Buoyed by a surge in investor confidence, a steady stream of tourists, and savvy government moves that keep this megacity a global investment darling, Dubai’s real estate scene continues to dazzle.
Haider Khan, CEO of dubizzle and Dubizzle Group Mena, sums it up: “Favourable conditions, high rental yields, and strategic initiatives have further enhanced Dubai’s allure.” The numbers back him up — sales are spiking, rentals are trending upward, and the market feels unstoppable.
Luxury properties remain the crown jewels. Dubai Marina holds its throne as the go-to spot for high-end apartments, with average sales prices hitting Dh2.52 million and rents averaging Dh139,000.
