Dubai’s real estate sector has transformed over the last two decades, evolving into one of the most attractive property markets in the world. In 2025, it continues to be a magnet for both local and global investors, thanks to strong rental yields, a tax-friendly environment, and high capital growth potential.
As part of the UAE’s Vision 2030, the government is driving infrastructure expansion, business-friendly reforms, and residency incentives such as the Golden Visa, all of which fuel real estate demand.
