The link bridge to the island is almost complete and dredging works have already commenced.

The $5 billion first phase of Sobha Siniya Island, a luxury development on one of the largest natural
islands in the UAE, will welcome more than 25,000 residents across 8,000 units on completion.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Francis Alfred, managing director of Sobha Realty, said 'the one-of-its-
kind iconic development' off the Umm Al Quwain coast will set a new benchmark on preserving
nature when building opulent and high-quality residential and commercial spaces.

“The Siniya Island is an untapped gem with immense natural heritage, which we aim to showcase to
the world through Sobha Siniya, a joint venture with Umm Al Quwain Properties. The development
is set to positively transform the city of UAQ, and attract superior-quality developments, thereby
improving the residents’ standard of living,” says Alfred.

The link bridge to the island is almost complete and dredging works have already commenced,
which is vital to the creation of Sobha Siniya’s boat mooring villas and marinas. The onsite
infrastructure will begin this quarter and building works are expected to start in Q2 of 2025.
