The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary
One and two bedroom apartments in The Woods, the forest themed neighbourhood of Sobha Sanctuary on Al Ain Road, from AED 999,000.

My take on The Woods Horizon
The Woods Horizon is the newest apartment building in The Woods, the forest led neighbourhood of Sobha Sanctuary, Sobha's new master community on Al Ain Road. It sits alongside The Woods Abode, with one and two bedroom homes looking over parks and woodland.
Sobha builds and fits out everything itself, which is why its finished stock tends to hold value. The 60/40 plan asks for 20% on booking, then 10% at a time through the build, with 40% on completion.
This is a longer dated purchase, with completion in Q4 2030, so it suits a buyer who wants Sobha quality at a sub AED 1 million entry and can wait for it.
Who it suits
- Buyers who rate Sobha's build quality
- Investors looking for a sub AED 1 million Sobha entry
- Long term holders comfortable with a 2030 handover
What to weigh up
- Completion is not expected until Q4 2030
- A 20% deposit is higher than some rivals
- Al Ain Road is a drive from the city centre
