Dubai is a city leaving both clouds and the sea; a challenge to the desert and human imagination; the center of the world's tallest skyscrapers and fantastic artificial islands, fabulous entertainment and enchanting festivals. An amazing city that grew up on the edge of the desert, as if created in order to impress the human imagination.
Dubai is a world-famous year-round tourist destination for family and outdoor activities, alluring with its warm sunny climate, white sandy beaches and azure waters of the Persian Gulf. Dubai is a paradise city for tourists, because here they are waiting for excellent service, fashionable hotels and excellent conditions for sports, recreation, shopping.
Today, vacationers are joined by those who wish to live in a modern metropolis, which has all the advantages of a luxury seaside resort. Even despite the crisis, construction in Dubai continues, and every month new and new facilities are commissioned. Thanks to existing legislation, foreign investors now have the opportunity to acquire property in the emirate of Dubai for the purpose of further residence or leasing.
However, with all the variety of real estate sold in Dubai, the choice of projects on the so-called "first line", that is, located directly on the seashore, for acquisition of ownership by foreign citizens is limited. This is, first of all, due to the fact that among the entire coastal territory of the emirate, only artificial bulk islands (three “Palms” and the project “The World”) fell into the “freehold” zone, where property rights are allowed for foreigners. , the Dubai Marina area and the area west of Jebel Ali Port, is the Dubai Waterfront coastal mega-project. Moreover, Waterfront, Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira and The World have not yet been built up (and Palm Deira have not yet been poured) and will not be built up in the next few years.
Thus, the choice of freehold housing by the sea is limited by a relatively small number of projects in the areas of Dubai Marina and on the bulk island of The Palm Jumeirah. Let's consider these projects in more detail. But first, it is necessary to clarify that we can talk about the following three fundamentally different types of residential real estate:
- Apartments
These are apartments in an apartment building (complex). As a rule, residential complexes include everything necessary for a comfortable life - parking, swimming pools, recreation areas, gyms, etc.
- Villas
These are detached or semi-detached houses (townhouses) with a land plot belonging to them, on which, depending on its size, there may be pools, gardens, gazebos, etc.
- Hotel Apartments
These are apartments managed by the hotel (hotel room) or apartments that are maintained by the hotel’s operating company. We can also talk about villas in the hotel complexes, managed or maintained by the hotel.
So, here is a list and a brief description of the main coastal projects of Dubai, in accordance with the above classification:
