BIG CAPITAL BEING INJECTED INTO JUMEIRAH'S GOLF COMMUNITIES

Dubai offers excellent asset classes in terms of investment, while sentiment continues to be high on branded investments

Dubai continues to be in the spotlight as one of the most dominant markets for real estate, with Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Ras Al Khaimah complementing the sector's growth in the GCC, says Eyal Ashur, a luxury real estate specialist at Aqua Properties. Excerpts from an interview.

The GCC's most dominant market - Dubai is currently at an all-time high, and there are no concrete indicators to show the market is going to slow down anytime soon. On the contrary, other markets such as Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah are following Dubai's example.

Which markets are showing the strongest performance right now, and why?

The strongest performance is still seen in Dubai. The city continues to be a stronghold for many expats, as the offerings here are more abundant and most expats live here. Making the move from a western country to the GCC was unheard of for many just a few years back, and now everyone is talking about it, with Dubai being the first that comes to mind.
