In recent years, Dubai has seen a tremendous amount of investment inflows from all over the world. Investors have been attracted to the city’s strong economic growth, stable political environment, and plentiful investment opportunities.

It’s reported that over 16% of Russian entrepreneurs and companies moved to the UAE, including Dubai, in the first half of 2022. Additionally, the property developers in Dubai also benefited from Qatar hosting the Fifa 2022 World Cup. Because Dubai holds the status of being a ‘finance hub’ and it being the main tourist attraction of the region, it became the main beneficiary outside of Qatar.
