What types of property can I buy in the UAE?

Buyers can choose from apartments, villas, townhouses, penthouses and other residential properties across the UAE. The choice varies by location, with apartments more common in central and waterfront areas and villas and townhouses more prevalent in established family communities. Dubai and Abu Dhabi also offer a growing selection of branded residences and newly launched properties.

How much does property cost in the UAE?

Property prices in the UAE vary considerably by emirate, location, property type, and size. Apartments can start from around AED 500,000 in some areas, while villas generally start from around AED 1 million and can reach tens of millions of dirhams in prime locations. At the upper end of the market, large villas, penthouses, and waterfront properties in areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, and Saadiyat Island can sell for AED 20 million, AED 50 million, or considerably more.

Can foreigners buy property in the UAE?

Yes, foreigners can buy property in designated freehold areas across the UAE. Dubai and Abu Dhabi both have areas where international buyers can purchase residential property, though rules vary by emirate and location. Depending on the property and area, buyers can purchase whether they live in the UAE or are based overseas.
