Promising areas
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is currently one of the most dynamically developing and promising areas for real estate investment. The capital of the Emirates has gained worldwide recognition thanks to its oil wealth. Abu Dhabi has successfully diversified its economy, making it very attractive to investors. In this article we will look at promising areas and opportunities for investors.
Why Abu Dhabi?
Stable Economy and Political Stability
The introduction and implementation of business support and investment programs contribute to the growth of foreign economic activity and the attractiveness of Abu Dhabi as an international business hub. Strengthening the infrastructure of specialized economic zones not only improves conditions for current investors, but also attracts new foreign direct investment, stimulating economic development and technological innovation.
The Statistics Centre - Abu Dhabi (SCAD) has issued preliminary statistical estimates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), revealing a strong performance of the non-oil economy, which recorded a remarkable growth of 9.1%, and 3.1% growth of Abu Dhabi’s real GDP during 2023 compared to 2022.
Tourists have begun to choose Abu Dhabi more often for their holidays. 24 million travelers visited in 2023 which is 33% more than in 2022, and 18 million travelers visited it in 2022, which is 18% more than in 2021. This creates a favorable environment for investment.
Attractive Investment Opportunities
Abu Dhabi is actively investing in the development of its infrastructure, education and healthcare, which attracts both local and foreign investors. Over the past year, sales of new buildings have increased by 127%. There are two free economic zones in the region - Masdar City and Twofour54, which are a catalyst for capital inflow. The emirate offers a variety of investment packages and incentives, making real estate investing even more attractive.
Promising areas of Abu Dhabi
1. Saadiyat Island
Saadiyat Island is one of the most luxurious areas of Abu Dhabi, which is rapidly developing. This island attracts investors due to its beautiful beaches, high level of security and many cultural and recreational activities. Here you can find luxury apartments and villas that promise high potential for rental and subsequent sale.
One of the key events that made Saadiyat famous was the opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi in 2017. This masterpiece, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, was the first major art museum on the Arab Peninsula. Inside its walls you will find a rich collection of art representing cultures and eras from all over the world.
But Saadiyat is not only about the Louvre. Future plans include the opening of the Guggenheim Museum and the Sheikh Zayed National Museum. This means that Saadiyat will become an even more significant cultural center, attracting art lovers from all over the world. One of the main places to see is the unique interfaith complex Abrahamic Family House, which consists of a Mosque, a Catholic Cathedral and a Synagogue side by side.
In addition, the island has some of the best beaches with turquoise water, soft white sand and amazing dunes. The island is protected by the state due to its unique flora and fauna. The coast is home to a rare species of hawksbill sea turtles, pods of dolphins swim in the bay, and the beach is home to picturesque landscapes of mangroves. All this makes Saadiyat Island one of the most beautiful places in the world.
There are five major five-star hotels here: The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel And Villas and Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, offering a variety of upscale services. The island also has a walking area along the coast with restaurants, bars and cafes.

A golf club with stunning views of the Persian Gulf has been created here - Saadiyat Beach Golf Club with 18 holes. The complex was designed by professional athlete Gary Player, considered one of the greatest players of all time.
There is a marina on the coast, which is the starting point for Nurai Island. This is an exclusive island with 33 luxury villas and the five-star Zaya Nurai Island Hotel. Two more marinas are under construction.
