Wadi Al Safa (Arabic:وادي الصفا) is a community of the Emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It is located in the Sector 6 in the central area of Dubai.
Territory

The territory of the community occupies an area of 80.1 km2[1] in central Dubai.
Wadi Al Safa is divided into six communities:
- Wadi Al Safa 2 (community code 643), to the northeast;
- Wadi Al Safa 3 (community code 645), to the north;
- Wadi Al Safa 4 (community code 646), in the centre;

Apart from the community of Wadi Al Safa 3 which is north of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E 311), all other communities are located between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road north and Emirates Road (E 611) to the south, while to the east they are bounded by Dubai Al Ain Road (D 66) and to the west by Al Qudra Street (D 63).[2]
This is a mainly residential community with buildings and villas of a good standard, even if there is no shortage of uninhabited areas or areas dedicated to nature reserves, particularly in the community of Wadi Al Safa 3. The area provides a good level of services, even if not equally distributed among the various communities, which include: schools for various age levels, leisure areas, shopping malls, restaurants, mosques and health facilities.[3]

There are some surface lines that serve the community, but not as extensively, connecting only the more populated areas of Arabian Ranches and Global Village with neighboring communities.
