Economy Middle East reported that The UAE real estate market is anticipated to reach a value of AED2.6 trillion ($707.86 billion) by the end of 2024.
This extended growth is attributed to the increased interest of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), particularly their demand for luxury property investments in Dubai.
