H.E. Ahmed Al Ketbi tours UAE developers showcasing Ras Al Khaimah, Dubai, and more at Global Property Expo
Singapore – Mr Ahmed Al Ketbi, Deputy Ambassador and Head of Economic Affairs at the UAE Embassy in Singapore, attended a guided tour of the UAE Pavilion at the Global Property Expo, where leading developers showcased new opportunities across the Emirates. He then delivered special remarks at the Opening Ceremony of the Expo on 18 July 2025, reinforcing the UAE's growing prominence as a global real estate investment destination. The UAE outperforms global markets in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in the real estate sector. In 2023, the UAE ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and 16th globally for FDI inflows, with a record USD 23 billion in foreign investments, according to the UNCTAD World Investment Report 2024. Dubai alone attracted AED 39.1 billion (USD 10.6 billion) in FDI during the first half of 2023, across over 600 projects, making it the top city in the world for greenfield FDI for the second consecutive year (Dubai FDI Monitor, 2024). Speakers at a key conference session, 'The Modern Oasis – Residential Investment in the Middle East', featuring Khaled Assaf (Marjan) and Dr Andrew B. Jones (Richmind), moderated by Louissa Thomas (Levella Global) reiterated that the region's integrated developments, forward-thinking urban planning, and investment incentives, are attracting international attention. The speakers mentioned that the UAE's strong performance is bolstered by tax-free income, 100% foreign ownership in designated zones, long-term residence visas tied to property investment, and government-backed urban development initiatives. In comparison to mature Western markets, the UAE offers higher yields, faster capital appreciation, and a favourable regulatory environment — solidifying its position as a global investment leader. UAE Pavilion Highlights: DAMAC Properties Established in 2002, DAMAC is one of the Middle East's leading luxury real estate developers with projects across the GCC, Middle East, Canada, Maldives, and the UK. Offerings at the Expo included multi-million square-foot residential communities, branded residences (e.g. Roberto Cavalli), and investment properties eligible for the UAE Golden Visa – such as SGD 400,000 one-bedroom apartments in Dubai with zero tax and freehold titles. Emaar Properties One of the world's most valuable real estate developers, Emaar presented landmark residential, retail and hospitality developments. With a net asset value of over USD 48 billion, the company is renowned for its design excellence, build quality, and lifestyle integration.

With its 360° infinity pool, curated retail and wellness experiences, and limited inventory, OYSTRA offers exceptional lifestyle and investment potential.

Vakson Group With more than 55 years of expertise in Dubai real estate, Vakson offers development, brokerage, leasing, facilities management and advisory services.
