In light of the current political tensions in the GCC and the wider Middle East, Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, shares a message of confidence and resilience:

Under the leadership of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, we have nothing to fear.

History has shown that the hashtag#UAE consistently overcomes challenges and emerges stronger. We witnessed this during the global financial crisis in 2008, during COVID-19, and again following the April 2024 storm, widely known as the ‘Hadeer Storm’. With the guidance of our leadership, this time will be no different. The UAE will continue to move forward with resilience and confidence.

The strength of the UAE’s economic fundamentals, particularly in the real estate sector, continues to be reflected in record market performance. According to Dubai REST, hashtag#Dubai recorded AED 246.12 billion in real estate transactions in Q1 2026, compared to AED 142.7 billion in Q1 2025, representing a 72.46% year-on-year increase.

These figures demonstrate that despite regional tensions, the fundamentals of Dubai’s real estate market remain exceptionally strong. Demand continues to grow, and investor confidence remains robust, reinforcing Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most attractive investment destinations.

We have full confidence in our leadership and their vision, and we are certain that we will emerge stronger.
