Minimal taxes, quick payback, 5% per annum yield, great infrastructure, and high level – everything you can get for your investments in the UAE hotel business.
Dubai is a young city. Back in the middle of the 20th century, its place was a village whose inhabitants earned by pearl mining. After oil was discovered in the mid-1960s things changed. Investors from Europe and the US, from India and Pakistan became the labor force.
The village turned into a city – the capital of the emirate became the pearl of the whole country. However, oil was not a major factor in Dubai’s success (only 5% of all UAE reserves). A more important driver was the creation of a free economic zone in 1985 with favorable tax and customs systems. Foreign businessmen can conduct business without the participation of local partners. This policy has attracted many investors in Dubai, including the real estate sector.

Dubai today is an ever-growing economy, with minimal taxes for individuals, a stable exchange rate, and 100% ownership of property. Objects that decorate the city are known all over the world: the tallest building on the planet (828 m) ‘Burj Khalifa’, one of the most expensive hotels ‘Burj al Arab’ in the form of a sail, and the highest Ferris wheel.
Dubai’s outstanding business activity and ever-growing tourist flow are creating more job vacancies and opportunities for overseas entrepreneurs. As a result, the demand for renting apartments from expats is growing every year.
