Al Nahda (Arabic: النهدة) is a locality in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).[2] Located in eastern Dubai in Deira, Al Nahda forms part of Dubai's eastern border with the emirate of Sharjah. Portions of Al Nahda that flow north into the emirate of Sharjah fall within that emirate's jurisdiction. Although, Al Nahda 1 and 2 come under the Dubai jurisdiction. Meanwhile Al Nahda Sharjah comes under the jurisdiction of the emirate of Sharjah.
Al Nahda is bordered to the south and east by Al Qusais, and to the west by Al Mamzar. It is bounded to the north by route E 11 (Al Ittihad Road) and to the south by a local road (204 Road). Al Nahda comprises two subcommunities — Al Nahda 1 and Al Nahda 2.
Like Muhaisnah, the community was originally carved out of the industrial areas of Al Qusais, but it has undergone extensive and mostly residential development in recent years. Landmarks include Dubai Women's College, Al Nahda Pond Park and Sahara Centre (the largest mall in the emirate of Sharjah).
