If you're looking to buy in Abu Dhabi this is everything you need to know
Thinking of getting your name on a title deed in the capital? You're not alone. People looking to buy in Abu Dhabi are multiplying, and the real estate market is in serious demand this year, with prices climbing thanks to limited supply, major infrastructure projects and a growing number of both local and global investors jumping on board. A new report from UAE-based brokerage Oia Properties has spotlighted the city's most promising neighbourhoods – and there's something for every kind of buyer, whether you're after the glitz of Yas Island or the eco-cred of Masdar City. So, which areas are the best places to buy in Abu Dhabi? Yas Island has long been a playground for thrill-seekers and leisure lovers and now it's adding another feather to its cap: Disney Theme Park Abu Dhabi. That alone would be enough to skyrocket interest, but combine it with the existing Ferrari World, Yas Marina Circuit and limited hotel availability and it's no surprise investors are snapping up properties for short-term rentals and impressive returns. Studios start at Dhs800,000, with prices averaging between Dhs1,500 to 2,100 per square foot and analysts give it a sky-high capital appreciation score of nine out of ten for 2025 and 2026. Just across the water, Al Reem Island is turning heads too. Thanks to Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) expanding its jurisdiction, this urban island is now fully open to investors of all nationalities, making it an appealing option for expats and families. With studio apartments starting at Dhs700,000 and strong rental demand, it boasts a capital appreciation outlook of eight out of ten, helped along by Etihad Rail developments and waterfront living. Over on Hudayriyat Island, luxury meets lifestyle in one of the city's most exciting up-and-coming communities. With eye-catching projects like Surf Abu Dhabi and the region's largest velodrome already in motion, buyers are flocking to Modon's newest neighbourhood. Properties here start at Dhs2 million for a one-bedroom, with values expected to rise significantly over the next year. Al Raha Beach, meanwhile, continues to offer solid value in an already well-established neighbourhood. With its waterfront setting and mature infrastructure, it attracts a steady stream of international buyers. Studio apartments start around Dhs1 million and the resale market remains strong, with a respectable seven out of ten growth forecast. Saadiyat Island still reigns as the capital's most luxurious enclave. Home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and soon welcoming new additions from luxury hospitality brands, it draws high-net-worth individuals from across the world. Studio prices start at Dhs1.3 million, with per-square-foot rates ranging from Dhs1,800 to a jaw-dropping Dhs3,400. Long-term investors looking for cultural cachet and solid growth can expect stable returns and a seven out of ten outlook. And it's not just the well-known districts making waves. Ghantoot is emerging from the shadows with the launch of 'Bayn' by ORA. Nestled between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the beachfront villas and green community design are already generating a buzz. Three-bedroom townhouses here start at Dhs2.7 million. Al Reef is also coming into its own, with its transition from leasehold to freehold making it a smart, accessible choice for first-time buyers. Studio apartments go for Dhs500,000 to 600,000 and its location near the airport, Yas Island and Al Raha adds to the appeal. Credit: Supplied Then there's Masdar City, a magnet for sustainability-minded professionals. As home to the Masdar Freezone and over 1,000 companies, it's an ideal live-work-play hub. Studios start at Dhs1 million and buyers are drawn in by cutting-edge design and flexible payment plans. Al Shamkha is gaining popularity too, especially among UAE nationals. With the handover of Aldar's Fay Al Reeman project set for late 2025, this villa-heavy suburb offers space and affordability, with studios starting at Dhs400,000. Zayed City rounds out the list as a future-forward district already seeing action with the early handover of Cordoba (Bloom Living Phase 1). It's part of Abu Dhabi's Plan 2030 and comes with promising infrastructure and buyer-friendly payment options, with one-bedroom apartments starting at Dhs600,000. In short, if you're looking to buy in Abu Dhabi, now's the time to strike. From glam island homes to emerging suburban gems, 2025's property picks are as diverse as they are rewarding.

Dubai's tenant gets Dhs700,000 in compensation for illegal eviction
The Rental Dispute Settlement Centre in Dubai (RDS) has issued a judicial ruling obliging a landlord to pay material and moral compensation to a tenant in the amount of Dhs700,000, equivalent to three times the rental value, after it was proved that the landlord had misused the law and illegally evicted the tenant. The case dates back to the time when a European national rented a villa from a compatriot, and paid the full rental value for the year 2023-2024, but the owner sold the villa, and filed a lawsuit against the tenant, accusing him of not paying the rent and demanding that he vacate the villa. The new owner also registered an incorrect email address for the tenant when filing the lawsuit, which prevented him from receiving the legal notifications, so he did not attend the court sessions, and an absentee judgment was issued against him, ordering him to vacate the villa and pay the rent. The eviction judgment was indeed executed, and the new owner requested the judge to take coercive measures against the tenant, including arrest and detention, travel ban, and seizure of his accounts. Upon returning from his annual vacation, the tenant found that the villa's locks had been changed, but he was able to enter to find that the villa was completely empty of furniture, forcing him and his family to stay in a hotel. After searching, he discovered that a judicial ruling had been issued against him, and he also discovered that the villa's owner had registered an incorrect email address for him when filing the lawsuit. The tenant appealed the ruling and was able to prove that the eviction was not valid and that the landlord had misled the court. After verifying the tenant's claims, the RDC cancelled the eviction ruling and all the enforcement procedures taken against him. He also filed a lawsuit against the landlord, demanding compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred due to the misuse of the right to litigation and the submission of incorrect data to obtain an eviction judgment illegally. The RDC conducted a detailed investigation into the case and subsequently issued a ruling obliging the landlord to pay the tenant compensation of Dhs700,000, equivalent to three times the annual rental value of the villa, as compensation for the material and moral damages he incurred. The landlord was also obliged to return the tenant to the villa.

Qareeb wins G3 Jebel Ali Mile, Royal Commando conquers Emirates Sprint Series finale
Amir Naqvi, Sports Editor Amidst the thrilling spectacle of Jebel Ali Racecourse's most anticipated meeting of the season, Emirati trainer Musabbeh Al Mheiri's Qareeb emerged triumphant in the G3 Jebel Ali Mile—a highlight of the track's calendar. Sponsored by A.R.M. Holding, the prestigious race offering Dhs700,000 saw the son of Speightstown neck and neck with Michael Costa's Sadaaty over the 1600metres contest, with the two charging down the final stretch. With Silvestre De Sousa at the reins, Qareeb proved his class, fending off strong challenges from favourite Sadaaty and finishing more than one length ahead to reinforce his impressive 105 rating. Majestic Pride, trained by Simon & Ed Crisford, showed great resilience, but that was not enough as he ended in third place. The Listed Jebel Ali Sprint, the third leg of the Emirates Sprint Series sponsored by Lamborghini, lived up to its billing as Royal Commando defied all expectations and delivered a jaw-dropping performance. With Bernardo Pinheiro aboard, he surged forward and crossed the finish line ahead of Ponntos. The battle was fierce as Miroslav Nieslanik-trained Ponntos, under Patrick Cosgrave, tried to claw back, but Salem Bin Ghadayer's Royal Commando had other plans. No Nay Never's son bolted from the gate with power. Ponntos steadily gained ground, closing the gap with every stride. Rasas, the young colt, gave a valiant chase, but the two experienced horses held him at bay. Royal Commando fired a salvo in the final metres and surged ahead to claim the race by almost two lengths. Further back, Rasas, a 4-year-old colt, battled valiantly but finished third. Continuing its tradition of concept-driven racing, Jebel Ali Racecourse once again delivered an unforgettable experience with its ninth meeting, themed 'Fashion Day'—a dazzling fusion of high-speed competition and stylish celebration. Adding to the euphoria was the unveiling of The Hidden Gem, an enchanting new venue at Jebel Ali Racecourse, promising a unique and immersive experience for racegoers. The grand reveal added an extra touch of allure to an already vibrant atmosphere. 'Reflecting on the event's success, Mohamed Al Ahmed, General Manager of Jebel Ali Racecourse and Executive Director of the Emirates Sprint Series, said: "A truly remarkable day here at Jebel Ali Racecourse. The presence of international runners added immense value to our races, elevating the competition to new heights. The energy was electric, with a record-breaking crowd of 16,000 spectators filling the stands, soaking in the excitement and grandeur of the event. "Our goal has always been to offer more than just racing—we strive to create a complete, immersive experience for families and fans alike. With The Hidden Gem, we've introduced an exclusive space where fans enjoy a unique experience. 'Racing at Jebel Ali is not just about the track; it's about a vibrant, all-encompassing experience that captivates every sense." The day was packed with exciting activities, from a fashion contest showcasing elegance and style to a variety of family-friendly attractions, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. 'We are glad Lamborghini joined the roster of sponsors, lending its support to the Listed Jebel Ali Sprint,' he added. The masterful Mheiri orchestrated a stunning treble, with Mersaal delivering a commanding victory in the Emirates Airline Cup and Inner City claiming the Al Shafar Investment Stakes under Daniel Tudhope. Mersaal seized control from the very start, dictating the pace. He crossed the finish line more than three lengths clear of Costa's Yotarid. Inner City, the four-year-old gelding by Dubawi, engaged in a pulsating battle to the wire. With Cabrit, ridden by De Sousa, and the Shuf Dubai, guided by Saif Al Balushi, mounting relentless challenges, the race became a three-way battle. As Cabrit and Shuf Dubai lunged forward, seeking their moment of glory, Inner City dug deeper, summoning every ounce of strength and courage to hold his lead. Bhupat Seemar's Dubay delivered a show-stopping performance in the ESS Stakes, charging to victory six lengths ahead of the Nahash. Costa managed to open the account as Alsayef surged to the front, claiming victory in the Al Awir Maiden Stakes. Ibrahim Al Hadhrami's Albiter won the Wathba Stallions Cup.
