The year 2024 was phenomenal for anyone associated with the Dubai real estate market–whether they be investors, real estate agents, or developers! From the number of properties sold to record-breaking sales value of billions of worth within the shortest possible time frame, all were excellent

More Ambitious People Making Their Ways to Dubai: Dubai Government Loves It!

As per a well-known personality in the real estate market, people from the UK in Europe, North America, Asia, Canada are relocating their businesses, families and their property investment portfolio here in Dubai in lieu of a more prosperous life. People hailing from North America and Canada is a surprising scenario as in the past they never ever considered Dubai even for vacations. It is a good sign, indeed! 


Dubai: Monaco of the Middle East


The most friendly taxation system here and a far more welcoming ‘open door policy’ from the Dubai Government in Dubai is believed to be playing a crucial role in attracting the old money big-shots and, also, the newbie elites from overseas. Dubai is the Monaco of the Middle East. Those who know will agree that the Monaco tax system attracts billionaires, millionaires and more in Europe. The same Dubai is following the same system with negligible corporate taxes (just 9%) and no personal income tax and more.  


Dubai city and its real estate market is :


  • 94% cheaper than that of Hong Kong

  • 80% cheaper than than that of Sydney
  • 75% cheaper than that of Paris
  • 70% cheaper than that of Central London
  • 65% cheaper than that of Singapore


The Dubai Government has set a target for itself to reach 5.8 Million population in the next 16 years by attracting more investors and professionals from overseas. The present population is 3.8 Million, and it is a clear signal that the city is ready to roll the carpet for anyone with ambitious plans to make Dubai its preferred base. 


40% of the Fortune 500 Companies (196 best companies worldwide) are headquartered in Dubai! Can you believe it? With more corporates moving their operations here and families relocating here, the demand for luxury real estate in Dubai is in its glorious phase for sure.
