In 1990, Dubai had a population of 550,000. 30 years later, the population has multiplied by 6.5 and is set to double by 2040. By then, we'll have around 6 million inhabitants. The exponential growth of this dynamic city explains the real estate boom. Indeed, in order to accommodate all these new inhabitants, Dubai has no choice but to continue expanding, and therefore to build new real estate. It's easy to see why there's so much demand for real estate purchases and rentals, when the number of transactions is measured in billions of dirhams every day. What's more, the simplicity of the process encourages investors from all over the world to take the plunge. A passport is all you need to invest and own property in the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai is constantly one step ahead of the rest of the world, and today allows investors to pay for their property in crypto-currencies directly with the developer. For all these reasons, the Emirati real estate market is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic in the world.

The absence of taxes and interest charges are further strong arguments in favor of Dubai real estate. A stable economy, a healthy environment and the ease of doing business - as the MENA's leading and the world's eighth-largest financial center - make Dubai a highly profitable destination. Companies from all over the world are attracted by the opportunities on offer. As a result, the long-term viability of companies in Dubai is far more certain than in the rest of the world.

In addition, Dubai International Airport is the Middle East's largest hub, handling millions of passengers every year. Dubai's ideal geographical position is a great incentive to invest in real estate. A six-hour flight from two-thirds of the world, the Persian Gulf city is a perfect air corridor for business, but not only. Dubai was the world's most visited city in the first half of 2022, and was named "World's Most Popular Tourist Destination" at the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2022.

Hotel occupancy rates are breaking records. In the first quarter of 2022, the occupancy rate was 82%, 68% higher than in New York or Paris. Tourists spend a fortune, averaging $530 a day, which is a major boost to the economy.

Dubai doesn't just excel in the air, with the world's largest fleet of A380s, it's also a major shipping hub. The port of Jebel Ali is the busiest in the Middle East and the ninth busiest in the world. It's easy to see that Dubai is still expanding, and will continue to attract the world's elite to invest in real estate.

In concrete terms, it's an undervalued city. The price per m2 is three times less than in Paris, five times less than in Singapore and four times less than in New York, while its power equals or even surpasses them. As a result, specialists predict that the price per m2, currently around 3,900 euros, will rise steadily to match those of the aforementioned major cities within the next few years.

Investing in Dubai real estate today means the certainty of capital gains in the short, medium and long term. At Vici, it's the figures that talk, the figures that prove, and the figures that enable us to make lucrative real estate investments in the same way as you would with a share on the stock market.

30%. This percentage is enough for you to own 100% of your property. This law, which is unique in the world and present in Dubai, enables investors to carry out real estate trading with the help of our experts. When you invest in an off-plan property, you'll benefit from a payment plan, a schedule of payments, directly with the property developer, free of charge and interest, who will pay you in instalments. Once you've reached 30% of the purchase price, you'll receive your provisional title deed, or "Oqood", and you'll be able to resell your property and benefit from the entire capital gain.

Vici concentrates on past and current financial data for various locations and property developers, enabling precise studies and ultimately high-yield investments.

When you invest in the Emirates, your return is safe. As well as having the capital named the world's safest city in 2021, Dubai leads the way in being the most peaceful for women.

This privilege is not only reserved for the Emirati population, your money will also benefit. Dubai has introduced escrow accounts, which enable you to invest in complete security.

These accounts oblige property developers to deliver their properties on time, and to hand over the keys to your apartment in exact accordance with the specifications drawn up beforehand. In the event of non-compliance, property developers will not be able to release the sums paid by all owners into this famous account managed by the Dubai Land Department, which will then reimburse each investor.
