Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why is Dubai still booming while global real estate slows? And is Saudi Arabiaâs transformationâfrom home ownership to hospitalityâactually sustainable?
In this episode, we speak once again with Faisal Durrani, Partner & Head of Research at Knight Frank Middle East, to unpack whatâs really driving the Gulfâs property cycle.
We discuss affordability, foreign ownership, migration trends, rental pressures, hospitality demand, and the rise of Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.
