YOUR PURCHASE, CONSIDERED
Request the brochure, unit floor plan and area schedule, developer quotation, dated payment milestones, booking terms and draft sale agreement. Ask for project registration, escrow information, anticipated completion and assignment conditions before committing.
Review ownership and title, property condition, service charges, seller obligations, any mortgage or tenancy and the proposed transfer process. An off-plan resale also needs a statement of payments and the remaining developer schedule.
Share your budget, preferred city, timing and intended use. Alice will explain the identification and buyer due-diligence documents requested for your purchase route.
Research checked 3 October 2026. This is a curated collection, not an exhaustive register or live availability feed. AED 25M–500M describes the search brief; individual prices, fees, status and documents require confirmation. Published schedules are subject to the selected residence’s signed terms.
FOR EXCEPTIONAL HOMES
For budgets from AED 40,000,000, discuss penthouses, sky mansions and beachfront villas with Alice. Start with location, space, privacy and your preferred purchase timeline.
01 / HOW WE INVEST
A carefully considered purchase starts with the right questions. We look at the developer, location, individual unit, price and payment commitments together.
Find your starting pointYour next property should have a clear role. We consider your existing holdings, payment schedules and objectives to bring more structure to the next decision.
Discuss your portfolioThink about the next buyer before your next move. We assess positioning, competing properties, selling costs and timing, including the option to hold longer.
Plan your next move
ALICE AL RAHEB · PRIVATE PROPERTY ADVISORY02 / MEET ALICE
Ten years in Dubai real estate. An investor’s perspective. A relationship that goes beyond the purchase.
My career began with Dubai’s leading developers and grew through Metropolitan and other leading brokerages. That experience gives me a view of both sides of the market: how a project is brought to life, and how it fits into your investment plan.
I invest, too. Building my own property portfolio with a focus on passive income has shaped the questions I ask for my clients: What are the ongoing costs? Who will rent it? When does the next payment fall due? And what could a future resale involve?
I work with portfolio clients beyond a single transaction, helping them select off-plan opportunities, plan payment commitments, review their holdings and consider the next move. Penthouses, beachfront homes and exceptional villas are where that personal attention meets Dubai’s most distinctive addresses.
Through international roadshows across the United States and Europe, I bring Dubai’s market to investors in person. Wherever you are based, you have one point of contact, local knowledge and a conversation centred on your goals.

Historical prices use the same reference rates for display, not historical exchange rates. The global comparison retains its original US$1 million benchmark.
European Central Bank rates · UAE Central Bank rates
Area-wide apartment benchmarks, not the return on an individual property. Photo dates and price periods differ.
The 2021 figures are annual advertised apartment price averages from Bayut & dubizzle’s 2021 sales report, rounded to the nearest dirham. The September 2026 figures and 12-month changes are from Bayut’s apartment price indicators for Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, checked on 3 October 2026.
These are different market snapshots, with potentially different methods and property mixes. They are not a like-for-like appreciation calculation or a valuation, and do not establish the achieved sale price of a specific property. The 12-month changes come from the current indicator series only. Past price movements do not predict future results.

Alice has been part of Dubai’s real estate market for more than a decade, through its changing phases. That experience informs the conversations she has today: where to enter, what to hold and how to plan the next move.
Put the market in perspective04 / WHY PURCHASE IN DUBAI?
For an international buyer, the decision goes beyond the skyline. Ownership, purchasing power and the wider plan all deserve a closer look.
Foreign buyers can own freehold property in Dubai’s designated areas, including buyers who do not live in the UAE.
UAE ownership guidanceThe UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals. Your home-country obligations and how you hold the property still matter.
UAE tax overviewQualifying property investors may apply for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa through Dubai Land Department. Eligibility and approval apply.

A comparison with Singapore, Los Angeles, New York, Miami and London — selected international markets, not a ranking of the world’s top five cities.
Annual change in prime residential prices · 2025
| City | Price change Full year 2025 | US$1m buys Approx. sq m · Q4 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai UAE | +25.1% | 62 sq m |
| Singapore SINGAPORE | +7.9% | 28 sq m |

| New York UNITED STATES | +0.8% | 34 sq m |
| Miami UNITED STATES | −0.5% | 58 sq m |
| London UNITED KINGDOM | −4.7% | 33 sq m |
In this six-city comparison, Dubai combined the strongest prime price growth in 2025 with the most space for a USD 1 million property budget.
Prime means the luxury segment, generally the top 5% of each market by value. These are historical market indicators, not whole-city averages, net returns or forecasts. Individual properties, currency movements, taxes and costs can produce different outcomes.

05 / INTERNATIONAL ROADSHOWS
My international roadshows create space for a proper conversation: your investment goals, your questions about Dubai and the properties that deserve a closer look.
From Miami and Los Angeles to Europe, I meet investors face to face and work with portfolio clients beyond the event, from the first shortlist through ownership and future resale decisions.
Arrange an investor conversationUNITED STATES & EUROPE
International conversations.
Personal guidance. Dubai at the centre.
06 / THE APPROACH
A personal conversation. A focused selection. A decision with the bigger picture in view.
Let’s discuss your plansYour objective, available capital, timeframe and comfort with the commitment set the brief.
We compare the specific property and its alternatives, with attention to price, quality and potential demand.
Payment milestones, transaction costs and the holding period belong in the decision from the beginning.
We consider resale options and an alternative holding plan, then revisit the strategy as your priorities evolve.
07 / BEFORE YOU BUY
Good property conversations go further than the launch brochure.
A development can have many different investment stories. The layout, outlook, position and competing supply help explain whether a particular unit fits your objective.
Start with a complete payment timeline. Consider scheduled instalments, transaction costs and the capital you may need if you hold the property longer than originally planned.
Consider the future buyer, their alternatives and the total cost of a resale. Any exit plan also needs to account for the applicable resale conditions and the possibility of a longer holding period.
