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 point
Your 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 portfolio
Think 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 moveDUBAI, IN MOTION

ALICE AL RAHEB · DUBAI REAL ESTATE02 / MEET ALICE
Ten years in Dubai real estate. A personal approach to every investment.
As a Senior Associate Director in Dubai real estate, I help investors make considered moves, from choosing an off-plan property to shaping a portfolio and planning a resale.
Every conversation begins with what matters to you: your goals, your capital and your timing. From there, we look closely at the opportunity, the commitments and what comes next.
My background in hospitality shaped a service-led approach, with close attention to detail and long-term relationships. I work with clients in English and Arabic.
More about my experiencePersonal consultations in English and Arabic.
A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE. THREE YEARS AT #1.
Ranked #1 at Provident in 2023, 2024 and 2025, with recognition from Dubai property developers.
03 / DUBAI, THROUGH THE YEARS
Places evolve. Prices move. Understanding where a community has been brings a different perspective to what comes next.

Conversions are indicative, using reference rates dated 2 October 2026: EUR 1 = USD 1.1225 and GBP 0.85033; USD 1 = AED 3.6725. They exclude bank fees and exchange spreads. Historical prices use the same reference rates for display, not historical exchange rates. The global comparison retains its original US$1 million benchmark.
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 guidance ↗The UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals. Your home-country obligations and how you hold the property still matter.
UAE tax overview ↗Qualifying property investors may apply for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa through Dubai Land Department. Eligibility and approval apply.
DLD investor visa guidance ↗DUBAI & FIVE GLOBAL PROPERTY MARKETS
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 |
| Los Angeles UNITED STATES | +1.0% | 36 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 US$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 / DUBAI EXPERTISE. INTERNATIONAL REACH.
Alice’s international business and property roadshows have brought Dubai real estate to investors around the world, with a particular focus on the United States.
From Miami to California, including Los Angeles, she connects overseas buyers with Dubai’s off-plan opportunities and the practical decisions behind a purchase.
Arrange a US investor conversationA FOCUS ON THE UNITED STATES
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.
