SAMANA South Haven

SAMANA South Haven in Dubai South. Studio to 2 BHK apartments from AED 599,000 on a 1% monthly plan, minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport. Handover June 2029.

SAMANA South Haven sits in Dubai South, in the Dubai Industrial City pocket, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. Studios start at AED 599,000. What makes it work for most of our clients isn't the price alone, it's the payment structure: 1% a month, stretched across 75 months on the PDC plan. That turns a Dubai apartment into something you fund from monthly income rather than a lump sum you have to assemble first.

Apartment Types, Sizes and Starting Prices

• Studio, 354.56 to 373.4 sq ft, from AED 599,000
• 1 BHK, 551.22 to 878.77 sq ft, from AED 899,000
• 2 BHK, 932.57 to 1,082.63 sq ft, from AED 1,319,000

All units are freehold, open to buyers of any nationality. There is also a 100% upfront payment offer on studios at a lower price, currently around AED 493,000, which suits cash buyers rather than anyone using the monthly plan. Sizes and per-unit pricing are on the floor plan sheet, which you can request without filling in a long form.

Payment Plan Explained

• PDC Plan: 10% down, 5% in month 4, 10% in month 12, then 1% monthly for 75 months
• Non-PDC Plan: 15% down, 5% in month 4, 10% in month 12, then 1% monthly for 70 months
• when you book through Saiban Associates

The difference between the two is simply whether you hand over post dated cheques. PDC needs a UAE bank account, so most Pakistan-based buyers end up on the Non-PDC plan and pay the extra 5% upfront. Worth budgeting for that before you start.

Separate from the price, plan for the 4% DLD registration fee and the administration fee. Nobody enjoys finding those out at signing.

Why Dubai South, and What the Risk Is

Dubai South is a master-planned district built around Al Maktoum International Airport, which is slated to become the largest airport in the world, and Expo City. The logic is straightforward. Airport expansion brings jobs, jobs bring tenants, tenants bring rent. Dubai South has been among the stronger gross rental yield areas in the city, sitting near the top of the table alongside JVC and International City rather than with the premium waterfront communities.

Now the honest part. Dubai South is still filling in. A lot of the value here is priced on what the district becomes, not what it already is, and the airport expansion runs on a government timeline rather than yours. Dubai's wider delivery pipeline is heavy across 2027 and 2028, and Dubai South is one of the communities contributing meaningfully to it. If you're buying to flip inside two years of handover, that supply matters. If you're holding several years on a 1% plan your salary covers comfortably, it matters a lot less.

We say this to clients directly: this is a hold, not a flip.

Buying From Pakistan

You don't need UAE residency to buy here, and you don't need to fly out to sign. What you do need is a clean documentation trail. Saiban Associates handles NICOP verification, Power of Attorney where you want someone acting on your behalf, DLD registration, and coordination of the remittance through proper banking channels including Roshan Digital.

One thing we insist on before any money moves: check the developer's escrow account number against the DLD listing, and get the current payment schedule in writing. Off-plan terms get revised between launch phases, and a WhatsApp forward from three months ago is not a payment plan. We do this verification on every booking, and you should expect it from any agency you deal with.

If the Golden Visa is part of your thinking, note that a single studio here won't reach the AED 2 million threshold on its own. You can combine multiple properties to get there, and off-plan purchases count via the Oqood. Confirm current criteria with the DLD before you plan around it, because these rules do get revised.
