Why Abu Dhabi is becoming more attractive for millionaire investors
Millionaire investors are looking towards Abu Dhabi for long-term investments, according to government data that shows the capital is home to the highest number of luxury property on sale in the UAE. Analysis by real estate developers Bloom Holding found the highest property price growth between 2020 and 2025 was in Abu Dhabi, with the capital having 352 homes for sale valued above $1 million, compared with 343 in Dubai. Abu Dhabi recorded year-on-year growth of 202 per cent in the last five years, with 8,490 properties on sale increasing in value. The capital has 352 homes for sale valued above $1 million, compared with 343 in Dubai. Low taxes and substantial sovereign wealth, along with high living standards, were cited as significant factors in attracting ultra-high-net-worth individuals to choose Abu Dhabi for long-term property investments. Out of the top ten areas in the Emirates reporting the most significant five-year price growth, seven are in Abu Dhabi. While Naseem Villas in Sharjah recorded the highest national property price growth with a staggering increase of 243.27 per cent, Abu Dhabi has two areas in the top three. The first is Remah in Al Ain, which is ranked second with a 241.62 per cent increase, while Zone 12 in Mohamed Bin Zayed City follows in third with 237.90 per cent. A bright future Asad Khan, chief executive of Invest Dubai Real Estate, said Abu Dhabi is becoming a more attractive option for investors. 'With all the government bodies based there, as well as sectors like technology, healthcare, finance and renewable energy all setting up, the bigger players are coming into Abu Dhabi,' he said. 'There's a lot of investment coming into the area, not only from the government but also from the private sector. 'I feel that the future is very, very strong in terms that the entry price is a lot lower in Abu Dhabi – even within the luxury market.' According to the Bloom Holding report that analyses data from online property portals and the Dubai Land Department, Umm Al Quwain has the most expensive average property price in the country at $619 per square metre, followed closely by Dubai at $450 per square metre. 'Abu Dhabi is getting more people coming into that space only because, the entry price is a lot lower,' said Mr Khan. 'You're getting a lot more for your money, both on the commercial side and also on the residential side.' The most expensive place to live, however, is in Abu Dhabi – with Zone 8 of Mohamed Bin Zayed City taking top spot. The capital also has two areas in the top three for property growth. The first is Remah in Al Ain, which is ranked second with a 241.62 per cent increase, followed by Zone 12 in Mohamed Bin Zayed City, which follows in third with a rise of 237.90 per cent. Properties in Al Muroor, Abu Dhabi, have the most million-dollar listings in the UAE, followed by homes in Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street. Mushrif Villas and Seashore Villas in Rabdan are the other areas in the emirate with the most luxury properties up for sale. One UAE resident looking to invest in Abu Dhabi is Kevin Goodall, who lives in Dubai with his wife and four sons. Mr Goodall sold his IT business last February and moved to Dubai to rent a family villa in Arabian Ranches in August. He has already purchased off-plan in a luxury development in Dubai, but is now looking towards Abu Dhabi for opportunities. 'I will probably be looking to invest around Yas Island or anywhere near where Disneyland is being proposed,' he said. 'Investing in Abu Dhabi is more of a diversification tactic. Obviously it is very different to Dubai, and they've both got very different appeal. 'There are a lot of attractions there like the F1, theme parks and Disney which is definitely appealing. Investing there is more a strategic tactic.' Population growth In a decade, Abu Dhabi's population has grown 51 per cent, rising from 2.7 million in 2014 to over 4.1 million in 2024. In the first three months of 2025, total real estate transactions in Abu Dhabi grew by 34.5 per cent compared with the same period in 2024, climbing from Dh18.82 billion to Dh25.3 billion. Figures from the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre showed the number of property deals made in that quarter increased from 5,773 to 6,896. Mortgage transactions also recorded strong growth in Abu Dhabi, reaching Dh9.8 billion through 3,077 transactions – a 49 per cent year-on-year increase. 'Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 is a comprehensive long-term plan that aims to transform the emirate into a diversified, sustainable, and globally integrated economy,' said Arun Bose, director of the International Real Estate & Investment Show that takes place in Abu Dhabi in September. 'At the heart of this vision is real estate development, which plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of urban living, economic growth, and social infrastructure. 'The strategy focuses on creating vibrant, liveable communities supported by smart infrastructure, green spaces, and world-class amenities. 'With investments pouring into mixed-use developments, waterfront districts, cultural hubs, and high-tech business zones, Abu Dhabi is positioning itself as a real estate powerhouse in the region.'

Private sector in Kuwait shows upturn
KUWAIT CITY - Official statistics from the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) revealed that the number of private companies reached 175,673 in the first half of 2025 -- 57,408 of which operate as sole proprietorships and 82,948 operate as headquarters. The newspaper obtained a copy of the statistics, stating that the number of company branches reached 35,360 while the number of service providers in the private sector totaled 371. The statistics also confirmed that 25,840 companies are under investigation, 6,613 have expired licenses; one company was closed and three are unlicensed. The total number of companies -- including those operating, under study, closed, and unlicensed -- reached 208,220. A source from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) confirmed that the increase in the number of private companies in recent years is the fruit of governmental efforts to support the private sector. The source stressed that the ministry is intensifying efforts, in coordination with other ministries, to diversify sources of income by allowing the private sector to contribute to the realization of development objectives. The source indicated that the ministry provides numerous services to the private sector; such as supporting the salaries of national workers, removing companies that demonstrate good faith from the blacklist, and continuing to amend laws to better serve the private companies, encourage investment and attract foreign capital. The source added that one of the most important policies of the ministry at present is opening doors for the private sector to be a partner in economic development, in line with Kuwait Vision 2035 and as per the directive of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Al-Sabah to push the private sector forward.
