Properties in United Arab Emirates — Real Estate for Sale & Rent

Discover real estate in United Arab Emirates. Apartments, houses, villas — for sale and rent on JanusHermes.

Foreign nationals can buy freehold property in the UAE’s designated zones, which cover most areas international buyers actually target in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. There is no annual property tax; in Dubai the main one-off cost is the 4 percent DLD transfer fee.

Off-plan sales are a large share of the market, paid in instalments and registered through the official escrow framework. Ownership above set value thresholds can also qualify investors for long-term residence visas.
