Boosting Global Investment Appeal in Dubai

Dubai is ramping up its efforts to attract international property investors, aiming for Dh1 trillion in real estate transactions by 2033. According to Majid Saqer Almarri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the emirate is actively implementing strategic programs to position itself as a top global destination for real estate investment.

Strategic Real Estate Vision for the Future

Launched in October, the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 includes 30 initiatives aimed at enhancing investor experience and market transparency. One of the first to roll out is the Smart Rental Index, an AI-powered tool that provides accurate rental data by analyzing previous and current agreements along with building classifications.
This innovation is part of Dubai’s commitment to streamline real estate transactions and enhance ease of doing business.

Global Demand on the Rise

In 2024, Dubai’s property sector recorded Dh761 billion in transactions, attracting strong investor interest from countries like the UK, France, Pakistan, and the Americas. Key factors driving this demand include high return on investment (ROI), safety, tax-free returns, and a luxury lifestyle offering.

Indian investors continue to top the charts as the largest group of foreign buyers in Dubai’s real estate market. With a strong appetite for high-yield opportunities, affordability, and premium lifestyle offerings, Dubai remains a top choice. Almarri also noted ongoing efforts to engage Indian investors through visits and targeted programs.

Growing International Presence Through Real Estate Events

At IPS Congress 2025, Almarri highlighted Dubai’s global outreach. The emirate hosts over 500 international exhibitions annually, with the International Property Show (IPS) drawing attendees from the USA, Brazil, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Dawood Al-Shezawi, Head of the IPS Organising Committee, revealed that over 110,000 new investors entered the Dubai property market in 2024, with even more expected in 2025.

Conclusion: 

Dubai’s real estate sector is not just expanding—it’s transforming. With its ambitious 2033 strategy, advanced technology, and strong focus on international collaboration, the city is paving the way to become one of the world’s most attractive, transparent, and future-ready property markets.
For investors looking to enter a thriving and secure market, Dubai offers unmatched potential, global connectivity, and forward-thinking policies that make property investment smarter and more rewarding than ever before.
