Overview
Etoile by Elie Saab is a gated collection of 150 three and four bedroom villas in SEDRA, northern Riyadh, with interiors by Elie Saab Maison and Salmani architecture. Developed by Dar Al Arkan; in its final delivery phase.
Omnia presents Etoile by Elie Saab, a gated collection of 150 villas in SEDRA, a large planned community by Roshn in northern Riyadh. The villas are developed by Dar Al Arkan, the listed Saudi developer with more than 15,300 homes delivered over around 29 years, with interiors carrying the signature of Elie Saab Maison. The homes are three and four bedroom villas, including a set of Wadi Villas oriented to the Wadi Hanifa valley, in the Salmani architectural language with its monolithic forms and textured window-box detailing.
The villas range from around two hundred and forty-five square metres for a three bedroom, on plots of about two hundred to two hundred and fifty, to roughly four hundred and eighty for a larger four bedroom on plots up to four hundred. Each villa has a private rooftop terrace and a front-facing landscaped garden, with the Wadi Villas looking onto the valley. The setting is northern Riyadh, within the SEDRA masterplan and about fifteen minutes from King Khalid International Airport, close to Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University.
Etoile launched in 2023 with a completion target of late 2025, so the community is now in its final delivery phase rather than early off-plan. We confirm the current build and handover status directly with the developer for each villa. Native pricing starts from around 2.58 million Saudi riyals for a three bedroom, which we carry as an approximate guide of about 488,000 pounds.
Etoile suits buyers who want a finished or near-finished branded villa in a gated Riyadh community, with a recognised design signature and a short path to handover. Speak with Omnia for current availability, pricing and the official buyer materials.

Ownership & how to buy
How ownership works.
Who can own
Saudi Arabia opened property ownership to non-Saudis under a law that took effect on 22 January 2026, allowing freehold inside zones designated by the authorities. Jeddah and Riyadh are treated as controlled areas, so eligibility depends on the final designated-zone maps. Omnia confirms the current position for the specific home and your nationality in writing before you commit.
Costs and fees
A real estate transaction tax applies on transfer, with a possible additional fee on transactions involving non-Saudis, a community service charge, and standard costs. Omnia confirms the current figures before you commit.

In detail
A closer reading.
Etoile by Elie Saab is a community of 150 branded villas within SEDRA, a large integrated masterplan by Roshn, the Public Investment Fund developer, in northern Riyadh. A point worth clarifying: SEDRA is developed by Roshn, while Etoile within it is a Dar Al Arkan project. Dar Al Arkan is the listed Saudi developer behind the villas, with more than 15,300 homes delivered over around 29 years; its international arm, Dar Global, sells separate projects overseas.
The homes are three and four bedroom villas, including Wadi Villas that look onto the Wadi Hanifa valley. Three bedroom villas sit at roughly two hundred and forty-five to three hundred square metres on plots of about two hundred to two hundred and fifty, and four bedroom villas at roughly three hundred and five to four hundred and eighty square metres on plots of about two hundred and fifty to four hundred. The exterior follows the Salmani architectural language, with monolithic forms and ancestral textured window boxes, and every villa has a private rooftop terrace and a front-facing garden.
Inside, the villas carry the Elie Saab Maison signature, with signature pieces from the Maison collection, warm wood finishes, marble and a cream palette with bronze accents. Floors and finishes use porcelain tiles and marble, and the kitchens are fitted with integrated appliances. Bedrooms come with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. Specific finish schedules are confirmed with the developer on the current specification.
Timing matters here. Etoile launched in 2023 with construction from 2024 and a published completion target of late 2025. As that date has now passed, we treat the community as in final delivery rather than early off-plan, and we confirm the precise build and handover status for each villa directly with Dar Al Arkan before any commitment. On location, SEDRA sits in northern Riyadh, about fifteen minutes from King Khalid International Airport and close to Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, with the wider Roshn masterplan adding schools, mosques, clinics, retail and sports facilities around the community.
