Dubai and Abu Dhabi as Catalysts
Dubai’s iconic skyline, free‑zone incentives, and diversified economy attract global investors. Abu Dhabi’s focus on mixed‑use developments and sustainability initiatives, such as Masdar City, adds depth to the UAE’s real‑estate landscape.
Capital Flows and Investor Appetite
