Hudayriyat Island masterplan Modon Modon reveals the island's masterplan of more than 51 million square meters, with homes on and around two hill communities it then gave as 45 and 50 meters high.
This viki covers Nawayef, Modon's community of villas and mansions on man-made hills on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi. It leads with Nawayef South, the third hill, which Modon told the broker Emigeo it will launch in December 2026 and about which nothing is published yet, and it gives the first two hills' figures as labeled reference: Nawayef East's prices, sizes for all 19 home types, the 40/60 payment plan worked out in dirhams, floor plans, drive times checked on a map, the construction contract, how Modon's other launches sold, and scenes from Modon's own films.
As of Nov 12, 2026, the next thing to go on sale at Nawayef is its third hill, Nawayef South. Modon told Emigeo, the broker behind Homes.me, that it launches in December 2026. Modon itself has published nothing yet: no day, no price, no home types, no payment plan. Its website still lists only Nawayef East, the second hill, from AED 6.6M, and the film playing here shows that east hill, not South.

Three hills, one of them unannounced
Nawayef is built on hills that did not exist: Modon's contract release calls them the world's largest man-made hills. Two are public. Nawayef West came first (Modon's films of it date from June 2024), and Nawayef East followed on Nov 7, 2024, each with the same three collections: Homes of 4 and 5 bedrooms, Heights of 5 to 7, and hilltop Mansions of 6 to 8. Between them, in the valley, Modon later sold the Nawayef Village townhouses and the Nawayef Park Views apartments (Masterplan and Amenities).
Nawayef South is the third hill, and everything known about it fits in a few lines. That page separates what Modon told Emigeo from what Modon has published, which so far is nothing, and lists the questions a buyer should have answered at launch.
Modon's 2024 film of the first hill shows the idea the third will repeat: a wooded rise above flat reclaimed land, with the city's towers on the horizon.
What the first two hills cost, for reference
Until South has figures of its own, the nearest guide is the hill before it. Prices and Home Types works out Nawayef East's starting prices per square foot from Modon's own brochures: about AED 1,657 per sq ft for the smallest Home and about AED 1,498 for the smallest Heights villa. Payment Plan turns the east hill's 40/60 plan into dirhams, and Floor Plans links all 19 of Modon's type brochures. None of it is South's.
How fast South sells is the other open question. Modon told Emigeo that the first two hills sold out in under 12 hours; no press release says so, and How Modon Launches Sold sets that claim beside the sell-outs Modon has announced in writing.
What we think
- We think Nawayef South launches with the same three collections as the hills before it: Homes, Heights and Mansions.
- We think its Homes open above the east hill's AED 6.6M.
- We think its first release holds the Mansions back, as the east hill's did. More of our predictions

Buying
- Handover and Construction
No handover date exists for Nawayef South. Nawayef East is scheduled for December 2028, 49 months after its launch, and Modon awarded the AED 5 billion main contract for the east and west hills' 735 villas on Dec 19, 2025, about AED 6.8M of construction per villa by our arithmetic.
- How to Register Interest
Nawayef South cannot be booked yet. Until Modon opens sales, expected in December 2026 by what it told the broker Emigeo, a buyer can register with Modon directly or with a broker, at no cost and with no home reserved. Abu Dhabi now routes paid expressions of interest through a government platform.
- Payment Plan
Nawayef South's payment plan is not published. Nawayef East, the hill before it, sells on 40/60, 10% down, 30% during construction and 60% on handover, which is AED 2.64M before handover on a AED 6.6M Home. Modon lists four different splits across Hudayriyat Island.
- Prices and Home Types
Nawayef South has no published prices. For reference, Modon lists Nawayef East Homes from AED 6.6M and Heights from AED 19.3M, which we work out at about AED 1,657 and AED 1,498 per square foot of built-up area, across 19 designs from 370 to 3,484 sq m.
Community
- Hudayriyat Island
Hudayriyat Island is Modon's 51 million sq m island off Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi, where Nawayef stands. On Nov 12, 2026 Modon lists seven communities there, from apartments at AED 2M to villas at AED 9M, and Nawayef South, due in December 2026 by a broker's account, would be the eighth.
- Location and Drive Times
Nawayef sits in the middle of Hudayriyat Island, opposite Al Bateen in Abu Dhabi. Modon's map for the east hill gives 20 minutes to Downtown Abu Dhabi and 34 to Zayed International Airport; our own route check on Nov 12, 2026 found 16 km and 19 minutes to the city center without traffic.
- Masterplan and Amenities
Nawayef is a neighborhood of two public hills with a valley between them on Hudayriyat Island. Villas and mansions ring the hills, the Nawayef Village townhouses and Nawayef Park Views apartments fill the valley, and a third hill, Nawayef South, is still missing from every plan Modon has published.
Developer
- How Modon Launches Sold
Modon has announced five sell-outs on Hudayriyat Island in writing, from Nawayef Village's 378 homes in a day to Hudayriyat Golf Estates' AED 13 billion in days. The claim that the Nawayef hills sold out in under 12 hours is what Modon told the broker Emigeo, and no press release confirms it.
- Modon
Modon is the Abu Dhabi developer of Nawayef and the master developer of Hudayriyat Island. It is 84.76% owned by L'imad Holding, an Abu Dhabi government company, reported AED 26 billion of real estate sales in the first half of 2026, and, by what it told the broker Emigeo, launches Nawayef South next, in December 2026.
Hills
- Nawayef East
Nawayef East is the second hill of Modon's Nawayef, launched on Nov 7, 2024 with Homes from AED 6.6M on a 40/60 plan and handover scheduled for December 2028. On Nov 12, 2026 it is still the only Nawayef hill with prices on Modon's website, which makes it the reference for Nawayef South.
- Nawayef West
Nawayef West is the first hill of Modon's Nawayef on Hudayriyat Island, with six Homes, eight Heights and five Mansions designs that the east hill later repeated. Modon published no launch release or price page for it; its films date from June 2024 and its brochures remain on Modon's interactive map.
Homes
- Floor Plans
Nawayef South's floor plans are not released. Modon publishes a brochure for each of the 19 designs on Nawayef East, linked here with bedrooms, floors and built-up areas, and the west hill's brochures show the same designs, so these are the likeliest guide to the third hill.
Overview
- Nawayef
Nawayef is Modon's community of villas and mansions on man-made hills on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi. Its third hill, Nawayef South, is next: Modon told the broker Emigeo it launches in December 2026, and as of Nov 12, 2026 Modon has published no price, plan or date for it.
- Nawayef South
Nawayef South is the third hill of Modon's Nawayef on Hudayriyat Island. Modon told the broker Emigeo it launches in December 2026. As of Nov 12, 2026 Modon has published no launch day, price, home type, size, payment plan, handover date or image for it.
- Predictions
We think Nawayef South goes on sale by the end of January 2027 with Homes, Heights and Mansions again, and that its Homes start between AED 7.5M and AED 9M. Vi.ki's own predictions on Nawayef, each with a date it can be checked by.
