In the global economy shivering 2025, Dubai is staging a capital carnival. When the UK's 9,500 millionaires collectively "flee", when Indian tycoons and Chinese investors have smashed their money into skyscrapers in the desert, this city known as the "Pearl of the Middle East", in the end, what magic is hidden?

But the Brits are just the new players. Indians have been on the Dubai property map for years: one in four homes are in the hands of Indian buyers, who are particularly fond of mid- to high-end homes and short-term rentals, relying on rental returns of 8%-9% to make a fortune.
