Dubai continues to consolidate its position as a leading global destination in real estate investment, with Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa leading the locations achieving capital gains during 2024, and with the marked rise in the prices of luxury apartments and villas, these locations have become a symbol of luxury and smart investment.
Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa are one of the greatest engineering achievements in the world. Dubai’s stakes on the success of these two regions, and their investment, tourism and economic brilliance, are certain. Today, the two sites continue to thrive, due to the strong demand from local and international investors for all categories of real estate in both regions.

For the Burj Khalifa area, it still holds the highest average price per square foot, for apartments in Dubai at AED 3,508 per square foot, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year, and 1.4% on a monthly basis, while the average price of a standard apartment in the region rose to AED 3.2 million.
