Just as the Nile was the lifeline of the ancient Egyptian civilisation, the story of Soma Bay begins with a respect for the land and its heritage. The story is perhaps likened best to a journey that begins with arrival at the seashore, travelling toward the internal destinations, finally culminating at the summit of the northern rocky peaks.
The golf clubhouse was designed to reflect a modern interpretation of a traditional dhow in full sail capturing the essence of Dubai's seafaring traditions and the majesty and simplicity of the lateen-rigged dhows as they sailed up and down the coastline of Dubai.
Soma Bay is organised into interrelated development districts. The initial form begins to take shape based on the desired development mix which have been categorised according to their geographical character as the lower coastal plateau marina or harbour district; the strand or beach zone; the upper coastal plateau; the wadi zone; the desert plain and the mountain.
