Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Dubai has designated freehold zones where expatriates and foreign nationals can purchase property with full ownership rights. Areas like Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, and many others are freehold. No residency is required to purchase.

What is off-plan property and is it safe to buy?

Off-plan refers to buying a property before or during construction. It's generally safe in Dubai thanks to RERA regulations — developers must hold buyer funds in escrow and cannot access them until construction milestones are met. Buying off-plan typically offers lower entry prices and flexible payment plans.
