Dubai, a city renowned for its architectural ambition, welcomes a new landmark with the launch of Wedyan, the inaugural project of Al Ghurair Collection. As the ultra-prime residential portfolio of Al Ghurair Development, Wedyan embodies six decades of the Al Ghurair family’s legacy while introducing an unprecedented vision of design and luxury living along the Dubai Canal.
Wedyan, meaning “valleys,” is the first UAE project by globally celebrated architect Kengo Kuma, known for his cultural masterpieces such as the Japan National Stadium and the China Academy of Art’s Folk Art Museum. The design harmoniously connects architecture with nature, reflecting the flowing movements of water and sand while integrating soft shadows and textured façades that echo Dubai’s desert rhythms. Every aspect of Wedyan is crafted to offer originality, sophistication, and a tranquil dialogue between the cityscape and natural elements.
Standing 46 storeys tall, Wedyan hosts 149 meticulously designed residences, ranging from three- to five-bedroom apartments, alongside full-floor penthouses and a three-storey sky villa. Generous terraces, multifunctional outdoor spaces, and Japanese teahouse-inspired pavilions create an intimate yet versatile living experience. Select residences feature specialised glazing to protect artworks from UV rays and bespoke back-of-house kitchens to facilitate seamless hosting of catered events.
The development is a testament to Al Ghurair Collection’s commitment to collaboration and detail, involving over 30 specialists covering lighting, kitchen design, façade, parking, and landscaping. Gustafson Porter + Bowman have contributed to the verdant terraces and shaded promenades, while a carefully curated planting palette ensures resilience and aesthetic harmony in Dubai’s climate. Ground-level promenades and water features enhance the waterfront’s allure, positioning Wedyan as a beacon of elegance along Dubai Canal.
Residents enjoy over 65,000 sq ft of dedicated amenity spaces designed for wellness, leisure, and entertainment. Highlights include The Oasis arrival experience, a temperate-controlled luxury car stacker, The Shore and The Valley active living spaces, The Cave wellness cocoon, and The Mountain for private meetings. Complementing these are private treatment rooms, reformer Pilates studios, a podcast room, and boxing facilities, alongside filtered air and water systems integrated throughout.
Wedyan’s strategic waterfront location places residents minutes from Dubai’s cultural, business, and retail districts, including Business Bay, Jumeirah, and Downtown Dubai, while offering seamless access to Dubai International Airport. The Al Ghurair Collection Sales Centre at Mashreq HQ Tower in Downtown Dubai provides prospective buyers with an immersive introduction to Wedyan’s design ethos and visionary living experience.
Wedyan represents more than a residence; it is a landmark of innovation, luxury, and cultural sophistication—a defining moment in Dubai’s real estate landscape and the global footprint of Al Ghurair’s six-decade legacy.
