Dubai real estate: Property developer sees growing demand from Iran, Turkey, Indian investors
Object 1, part of the international TSZ Group, held more than 100 events across Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, uncovering trends around investor motivations and market shifts as global appetite for Dubai property continues to grow.
The roadshows revealed that decision-making factors among investors included potential for return on investment, flexible payment plans, quality furnishing, and access to modern amenities and smart home technology.
Dubai real estate attracts international buyers
Demand was observed from investors in Iran, Turkey, and India, as well as from Francophone and German-speaking regions. Africa has emerged as a market with engagement levels.
Object 1's data showed that most investors were driven by portfolio diversification, with commitments starting from $300,000 for one- or two-bedroom apartments.
First-time buyers in Dubai typically chose studio units, while high-net-worth individuals showed interest in larger residences within premium developments.
International buyers demonstrated interest in residences with European finishes, with many citing home appliances by European brands as a value-add.
This reflects a shift in the perception of Dubai property, where quality, design, and convenience are becoming as important as location and price.
'Based on the insights we gathered during our roadshows, we are now refining our international strategy for the year ahead. We plan to increase our focus on markets that have shown strong engagement, while continuing to prioritise India, Singapore, and the UK. This approach is supported by the results we have seen so far, including a 220 per cent increase in our sales value and a 140 per cent increase in sales volume in Q1 2025 compared to the same period last year,' Ismail Gasanov, Head of Business Development at Object 1 said.
The findings showed North America has recently entered Object 1's top ten global markets, driven by a shift in outbound capital from the US and Canada toward high-growth international destinations.
Object 1 attributes much of its international success to collaborations with real estate agencies and local market experts.
These partnerships have enabled the company to adapt its outreach to suit regional investor expectations, resulting in higher-quality engagement and event outcomes.
Looking ahead, Object 1 plans to continue its international outreach through a new phase of roadshows, private investor events, and market-specific campaigns.
The company remains focused on its core mission of developing future-ready, high-quality communities that deliver long-term value to both residents and investors while contributing to the next chapter of Dubai's real estate landscape.

UAE: No more OTPs? Here's how banks will fight scams
One-time passwords or OTPs are now outdated in the face of the dramatic rise in sophisticated banking frauds, a Dubai-based cybersecurity expert told Khaleej Times, following news that UAE banks will gradually stop sending one-time passwords (OTPs) via SMS and email for digital transactions starting July 25. Instead of OTPs, banks will shift to authentication via mobile banking apps, using in-app confirmation features. Cybersecurity expert Rayad Kamal Ayub praised UAE banks and regulators for 'adopting groundbreaking authentication technologies to secure transactions, safeguard customer identities, and provide frictionless user experiences". 'The Central Bank of the UAE has taken decisive steps since 2024, spurred by persistent calls from industry leaders and media like Khaleej Times, to overhaul traditional authentication methods — especially OTPs — which have proven vulnerable to modern hacking techniques,' he added. Rayad, who is also managing director of UAE-based Rayad Group, also shared emerging authentication technologies, and how each type encounters fraud risks and redefines customer trust in the UAE banking sector. 1. Passkeys & FIDO2 authentication 'The era of easily compromised passwords is drawing to a close', noted Rayad. Passkeys, built on the FIDO2 (Fast IDentity Online 2) standards, enable password-less authentication by leveraging cryptographic keys stored directly on a user's device. When combined with biometric sensors — like face ID, touch ID, or Android's equivalent — passkeys offer a seamless, one-touch login experience. Key features: - Passwordless, leveraging asymmetric cryptography for security - Biometric integration (facial recognition, fingerprints) for effortless access - Resistant to phishing attacks, SIM swaps, and credential stuffing that are frequently used by scammers Rayad said UAE banks are piloting passkey-based logins to replace or augment OTPs, drastically reducing the risk of interception or duplication. 'Because of this, customers benefit from smoother, faster access to services, while institutions see a drop in account takeover attempts. 2. Decentralised Identity (DID) Traditional identity systems often rely on central databases, making them lucrative targets for cybercriminals. Decentralised Identity (DID) puts control back in the hands of users through cryptographically verifiable credentials stored on personal devices or digital wallets. Key features: - User-controlled digital identity, minimising reliance on central authorities - Secure onboarding and KYC (Know Your Customer) processes without exposing data to a single point of failure - Backed by global initiatives such as the EU Digital Identity Wallet, which influence regulatory direction in the UAE Rayad noted DID not only enhances privacy but also boosts resistance to large-scale data breaches. Several banks and fintech startups abroad are exploring DID frameworks, enabling customers to share only necessary fragments of their identity for transactions or onboarding. 3. Behavioural biometrics This works unlike traditional biometrics that use fingerprint and facial recognition. Behavioural biometrics authenticate users based on how they interact with their devices — such as typing rhythm, swipe patterns, mouse movements, and device handling. This continuous, invisible layer of authentication operates in the background, constantly monitoring unusual behaviour. Key features: - Continuous authentication — no need for repeated logins - Detects subtle deviations from a user's normal behavior, flagging potential fraud instantly - Non-intrusive, preserving the seamless user experience Some banks are integrating behavioural biometrics into their mobile apps and online banking portals. Technology can detect when an account is being accessed by someone other than the legitimate user, even if the correct credentials are provided, offering an early warning against fraud, explained Rayad. 4. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) Rapid advances in quantum computing threaten to render existing cryptographic algorithms obsolete. PQC proactively arms banks against this looming risk by employing new algorithms designed to withstand quantum attacks. Key features: - Uses quantum-resistant algorithms for data protection and authentication - Recommended by leading authorities such as NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) - Ensures future proofing of banking systems as quantum capabilities mature Forward-thinking UAE banks are beginning to test PQC solutions, especially for securing high-value transactions, internal communications, and sensitive customer data. Early adoption ensures readiness for the quantum era and demonstrates industry leadership in digital security. 5. Hardware authenticators There are physical security keys, such as YubiKeys, that provide an extra layer of defence by requiring users to possess a tangible device for authentication. Unlike SMS codes or app-based OTPs, hardware authenticators are immune to malware, phishing, and remote access threats. Key features: - Possession-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) - No reliance on mobile networks or internet connectivity for validation - Highly secure against malware-infected devices, phishing, and unauthorised remote access Rayad said wealthy individuals and corporate clients are adopting hardware authenticators to safeguard access to sensitive accounts. Some banks now offer security key support for executive and VIP accounts, acknowledging the growing sophistication of targeted attacks. 6. AI-powered deepfake detection As facial and voice authentication gain popularity, so do threats from deepfakes—artificially generated images, videos, or audio designed to impersonate legitimate users. AI-driven deepfake detection tools analyse nuanced characteristics, such as liveness, temperature, and micro-expressions, to distinguish between real and forged identities. Key features: - Liveness detection using AI to confirm presence of a real human - Infrared scanning and micro-expression analysis for enhanced accuracy - Protection against spoofing attacks targeting facial and voice biometrics banks are already implementing liveness tests and deepfake detection on their mobile apps and at ATMs. These measures ensure that innovative authentication methods remain robust against emerging threats and reassure customers about the safety of biometric logins. 7. Cloud-based identity platforms Managing authentication infrastructure in-house is costly and complex. Cloud-based identity platforms—often delivered as Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS)—allow banks to deploy advanced authentication solutions that scale with demand while staying compliant with evolving regulations. Key features: - Centralised identity management for all digital channels - Scalable and cost-effective compared to traditional on-premises solutions Rayad observed some UAE banks are migrating to cloud identity platforms to streamline onboarding, authentication, and authorisation across mobile, web, and branch channels. This not only enhances security but also delivers a unified, frictionless customer experience. More secure digital banking future Rayad reiterated as fraudsters evolve, so must the technology that protects the financial ecosystem. By moving beyond vulnerable legacy systems like OTPs and embracing tools such as passkeys, decentralised identities, behavioural biometrics, post-quantum cryptography, hardware authenticators, AI-powered deepfake detection, and cloud-based identity platforms, UAE banks are building resilient defenses against fraud while unlocking seamless, user-friendly digital experiences. 'The UAE's commitment to innovation not only safeguards customers but also strengthens the country's reputation as a global leader in digital finance. The rapid pace of adoption today points toward a future where security, convenience, and privacy coexist — delivering banking experiences that are as secure as they are effortless,' he concluded.

Can Somaliland's Berbera Port anchor African trade security?
While Houthi attacks in the Red Sea pose a clear and present danger to the vital trade artery and the rising port congestion in the region throws another spanner in the works, Africa needs another trade hub. Could Somaliland's port city of Berbera be the answer? Analysts and officials see it as a feasible alternative to current trading hubs in Africa such as Djibouti, and say the port city is a buffer against regional and global supply chain disruptions. Recent investments from the UK and the UAE's DP World are reflective of that view. With mounting security concerns and congestion forcing longer docking waiting time in other regional ports, the flow of investments to Berbera is rising. DP World, one of the top global port operators in the world, alone has invested more than $400 million in Berbera's expansion since 2017. The port is located near the Bab Al Mandeb strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is a choke point for global shipping. Nearly 10 per cent of global trade, including a significant share of oil and container traffic between Europe and Asia, passes through this corridor. The significance of this part of the region cannot be understated, as it accounts for up to 12 per cent of global oil transported by sea, according to data from the International Chamber of Shipping. However, Berbera currently accounts for only about 0.06 per cent of global container traffic, so it has handling capacity to offer more to shipping lines, the engine of global trade. Ethiopia's new trade lifeline With the rise in investments, Berbera has started to relieve some pressure in the strait. It has also given landlocked Ethiopia a second maritime gateway, reducing its dependence on Djibouti and providing the country with an alternative trade route to skirt disruptions in the Red Sea. Last year, Somaliland signed an agreement to lease a 20km stretch of coastline to its neighbour, a move that caused a diplomatic row and prompted Somalia to summon the Ethiopian ambassador in protest. Mogadishu does not recognise the breakaway Somaliland, which seceded amid a civil war in 1991. 'The vision of the Somaliland government and DP World is to make Berbera a regional marine trade and industrial hub,' Supachai Wattanaveerachai, chief executive for DP World's Horn of Africa operations, told a Somaliland-UAE investment conference in June. 'We know Ethiopians need multiple gateways to connect to world trade and for us, with Somaliland, we need to provide services.' Ethiopia currently relies on Djibouti for about 90 per cent of its maritime trade, paying more than $1.5 billion a year in port and transit fees alone. Berbera could slash this cost by up to 30 per cent, according to analysts. Dean Mikkelsen, an independent maritime and logistics analyst, said Berbera is 'increasingly seen as a viable option to Djibouti, particularly amid the instability' in the Red Sea. 'Its position near Bab Al Mandeb enables direct access to one of the world's busiest shipping corridors, while remaining just out of the immediate range of Houthi attacks,' he told The National. With its structural challenges, expensive pricing and geopolitical concentration Berbera is a better option than Djibouti in terms of trade resilience, 'even with Somaliland's uncertain political status', Mr Mikkelsen said. 'Djibouti's geopolitical congestion is a result of the fact that many foreign countries operate military bases from the US, China, France, Japan, Italy and Saudi Arabia and that it is located near conflict-scarred areas such as Yemen – a complex geopolitical environment that can impede the safe flow of goods and add operational risk. Djibouti, he said, still matters, but it certainly suffers from crowding. The country's overdependence on Chinese debt to fuel growth also makes it vulnerable to sudden shifts in economic fortunes, he explained. 'Berbera's growth under DP World has brought new deepwater berths and better container capacity, offering shippers a credible alternative that reduces exposure to geopolitical risks. Ironically, it is Djibouti's own limits that are pushing the change along.' Rise in western backing and security concerns Somaliland is also deepening its strategic defence co-operation with the US, which bodes well for its prospects of growth. 'This includes collaborations with US Africa Command to enhance security in the vital shipping lanes of the Gulf of Aden,' Mr Mikkelsen said. 'Somaliland has publicly offered to host an American military base, reinforcing its position as a stable and co-operative partner in the region.' Quoting data from British International Investment Projects, he said by 2035, the Port of Berbera will enable trade equivalent to about 27 per cent of Somaliland's gross domestic product and 8 per cent of Ethiopia's GDP. The development of Berbera port is becoming 'increasingly important' in the regional trade perspective, Saeed Al Zari, group vice president for government affairs at DP World, told The National. DP World is already working on bringing new infrastructure to Somaliland, including edible oil tanks in Berbera, a move that has led to the opening of the International Finance and Food Company's edible oil plant and the soon-to-be-launched Essa Al Ghurair plant, he said. The future plans aim to improve 'the quality of edible oil available in the region, reducing the price of this essential commodity and now supplying both Ethiopia and Puntland', he said. A rise with limits However, Berbera's emergence is not without limits. Somaliland's lack of international recognition presents legal ambiguity and curbs access to funding. But investors appear to be warming to the region. 'A big investment has already been made in Somaliland,' said Abdirahman Hassan Nur, Somaliland's Minister of Trade and Tourism. 'DP World is an example. I believe many other investors are already in the pipeline.' Mr Wattanaveerachai said that when DP World took over the port, it could handle less than 100,000, but the capacity has risen to 500,000. 'Today, we have transformed the Berbera port, not just in capacity but in efficiency. All run by locals – Somaliland people,' he said. The vision of Somaliland is to develop Berbera as a hub of economic development where companies can open offices without being physically located in Berbera, he added. The UAE-Somaliland investment conference in June brought together regional stakeholders including Dubai Chambers and Al Marzooqi Group of Companies. The aim was to attract more investment and highlight Berbera's potential. 'Despite the lack of international recognition, Somaliland has demonstrated the ability to manage critical infrastructure and ensure a level of operational stability. The Somaliland Port Authority, as the governing authority of Somaliland ports, manages the interaction with the security forces responsible for security in Berbera,' Mr Al Zari said. 'Berbera is revolutionising the logistics network in the Horn of Africa and reducing the cost of importation for some of the poorest people in the world.' Analysts urge caution Carl Sykes, group managing director of Neptune P2P Group, however, cautioned against hopes of Berbera attaining total regional dominance. 'Berbera port is emerging as a viable alternative to Djibouti, but it remains modest in scale at under 500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit annually, compared to Djibouti's multimillion-TEU capacity,' he told The National. 'While Berbera has made impressive gains in efficiency and cargo growth, it lacks the regional security guarantees enjoyed by Djibouti, which is protected by multiple international military bases.' He said Berbera had the potential to serve as a modest buffer in regional supply chains but said its affect on global supply chain shocks was 'likely to remain limited given its relatively small scale, emerging infrastructure and geopolitical sensitivities'. Mr Mikkelsen, however, argued that the second phase of Berbera Port's expansion will begin once 75 per cent of current capacity is utilised, with plans to boost throughput to 2 million TEUs annually, following DP World's completion of the first phase that increased capacity to 500,000 TEUs. 'Djibouti's restraints are forcing the push for alternatives. Berbera's location and continual improvements are meeting this need,' he said. 'At a time when supply chain resilience is a global imperative, Berbera is well-placed to be a powerful trade facilitator between Africa and the Middle East.' In addition, international recognition of the region or a stable deal with Somalia would allow Berbera to realise its full potential as a central hub for regional trade, he said.
