About this episode

In this episode of Dubai Real Estate Unplugged, Paul Sharland and Steven Leckie reflect on two decades of change in the city, the market and themselves.

From rapid population growth to rising property values, this episode explores Dubai’s evolution from an emerging market to a world-class destination for families, professionals and long term investors.

Along the way, they revisit early flips, laugh about grey hairs and spotlight what’s made Dubai the “safest safe haven in the world.”
