The first $5B phase of Sobha Siniya Island, a luxury development on one of the UAE’s largest
natural islands, is set to welcome over 25,000 residents across 8,000 units upon completion.
Francis Alfred, managing director of Sobha Realty, described the project, located off the Umm Al
Quwain coast, as a unique development that combines high-quality residential and commercial
spaces with a commitment to preserving natural surroundings. He noted, “Siniya Island is a

features include residences—apartments, villas, mansions—two luxury resorts, parks, malls,
