The government of UAE is taking extraordinary measures to attract foreign investors to invest. CEO of W Capital Waleed Al-Zaruri said that 127,000 capital deals have been made in the property sector this year. The investment is not only in the luxury resort and hotel industry but also in middle class houses, apartments and shops.

Waleed al-Zaruri also stated that foreign investors are preferring to invest in Dubai because the capital investment process is kept very simple, tax concessions are being given and UAE’s infrastructure is providing ample opportunities to earn high profits.
