How Freelancers are Fuelling the UAE's Future Economy
The UAE is now home to more than 100,000 licensed freelancers, spanning industries as diverse as technology, media, education, healthcare and sustainability. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Once seen as a stopgap or side hustle, freelancing is now a cornerstone of economic resilience. Globally, the gig economy has been valued at approximately US$455 billion (AED 1.67 trillion) in 2023, more than double its value in 2018 – a clear signal that the way we work is undergoing a lasting transformation – and a 2024 Investopia report highlighted the Middle East and North Africa region as having one of the fastest growing freelance economies. The UAE, with its forward-looking policies and infrastructure, is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift. The UAE is now home to more than 100,000 licensed freelancers, spanning industries as diverse as technology, media, education, healthcare and sustainability. Government reforms – from flexible visa categories to simplified licensing pathways – have created an enabling environment that empowers people to turn their skills into businesses. This growing ecosystem is also helping to advance generational opportunity, with two thirds of freelancers, globally, aged under 35. Offering flexibility, independence and the potential for lucrative returns, and with digital transformation initiatives making it easier to work remotely, it's understandable why the sector is gaining appeal. And what's good for freelancers, is also good for the UAE economy as it seeks to diversity and become nimbler in adapting to a dynamic economic environment. Freelancers, with their diverse and often niche skills, are crucial in filling gaps that traditional employment models may not always address, particularly in industries seen as essential to the UAE's economic development plans, such as technology, AI and the creative sectors. And for smaller businesses, hiring freelancers is an efficient, cost-effective way to access specialised expertise on a project-by-project basis, enabling them to scale their workforce as required and remain competitive and responsive to changing business needs. At Expo City Dubai, we recognise that the future of work is agile, borderless and deeply connected to purpose. Our free zone services – with flexible options ranging from a one-year standalone permit to comprehensive two-year packages including additional visa options – are designed with this in mind, offering freelancers a streamlined, supportive environment in which to thrive. And it's not just the business infrastructure that makes a difference. Expo City-based freelancers will establish themselves at the heart of Dubai's future growth, a growing business community that connects Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum International Airport. Easily accessible via major highways and with its own dedicated metro station, the city is surrounded by green open spaces, incredible architecture, wellness facilities and vibrant events – a connecting hub where work, life and creativity come together. Freelancers enjoy access to our Future Forward Hub and other inspiring coworking spaces across the city, but the benefits stretch far beyond a place to work. Our freelancers are part of a dynamic ecosystem designed for collaboration, growth and visibility. We've created a platform that makes it easy to launch and grow, from fast, transparent licensing to access to global events, corporate networks and community-driven programming. We're encouraging a culture of independence, collaboration and imagination, where people succeed on their own terms while being embedded in a future-ready business community and staying connected to a larger ecosystem. We recognize that, as the UAE continues to evolve into a global hub for talent and enterprise, freelancers are powering fresh thinking and playing an increasingly vital role in driving economic diversification. At Expo City Dubai, we are proud to support this momentum, helping shape a future of work that is inclusive, resilient and full of possibility. Because working for yourself should never mean working alone.

How Egypt's Capital is Becoming the Epicenter of Real Estate Transformation in the Region
You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Cairo has always been a city of contrasts—ancient yet dynamic, chaotic yet captivating. But as we step into 2025, the Egyptian capital is no longer just a cradle of history; it's fast becoming one of the Middle East and North Africa's most exciting real estate frontiers. Fuelled by record-breaking investments, ambitious national strategies, and a population craving modern urban living, Cairo's property market is in the midst of a sweeping transformation. From sprawling gated communities and luxury towers to mixed-use smart cities, the skyline of this ancient metropolis is evolving at an unprecedented pace. THE NEW CAPITAL AND THE RISE OF GREATER CAIRO At the heart of Cairo's development story is the New Administrative Capital (NAC)—the Egyptian government's flagship project located 45 kilometers east of the current city. Envisioned as a solution to Cairo's congestion and infrastructure challenges, the NAC is set to house ministries, embassies, financial districts, residential zones, and green spaces. Its goal? To redefine Egypt's urban future. Spanning over 700 square kilometers, the New Capital is expected to accommodate over 6 million people, featuring the Iconic Tower, now the tallest building in Africa, a presidential palace, and a central park twice the size of New York's Central Park. According to Egypt's Ministry of Housing, over 500,000 residential units are already under construction across the NAC's first phase. Demand for properties remains robust, especially among Egypt's growing middle and upper-middle classes, Gulf-based Egyptian expatriates, and regional investors. KEY DEVELOPMENTS TO WATCH The New Administrative Capital (NAC) Major developers including City Edge Developments, Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG), and Misr Italia Properties have launched signature projects in the capital, such as: > Al Maqsad by City Edge > Il Bosco by Misr Italia > Capital Gardens by Palm Hills Developments These projects feature smart infrastructure, solar energy systems, and lifestyle amenities such as sports clubs, education hubs, and green corridors. Residential unit prices here range from EGP 1.7 million to over EGP 12 million, depending on size, location, and finish level. Sheikh Zayed & West Cairo Expansion West Cairo remains a favorite for affluent families seeking privacy, security, and spacious living. Sheikh Zayed City, 6th of October City, and the SODIC-led ZED project have all seen a surge in demand in 2025. The ZED Towers, in partnership with Ora Developers, have become a benchmark in luxury high-rise living. Fully sold out Phase 1 units appreciated over 25% in value within two years of launch. Palm Hills' Badya, Egypt's first "smart city", is another game-changer. Spanning 3,000 acres, it's powered by AI-driven traffic systems, energy-efficient buildings, and a digital backbone designed for tech-savvy youth. East Cairo & New Cairo East Cairo continues to thrive thanks to its proximity to business hubs and international schools. New Cairo is experiencing renewed momentum with: > Mivida by Emaar Misr > Katameya Dunes > Fifth Square by Al Marasem Emaar's Cairo Gate, located on the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, is blending luxury villas, green parks, and premium retail experiences. In 2025, the average price of luxury apartments in New Cairo has crossed EGP 45,000 per square meter, while villa prices in compounds like Mivida and Palm Hills are approaching EGP 20 million and above. Mixed-Use Mega Projects One of the standout trends in Cairo's real estate is the surge in mixed-use, live-work-play developments. Developments like ONE NINETY by LMD, Uptown Cairo by Emaar, and Cairo Festival City by Al-Futtaim offer residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail spaces within integrated ecosystems. These developments are drawing in both corporate tenants and lifestyle-focused residents who prefer minimal commute and maximum convenience. MARKET PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT TRENDS According to data from Colliers International and local brokerage sources: > Cairo's residential real estate prices grew 12.4% year- on-year in 2024, outperforming regional markets like Casablanca and Amman. > Average rental yields in new compounds range from 6.5% to 8.2%, depending on the zone and asset type. > Sales activity has surged by over 30% since 2023, led by rising demand from young professionals, urban migrants, and returning expats. Several developers have begun offering long-term payment plans, stretching from 8 to 12 years, a move that has opened the market to new segments of first- time buyers. Several developers have begun offering long-term payment plans, stretching from 8 to 12 years, a move that has opened the market to new segments of first- time buyers. WHO'S BUYING? Local demand continues to dominate the market. Cairo's population now exceeds 22 million, and rising affluence among Egypt's young, upwardly mobile demographic is fueling real estate sales. But the city is also seeing increasing interest from: > Egyptian expatriates working in the Gulf, Europe, and the US, drawn by the Golden License investment perks and digital registration systems. > Gulf investors seeking medium-term rental income and portfolio diversification. > Institutional investors eyeing large-scale acquisitions of commercial, hospitality, and residential assets in the NAC. REGULATORY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT Government reforms have played a crucial role in unlocking the market's potential: > Digital property registration and e-title deed issuance are increasing transparency. > Major infrastructure projects like the Cairo Monorail, Metro Line 4, and ring road expansions are boosting accessibility. > The Golden License initiative is attracting real estate FDI by offering streamlined procedures and land allocation. CHALLENGES AHEAD Despite the momentum, challenges remain: > Inflation and fluctuating currency rates have impacted construction costs. > Developers face pressure to differentiate in a crowded premium market. > Affordable housing demand still far outweighs supply in central zones. However, the government's public-private partnership (PPP) push and the upcoming Central Bank Mortgage Finance program are expected to balance supply-side gaps by 2026. WHAT'S NEXT? With the New Capital moving into its second phase and landmark launches like the Iconic Tower completion, Cairo is set to enter a new era of urban planning and luxury living. Projects like Azailya by New Plan Developments, Entrada by Sorouh Developments, and Compound Vinci are poised to deliver thousands of units between 2025 and 2027. Simultaneously, the rise of co-living, branded residences, and digital nomad- targeted developments shows Cairo's adaptability to global trends. Cairo is rewriting its real estate narrative. 2025 marks not just a boom year, but a maturing phase for a market that once relied on volume but now focuses on value. For investors, the message is clear: the Egyptian capital offers strong fundamentals, future-proof planning, and a market that's increasingly transparent and globally relevant. Whether you're chasing ROI or a front-row seat to one of the region's most exciting urban transformations, Cairo is more than ready — and rising fast.

"We Do Everything 100": Inside the World of Jets100 Boss Afshin Sajedi
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In a world where time is the new luxury, and inconvenience is the ultimate deal-breaker, one company is redefining what it means to travel well. We sat down with the founder and CEO of Jets100 Afshin Sajedi, a rising star in the private aviation and luxury experience space, to hear the remarkable story behind the brand—and the man who's built it from the runway up. "I started my career announcing flights at the airport," Afshin Sajedi begins with a nostalgic smile. "It was customer service—taking calls, helping passengers—and I used to watch planes take off and land, always asking, 'When is it my turn to leave this town?'" It's hard to imagine that young man now, considering the global travel empire he's created. With nearly three decades in the industry, his résumé reads like a travel industry tour de force—travel agent, tour manager, affiliate, franchise owner, and now, founder of a company that combines private aviation with bespoke, high-end experiences. Unlike traditional brokers, Jets100 isn't just offering flights. It's curating exclusive, all-inclusive experiences: seamless, immersive, and hyper-personalized. "We're not just organizing a jet and hotel. Our clients are met at the airport by our partners. Everything is orchestrated down to the golf carts at the villa. No check-ins, no lines, no waiting." The company's size is its strength. Inspired by Four Seasons' private jet program, Jets100's offerings are more intimate. "They take 46 to 60 people on multi-destination tours. We take 10," he says. "That could be five couples, or siblings, or business partners. The point is: it's personal. It's inclusive. It's manageable." Experiences range from three-day escapes to two-week adventures, targeted not at billionaires with unlimited time, but successful professionals with limited windows and high standards. Of course, it's not all glamorous. "It's the hardest job ever," he admits. "We test everything ourselves first. We see the pain points—like a loud seaplane in the Maldives or the chaos of commercial terminals—and we fix them." He recalls a recent trip to Hong Kong where a commercial airline delay turned a one-day visit into a few frantic hours. "That's the problem," he says. "Even with the best airlines—Qatar, Singapore, Emirates—you're still at the mercy of logistics." Jets100, he says, is the solution: "We created a product that upgrades people from first class to private travel, because we have it all." Some of the company's partnerships sound almost mythical. "We work with private islands in the Maldives and Turks and Caicos—places with their own runways, no passport control, and villas that cost $500,000 a week during Christmas. One island is owned by a Czech billionaire and refurbished every single year." Guests arrive via private jet, greeted mid-air by immigration officials. "No terminals. You land, walk to reception, and you're in your villa in five minutes—with two golf carts waiting." It's a far cry from the crowded terminals and seaplane transfers that plague even luxury travelers. Launched in Miami in June 2023, Jets100 is still technically a startup, but one with a bold future. "We're competing with the Four Seasons," he says matter-of-factly. "We want to be a public company. We want to be sold out a year in advance." And Sajedi isn't hiding behind the scenes. "I'm there on every trip—for now. Our clients get to travel with me. I supervise everything personally until I can trust the business to run at the standard I expect." Despite the glitz, there's humility too. "My daughter used to think this was all parties," he laughs. "Now that she works with me, she knows—it's hard work. There's stress, there's pressure. But it's also purpose." You get the feeling he isn't just building a company. He's shaping a new travel standard. And from the tarmac to the tropics, it's clear: Jets100 isn't just a name. It's a philosophy.

The Art Behind the Precision: In Conversation with Marco Grassi
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Marco Grassi is an Italian painter rooted in the traditions of old masters and Renaissance techniques, notably the soft "sfumato" transitions, which he seamlessly updates for the 21st century. His hyper-realistic yet transformative portraits often capture moments of metamorphosis—where human figures merge with nature—exploring themes of change, beauty, and resilience. Grassi spoke exclusively with Entrepreneur Middle East's Wissam Younane -- below are snippets of that conversation: Your hyper realistic portraits feel alive—almost more vivid than real life. When did you first discover this was the artistic language that truly spoke for you? (to reflect on when your visual identity took shape) "In the beginning, I wasn't driven by a specific goal, but I was captivated by the great painters of the past; what guided me most was the desire to be like them, to master the art of colour just like those artists whose artworks I always saw in fine art books. At the same time, I was incredibly excited to create something of my own, something that felt truly mine. At first, I simply painted. It was an instinctive act, something that flowed naturally. I think I was always inherently drawn to painting. That said, my early works weren't particularly meticulous nor hyperrealistic. Some elements, like faces, were quite blurred. With each painting, I gradually moved closer to my current style, without consciously aiming for it, just enjoying the process along the way." Details of "Mother of pearl" by Marco Grassi. Image courtesy Marco Grassi Your work blurs the line between precision and emotion. What drew you to hyper realism, and what does it allow you to express that other styles couldn't? (To understand the deeper why behind your artistic choice.) "Although I didn't have a specific style in mind when I started, I was always drawn towards figurative painting. From a very young age, I was immersed in Italy's rich cultural tradition, museums, exhibitions and art fairs, which sparked a lasting love for Old Masters, especially from the late Renaissance and Baroque periods. I've spent years studying these painters, helped greatly by my family's extensive fine art library. I've always dreamed of reaching their level of mastery. There are artists from that historical period who continue to move me profoundly, no matter how many times I've seen their work. More than realism itself, what captivates me is the quality of the piece and the emotions it awakes in the viewer. My goal has always been to create timeless art, one that's as far removed as possible from passing trends or fleeting styles. For me, pursuing the highest level of painterly excellence is the truest way to express who I am. No other style resonates so naturally with my personality…so the choice was simple." Hyperrealism requires extreme discipline and patience. What mental and emotional space do you need to enter in order to create at that level of intensity? (To uncover the process behind the perfection.) "I feel like I have no right to complain: working in the arts is an immense privilege. That said, there are moments when painting becomes exhausting. The level of concentration remains exceptionally high and sustained throughout the day, particularly during the final stages of execution. Seeing very slow progress over the course of months can be challenging. In those times, it's important to remind myself of the excitement I felt at the beginning of the project, and to keep the final result in mind. Many people might think that creating art is a disorganized or chaotic process. I see it differently—I like to have a clear plan in place. I try to visualize all the steps that need to happen to complete the painting, and that structure helps make the process feel less overwhelming." "Ethereal embrace" by Marco Grassi. Image courtesy Marco Grassi Were there moments early in your career when people didn't take your work seriously—or didn't understand your direction? How did you keep pushing through the doubt? (Exploring resilience in the face of external scepticism) "Unfortunately, at the beginning of an artistic career, our work is often underestimated and not given the recognition it deserves. When I was younger, people would frequently ask if I had another job besides being an artist, or whether it was truly possible to make a living from painting, as if the idea itself were somehow unrealistic. I appreciate the question, as it gives me a chance to reflect on something important. Art is a deeply human activity, and its value in society is often overlooked or taken for granted. Yet art is not only something to be enjoyed. It's something that must be protected and supported. Just imagine, even for a moment, a world without art: no books, no museums, no music, no films, no architecture, no dance, no theatre… no creative expression at all. I don't think anyone would want to live in a world like that. Personally, I've never had any doubts. I would have continued painting regardless of whether I ever built a career as an artist. Of course, the path would have looked different from what it is today, but for me, art, painting especially, goes far beyond recognition or success." Details of "Paradox of evolution" by Marco Grassi. Image courtesy Marco Grassi Has any piece you created taken more from you emotionally than others? One that felt like you left a part of yourself in it? (To reveal the deeper stories hidden behind specific artworks) "The most challenging was probably the painting "Breathe", which I feel especially connected to. It required more research and effort than any of the others. Planning alone took months, and the execution stretched over nearly two years. What makes it even more meaningful for me is the message it carries: a powerful reflection on the connection between humans and nature, touching on anthropocentrism and envisioning an imagined future where the nature we know today fades away, replaced by artificial vegetation. It reflects on humanity's role on this planet and the intertwining between the natural world and the artificial one. The work underlines how we are progressively detaching ourselves from the rhythms of nature, stepping instead into a reality that is increasingly synthetic, constructed, and mediated by technology." What were some of the hardest lessons you learned—not just about technique, but about the art world, building a name, and protecting your vision? (try to Bring out the behind-the-scenes reality most people never see.) "At the beginning of my career, I encountered several obstacles. One in particular stands out in my memory. I was 25, and I had only been painting for a few years, but I was already starting to gain some recognition. However, I soon realized that not everyone was rooting for me. Some people, especially within the art world, including artists and art critics, were spreading falsehoods and casting doubt on my paintings. They claimed my works weren't genuine, arguing that it simply wasn't possible to paint the way I did. Although now I take it as a compliment, it was very challenging at the time. Especially because I was young, and nobody prepared me for anything like that. It sounds crazy, but in order to prove that my artworks were real paintings from start to finish, I provided the results of various analyses (such as UV fluorescence examination, infrared reflectography, and X-radiography). I also started creating work-in-progress videos to show the process behind each new painting. I had hoped for support, especially from those who had been in the field longer than I had. I felt failed by some members of the artistic community, which tried to shut down my career before it even began. To all emerging painters: the path won't always be smooth, and not everyone will support you. But don't get discouraged: keep creating, no matter what." "Captivity" by Marco Grassi. Image courtesy Marco Grassi People see the flawless result, but rarely the long nights, the failed attempts, or the moments of frustration. What does the road to a single finished piece really look like for you? (To Humanize the technical brilliance) "You summed it up pretty well! Especially in the early years as a painter, I went through many moments of frustration and sometimes I felt mentally drained. Since I have never been formally trained in painting, I had to find my own way of learning. I had some gaps in my knowledge, particularly in areas like the choice of materials and composition. This meant I had to learn it on my own, working intensely, often late into the night, constantly experimenting and learning from my mistakes. There were many times when I changed the composition along the way, completely erasing entire sections and redoing them from scratch. Over time, I've become much better at planning my paintings in advance, so I haven't made major mistakes in recent years. When painting in such a highly realistic style, everything must appear coherent and balanced. The margin for error is minimal, which makes every step of the process more challenging. Many people focus solely on the level of detail, but that's just the visible outcome of a much deeper effort happening behind the scenes." Your portraits seem to hold unspoken stories. What are you trying to evoke in the viewer when they meet the eyes of your subjects? (To dive into the emotional intention behind your work) "Through the eyes, or more accurately, through the presence of the subject in its entirety, I seek to build a bridge, an emotional connection with the viewer. My goal is to invite them into the work. The feeling I try to evoke varies from painting to painting. Sometimes it's a sense of longing for something undefined, other times it's sadness or quiet reflection. The possibilities are endless. To me, art is not just a mean of communication, but above all, a way to move, to stir something deep within those who observe. What I fear most isn't criticism, it's indifference." Image courtesy Marco Grassi What advice would you give to emerging artists who are obsessed with technique but still struggling to find their emotional voice in their work? (A chance to mentor from your own experience) "I would say that technique is usually the foundation of all artistic work, across different styles and disciplines. Understanding the materials, as well as the rich tradition of artists who came before us, is very important. If you're struggling to find your own voice, try to focus on what truly matters to you. It could be a clear political or social message or simply finding peace through colours and textures—it doesn't matter. Create, paint, sculpt, express your soul, and your technique will improve along the way. Don't obsess over perfection. It's totally fine to draw inspiration from those you admire, to look for ideas, but what you create should ultimately be your most genuine and personal expression. Be authentic and communicate what you truly care about. Little by little, the path will become clearer and easier to follow." After everything—success, mistakes, sacrifices—what drives you today? What keeps Marco Grassi painting? "The passion I felt from day one is still very much alive. Painting brings me immense joy. It's my personal refuge and a form of self-therapy. Even though it's now my profession, I still genuinely love creating, and I know I'll never give it up." What would you like to tell your Dubai Fans and when can we expect you in the United Arab Emirates? "Many people from the UAE follow my work, including a few collectors. It still surprises me, in the best way, to know that my work resonates with people so far away. It would be a true honour to one day hold a major exhibition in Dubai, to meet those who have supported me for so long and to share my art with a new audience. I've sensed an authentic enthusiasm among my followers there, especially for a type of art that is becoming increasingly rare. There is a real appreciation for quality, and I'm so grateful for that."
