Turkish Investor Interest in Dubai
The Turkish share in Dubai real estate is growing rapidly. According to experts, high rental yields, tax advantages, and living standards are directing Turkish investors toward the UAE. The past five years have seen a record surge in investment.
Real Estate Investment Advisor Burak Ustaoğlu stated that Turks are the nation buying the most real estate in Dubai after Emiratis, noting that portfolio diversification, tax-free returns, and secure living conditions are the decisive factors.
Prosperity and Happiness Drive the Interest
Ustaoğlu noted that residents in the region can access luxury living standards on 5–6 months' salary, and that top global institutions like Oxford have branches in Dubai, giving children access to world-class education. He also highlighted that senior executives are transferring to Dubai and Abu Dhabi due to high incomes and tax-free earnings.
Dubai to Have the World's First Street Made Entirely of Gold
Emphasizing Dubai's record of global firsts, Ustaoğlu noted that the world's first street made entirely of gold will be built in Dubai. He mentioned Jebel Ali island — twice the size of Palm Jumeirah — currently under construction, and a new Burj Khalifa-scale structure planned in the Creek Harbour district.
Dubai is also building a mall in Creek Harbour that will surpass its own record as the world's largest, and 2026 will see the world's first flying taxi service launch in Dubai.
