Looking to buy property in the UAE? Start with a virtual tour
House hunting doesn't have to mean 12 viewings and a week off work. If you're planning to buy property in the UAE, things just got easier. Thanks to Proptech (that's property technology), the UAE's real estate scene is getting smarter, and virtual tours are leading the charge. Once just simple video walkthroughs, virtual viewings have now evolved into fully immersive 3D and VR experiences. Developers like Emaar, DAMAC, and Dubai Properties offer digital walk-throughs where you can toggle finishes or check how the sunset hits the living room, all before the first site visit. Whether you're overseas or buying off-plan, it's a serious time-saver. But it doesn't stop there. New tools like instant valuation platforms (YallaValue, DLD's Smart Evaluation, and Property Finder's estimators) let buyers and sellers access real-time market data, once only available to brokers. You can now see if a listing is fairly priced and even get a government-backed valuation in seconds. How virtual viewings actually work So, who's putting on the VR goggles? In most cases, it's the agents. Property developers and real estate brokers use VR headsets in their offices or during presentations to offer immersive 3D walk-throughs of off-plan properties. Buyers can also access interactive versions at home via desktop or mobile. You can tour rooms, test finishes, and even explore balcony views with just a few taps, making it easier to visualise the space long before stepping inside. It's not just a cool feature, for overseas buyers or anyone tight on time, it's become a crucial part of the decision-making process. Mortgages? Apps like Holo connect with over 20 banks to shortlist real-time offers based on your profile — instantly. That's the paperwork bit made simpler. Contracts? The Dubai REST app now supports blockchain-based transactions. Title deeds are updated in minutes, payments are secure, and the process is traceable, fast, and fraud-resistant. No stamp runs, no stacks of paper. Fractional ownership is also on the rise, allowing buyers to own shares of property via blockchain tokens, opening the market to more people. From virtual tours to real-time valuations, the UAE is building a future-ready housing market. And yes, it's all available from your phone. > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Damac unveils new phase at Dubai master community development
Leading UAE developer Damac Properties has announced the launch of Capri One, a new phase at the Riverside Views project being developed as part of its master community Damac Riverside in Dubai. Located in Dubai Investments Park near Expo City Dubai, Damac Riverside Views is quietly central, providing easy access to key roads and major highways. The new phase, Capri One at Damac Riverside Views, will include stylish one and two-bedroom apartments, said Damac in a statement. The residences positioned on either side of the river will blend urban energy with stunning waterfront views and bring an extraordinary lifestyle for residents, it stated. Speaking at the official launch, Amira Sajwani, Managing Director, Damac Properties, said: "As Dubai continues to evolve, so do we, shaping its skyline with homes that are not just iconic but intuitively designed for how people truly want to live. The community is in Dubai's next-generation residential hub." "It is in perfect proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport, making it close enough for convenient travel, yet secluded enough to preserve a peaceful riverside lifestyle. Our new phase invites residents to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the outdoors, with curated green spaces, thoughtful water features, and a soft rhythm of community life,." she stated. According to her, the Riverside Views will boast world-class amenities including a clubhouse, a floating island restaurant, a Zen Spa, a Portofino Restaurant, and a hydroponic farm providing fresh greens daily. "With a focus on health and wellness, fitness facilities by the water and a floating chess stage will be accessible to residents, as well as a floating opera, essential oil lakes, and Peace Rooms designed to encourage mindfulness and creativity," she stated. Damac said this phase is a perfect opportunity for first-time home buyers, young couples and investors alike. The one-bedroom units have been priced at AED993,000 onwards, while the two-bedroom unit starts from AED1.9 million onwards. The new phase and launch from Damac comes after the resounding success of townhouses and apartments launched at Damac Riverside earlier, which were sold out, stated Sajwani. As an introductory offer, Damac has unveiled attractive payment plans of 0.25% for the project. "Under this, customers only need to pay an easy monthly payment of AED2,499 ($680.3 million) and they get to experience luxurious apartments and a community with fantastic amenities," she added.
