[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.

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).
