The delegation is made up of French politicians, architects, and specialists of the construction industry and 9 French companies.

The goal of the visit, officials told Arabian Business, is to identify current significant projects and meet with the main people of real estate development in the UAE and the GCC countries to discuss the possibilities of extending their work to the Gulf region.

During their time in Dubai, the delegation will take in presentations and meetings involving Dubailand, the Nakheel Group, Dubai World Central Groupand the Sama Dubai Group.
