1. Ownership rights for foreigners: foreigners can buy property with 100% ownership in designated “freehold” areas, under legal protection.

• High quality of life: modern infrastructure, safety and a low crime rate, world-class education and healthcare.

• Wide career options: technology, construction, finance, healthcare, tourism, logistics and real estate; employers usually handle the work permit and residence visa.

• Registration: only DLD-registered, licensed developers can sell.
• Project tracking: construction progress can be followed through DLD tools.

Work with reliable developers, read the contract carefully and take professional legal advice.
