Ha, well that changes things then!! I imagine the problem with google earth etc is that they are fairly new, so maybe they don't show from the last pass used by the satellite mapping stuff. Basically from Arabian ranches go the opposite direction from the coast about 2-3kms and you should see them, right on the corner of a large 12 lane highway.
There is probably 75-100ish families moved in already, it is still very much under construction though with only a few streets being fully completed. The pools etc are probably many months away from being done. The villas are nice, most people already here are in large 4 bedroom villas but there are probably more 3 bed villas left available now, so not sure what you may get. It is a bit isolated, you have to drive about 15kms to the nearest mall, but there is a small store in Arabian ranches which is closer.
Take a look at this site, they have some floorplans etc, and some artists impressions of what it will all look like. Let me know if you need more info, I'm happy to help.
