Dubai’s Strong Expat Appeal Boosts its Financial Prospects

Dubai has consistently ranked among the top 10 cities globally as the most liveable location for expatriates in recent years.

With a large expat population of over 80%, Dubai relies heavily on international residents and workers to power its economy.

The steady demand from expats has been a major factor supporting the real estate market.

As one of few major cities worldwide without income taxes, Dubai remains an attractive hub for high-income expats.

This draws multinational companies to set up regional headquarters and operations centers in business districts like Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC).

Even during economic downturns when local Emirati and GCC citizen buying drops off, continued expat demand has provided a price floor for the property sector.
