Where Al Yalayis 1 is
Al Yalayis 1 is an inland district in the south of Dubai. It sits east of Arabian Ranches and The Oasis by Emaar, and south of Global Village and the Dubailand corridor. Two main roads frame it: Emirates Road (E611), the outer ring road that links Sharjah with Jebel Ali and Abu Dhabi, and Al Qudra Street (D63), which runs inland towards the Al Qudra desert area.
The location for Ellington's new master community comes from a map link supplied with the pre-launch estimate sheet. It resolves to a single point. It is a reference for where the community is, not a site plan. Other marketing pages place their markers a few hundred metres away, so do not read too much into any single pin until Ellington publishes the masterplan.
Measured drive times
We measured every route by road from the supplied point to the centre of each destination using OpenStreetMap routing on 20 October 2026. The times assume free-flowing traffic. Rush-hour journeys on Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road can take noticeably longer.

What the location means for buyers
This is a suburban location for people who want space, not a city-centre address. The trade-off is familiar from Arabian Ranches and The Oasis: larger homes and green space in exchange for a 25 to 35 minute drive to the business districts.
Three things work in its favour. First, the established villa belt of Arabian Ranches, The Oasis and Jumeirah Golf Estates is within about 20 minutes, which brings schools, clinics and retail that already exist rather than ones still to be built. Second, Emirates Road gives direct access north towards Sharjah and south towards Al Maktoum International and Expo City, which matters as Dubai South grows. Third, the community's own plans include a school, college, medical facility, retail and fitness trails, according to the pre-launch guidance, although operators and opening dates have not been confirmed.
The main question to ask at launch is which road the community will enter from. An entrance off Emirates Road and one off Al Qudra Street would give quite different daily journeys.
