Dubai real estate offers multiple property types with waterfront and urban views being the most sought-after, but which of the two makes stronger investment.
It is noted by the experts that waterfront properties have remained in high demand compared to City View Properties. HNWIs and all other buyers have showed more interest towards waterfront properties due to their unique appeal. Lifestyle, scenic views and new launches along the coast and marinas have remained popular such as Rashid Marina and Yachts, Maritime City, Emaar beachfront, experiencing appreciation in value of property.
