An average villa in Dubai will cost around $1,000 per square metre, same villa in London Docklands would cost $5,000 per square metre,if you compare these two there are only few modern cities in the world where top-quality property is priced so low. Dubai is one of those cities. one can say that Dubai, a city with a 20-year track record of strong economic growth will continue to attract foreign investment in the years to come.

That's a very good point, but you want to ask yourself, how much money would people on this board have to spend if they were working from home lol. Also, the plane ticket to Dubai would cost you quite a bit as well, but yes Dubai is a growing city...And also, Scientsts predict that it'll be under water by 2030 or something...

Is it possible for foreigners/non-citizens of UAE to purchase and own land/property in Dubai or in that case any part of UAE?
All I heard is that one can only hold land in under lease and i heard the lease period is quiet a long one as well.
