Wedyan – The Canal

Project general facts

Wedyan – The Canal by Al Ghurair Collection is a sculptural waterfront tower and the first project in Dubai by the renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Inspired by the raw beauty of Middle Eastern valleys, rugged mountains and wind-carved desert dunes, the tower rises with fluid contours along the water's edge. Landscaping by Gustafson Porter + Bowman weaves nature into every outdoor space. The project offers a limited collection of three-, four- and five-bedroom residences, penthouses and a grand sky villa.

Amenities unfold across themed levels. The Valley brings together a cardio and strength zone, reformer pilates and yoga, a padel court and a spin studio, while The Shore offers a golf simulator, a games room, swimming pools, a private cinema and dining lounges. The Cave is a wellness sanctuary with an indoor lagoon, a hydrotherapy spa, a warm salt room, treatment rooms and an ice bath. The Mountain adds private offices, boardrooms, a cigar lounge, a majlis and private dining spaces.

Residences feature flowing layouts and expansive terraces that dissolve the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Every home includes a show kitchen for family time and a separate service kitchen with its own access for a private chef. Primary suites play with light and shadow, and selected residences extend to a private pavilion inspired by Japanese tea houses. Finishes include travertine and crema perla stone, walnut and ash veneers and brushed nickel fixtures, with furniture left to the owner's own taste.

Location description and benefits

The Dubai Canal runs through the heart of the city, linking Business Bay with Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah and the coastline. Its banks combine a calm waterfront setting with the energy of the surrounding skyline, lined with promenades, cycle paths, restaurants, a shopping centre and landscaped open spaces. Dubai Opera, Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Zayed Road all sit close to this central stretch of water.

The Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa are a short drive away, and Dubai International Airport is easily reached. Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence and Mall of the Emirates are within comfortable driving distance, while Al Maktoum International Airport connects residents with the wider region. Sheikh Zayed Road provides direct links to the city's main business districts and leisure destinations.

The Dubai Canal is one of the city's most prestigious waterfront addresses, with a limited supply of large-format residences directly on the water. Its central position between Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Jumeirah supports strong demand from high-net-worth buyers and premium tenants. Freehold ownership, exceptional connectivity and the scarcity of comparable canal-front homes underpin long-term value for owners and investors.
