Across all seven Emirates combined, real estate transactions reached AED 893 billion — showcasing how vital Dubai is within the UAE’s property market. Looking ahead, 2025 is projected to surpass AED 800 billion in Dubai alone. This momentum is not slowing down - it reflects a maturing market that is attracting global capital.

This isn’t speculation — it’s a city proving itself on the world stage and opening doors for investors, end-users, and businesses alike.
