Al Maktoum International Airport
Set to become the world’s largest airport. As it grows, Dubai South is expected to see a new wave of homes, jobs and businesses around it.
The Dubai Advantage
Why investors from around the world choose Dubai.
Tax-friendly
No personal income tax, no tax on rental income, no capital gains tax and no annual property tax for individual investors. Standard one-time purchase fees, such as the Dubai Land Department transfer fee, still apply.
Strong rental demand
A growing population and steady visitor numbers support high rental yields compared with many global cities.
100% foreign ownership
Foreigners can own freehold property in designated areas.
Stable currency
The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar, which reduces exchange-rate risk for dollar investors.
Safe and modern
Ranked among the safest cities in the world, with world-class infrastructure and healthcare.
Connected
A global aviation hub with direct flights to most major cities.
Residency pathway
Qualifying property purchases can lead to the Golden Visa.
Building the future
Where Dubai is heading

Dubai Square
A landmark new mall by Emaar at the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour, designed as the world’s first drive-through mall, with shopping, dining and entertainment.
Etihad Rail
A national railway linking all seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi to Dubai in under an hour. Dubai’s passenger station is being built at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
