The UAE is world famous for its opulence and magnificent hotels not to mention its explosive property market following the relaxation in property ownership laws in the region. Although now it is possible for foreigners to own freehold land and property for sale in the region there are still some minor restrictions in some of the smaller emirates.

Perhaps the biggest location that has witnessed phenomenal real estate growth is property for sale in Dubai. However, property for sale in Abu Dhabi and Ras al Khaimah are starting to gain interest from investors. The major property boom in Dubai occurred in May 2002, when Dubai's crown prince General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoom issued a decree to allow foreigners to buy and own freehold property for sale in selected areas of the city, know referred to as New Dubai. The same month also witnessed the announcement of Nakheel's manmade island, The Palm Jumeirah, which followed a year later by the second man-made palm-shaped island, The Palm Jebel Ali. All previously developed leasehold property was automatically transferred to freehold.
