  The oasis about 500 metres south of the palace has around 21,000 palms and is the smallest and westernmost of Al Ain’s oases. A falaj carried water to the oasis through an underground channel. Al Ain City Municipality maintains the city’s oases and irrigation systems.

Buying in Al Muwaij'i, Al Ain: rules and costs

• Ownership

• Registration

  ADREC's registration rules allow the Executive Committee to determine the sale registration fee within a range of 1% to 4%, shared equally by seller and buyer unless they agree otherwise. For an off-plan sale in the initial register, the fee is 2% of the property value, shared equally by seller and buyer, up to AED 2,000,000 per transaction.

• Mortgage

  A mortgage can finance part of a purchase, subject to the lender's assessment and the home's eligibility. The Down Payment and borrowing terms affect the cash needed at purchase and the later repayments. The Masterpiece Property mortgage guide explains the lending process and the difference between bank approval and choosing a property.

• Off-plan purchases

  For a home sold off plan, ADREC requires registration of the disposition in the initial register and project payments to be made into the project's escrow account. Payment schedules depend on the sale agreement.

• Golden Visa

  ICP grants real estate investors a 10 year Golden Residency when they fully own one or more properties worth at least AED 2,000,000 in total, registered in their name. A property financed by an approved local bank qualifies, as do off-plan units worth at least AED 2,000,000 bought from an approved developer. ICP decides each application.

  Source: ICP, UAE Golden Residency, updated September 2026.

• Ongoing costs

  The purchase price is only one part of the cost of owning a home. Maintenance and any applicable service charges should be considered alongside mortgage repayments. The applicable charge depends on the home and its management arrangements, so it is useful to review the property's documents before committing.
