Rental rates in Dubai are expected to continue to drop this year, according to the latest report from Core Savills. Higher inflation, the introduction of VAT and the continued strength of the US dollar are among the leading causes of the decline of the rental market.

Consultancy Firm Knight Frank predict that Dubai’s real estate sector is predicted to experience steady growth this year.
