umm Al Quwain will feature luxurious waterfront villas, mansions, townhouses, apartments, hotels, and various recreational facilities. The Government of Umm Al Quwain announced this massive development for Siniyah Island, the oldest island in the UAE, known for its rich nature, diverse wildlife, and rare archaeological sites.
Sheikh Rashid bin Saud bin Rashid Al Mua'lla, Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain, witnessed the signing of the first phase of the Al Siniyah Island Development Project. This phase involves building a three-lane bridge that will connect the island to Ittihad Road. The two-way 2.5km bridge, costing Dh300 million, will be completed in the next 20 months, making it easier for citizens and residents to access the island, currently accessible only by boat. Set at a speed of 100km/hr, about 1km of the curved bridge will be over the water.
The first phase of the island development project includes the construction of villas and two hotels. The massive development project, spanning over 30 million square feet, aims to promote the emirate as a key tourist and commercial destination and drive development.
Upon completion, the island will house 300 luxurious waterfront villas and mansions, 250 townhouses, 14 buildings with over 570 apartment units, two hotels, a wide array of shops, restaurants, recreational facilities, and community centers. Around 80 villas will have their own private berths. The estimated population for the first phase is 5,600, and once complete, the island will be home to 28,000 people.
Al Sinniyah Island stands as a testament to Umm Al Quwain's commitment to blending luxury with nature and heritage. This unique destination, rich in biodiversity and historical significance, offers a luxurious lifestyle in harmony with its natural surroundings. The Sobha Siniya Island project is set to become a landmark development, attracting residents and tourists alike with its blend of modern amenities and eco-friendly practices.
