Dubai South maintained its position as Dubai’s top-performing property market in May, recording 1,357 sales transactions worth AED1.6 billion. According to fäm Properties, residential sales in the area have surged 36.4% since late February, driven by strong demand for off-plan developments and growing investor confidence.
El Gouna has launched Marina Island by Tuban, a premium waterfront destination featuring a marina, retail, dining, and luxury island living in the heart of the town.
United Real Estate Company secured KWD38 million ($122.8 million) in Islamic financing for Phase 3 of the Souq Sharq waterfront project in Kuwait City. The PPP development will modernize the destination with upgraded retail, a superyacht marina, and enhanced nautical facilities, with completion expected by end-2027.
For years, UAE real estate was defined by record-breaking growth, but 2026 is proving the market’s real strength: resilience. Despite regional uncertainty, Dubai recorded AED 252 billion in Q1 transactions, while resident investors now account for more than half of investment activity by value, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a long-term destination for both capital and living rather than short-term speculation.
