Hassan Jivraj
About this episode

Dubai's real estate has surged in the past decade, driven by its strategic location and luxury demand. Abu Dhabi is advancing, and even smaller emirates like Ras Al Khaimah are attracting attention with new projects.

Saudi Arabia is the major focus, with Vision 2030 transforming the real estate landscape through NEOM’s futuristic cities and ambitious homeownership goals.

In our 32nd episode, we spoke to Faisal Durrani, Partner, Head of Research at Knight Frank MENA, who brings over 15 years of global real estate expertise. 

In this episode, we touched on several topics including:

  • Dubai, Abu Dhabi and RAK's real estate market
  • Saudi Arabia's real estate sector
  • ESG factors in the industry
  • The outlook for global real estate
