Al Rashidiya 2 is one of three sub-communities that make up Al Rashidiya, in the heart of Ajman Downtown close to the Ajman-Sharjah border. Unlike neighbouring Al Rashidiya 1, which is almost entirely high-rise apartments with no villas, Al Rashidiya 2 offers a genuine mix of older, spacious villas alongside low- to mid-rise apartment buildings, generally ranging from ground plus 4 to ground plus 8 storeys.
Al Rashidiya 2 is a genuinely important freehold community, and expatriates can buy, sell or rent any kind of property here, whether an apartment, an older villa, or commercial space. This makes it one of the more accessible and internationally open districts within Al Rashidiya.
The area has a settled, family-friendly character, home to some of Ajman's most recognisable landmarks, including Ajman Stadium, Rashidiya Ladies Park and the Ajman Ruler's Palace. It suits families and buyers seeking a more spacious, established residential setting than Al Rashidiya 1's denser tower stock, as well as investors drawn to its central location and mix of property types.
Al Rashidiya 2 sits along Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and is close to Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Street, giving residents convenient access to the rest of Ajman, as well as neighbouring Sharjah and Dubai. Multiple bus routes serve the area, giving residents a genuine public transport option alongside private vehicle use.
Al Rashidiya 2 is home to Rashidiya Ladies Park, a popular recreational space reserved for women and children, featuring a cafeteria, a mosque and a children's play area. The area's villas and apartment buildings generally include private or covered parking.
Residents of Al Rashidiya 2 are close to City Centre Ajman and other central Ajman malls, as well as everyday supermarkets and retail within the community itself.
Families in Al Rashidiya 2 commonly use nearby schools, such as International Indian School and City School Ajman, and hospitals and clinics in central Ajman are also within easy reach.
Al Rashidiya 2 has a settled, family-oriented character rather than a nightlife-focused one. Ajman Corniche and central Ajman's malls and restaurants are both a short drive away for a wider evening out.
Al Rashidiya 2's property market spans old, spacious villas, low- to mid-rise apartment buildings, and commercial plots, giving it a genuinely varied residential landscape compared with the high-rise focus of neighbouring Al Rashidiya 1.
Al Rashidiya 2 is home to a number of older, large villas, some featuring 7 or more bedrooms and spanning roughly 6,000 sq. ft. or more. These freehold villas offer considerably more space and privacy than the area's apartment buildings, and are available for both sale and rent to eligible buyers and tenants, including expatriates.
Apartments in Al Rashidiya 2 are generally spread across low- to mid-rise buildings, typically ground plus 4 to ground plus 8 storeys, rather than the taller high-rise towers found in Al Rashidiya 1. Units range from studios to 3-bedroom flats, with well-known developments including Falcon Towers, Zara Residence, and Al Rashidiya Towers, all offering freehold ownership to both UAE nationals and expatriates.
Commercial plots and space are also available in Al Rashidiya 2, reflecting its role as a well-connected, centrally located part of Ajman Downtown. As with any commercial plot purchase, confirm the exact permitted use, plot size and required approvals with the relevant Ajman authority before buying.
