Why Abu Dhabi?
City of opportunities
Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates and is the second most popular city in the UAE after Dubai, with its many opportunities for investment and living, from work and business set ups to real estate. The city's swift development, urbanisation, abundant oil and gas reserves and higher than average income have turned it into a thriving metropolis that attracts both investors and expats from all over the world. As the political, industrial, cultural, and commercial hub of the UAE, Abu Dhabi contributes significantly to the UAE's economy, representing about two-thirds of the approximate $503 billion GDP.

In the first half of 2023, FDI in the individual category reached AED 834.6M (USD 227M), marking an exceptional growth rate of 363% compared to the same period last year.

Explore great opportunities of the future
Abu Dhabi's real estate sales sector for international customers is on the threshold of a promising evolution. The DLD tax in Abu Dhabi is only 2% (in Dubai it is 4%), and with a lower price per square metre compared to Dubai, Abu Dhabi stands as an economically attractive option. The city is dynamically expanding, characterised by ongoing construction projects, and has four freehold zones, providing a spectrum of opportunities for a high quality of life and investments for foreigners.
