have to agree with Puma 100%.

Anyway, what ever means "long term" - It is easy to take the lead in Middle East and North Africa. I always thought Dubai had bigger ambitions to become a first class investment destination of THE WORLD... Now they compete with Cairo, Jeddah, Manama and Doha? At least it stays in the family though...

No credibility to this garbage news which comes on this page. Do you believe anyone can trust your news about property prices and current market situation. You can even laugh at this rubbish. Please can you do more research on this subject instead printing and publishing rot. printing anything and everything. We would require more responsible journalism. I doubt what pupose you newsletter serves. You need to add you findings instead of collecting this junk from every where.

It's about time, the media realises not to publish such rubbish, the ppl have been scammed enuff, I was one of those lucky ones not to invest here, Amen to Puma's comments also.

The term "long term" applies to "Normal Societies". In UAE the major chunk of population is living on temporary residence visas. Most of them do not know where they will be, say, after two years. You lose your job today, you have 30 days to leave the country. On top of everything, the way policies change here, I for one would rather invest my hard earned money in a more "Stable" country, even if the returns are low!!!!!

The Dubai market will take a previous comment a long time -5-10 years and by that time all teh experts will be elsewhere commenting and riding the markets to false hopes
Posted by Jebel Ali Baba, Dubai, UAE on 27 September 2009 at 15:27 UAE time
What does long term mean in UAE perspective? 10 or 20 years? The life span of the buildings here is not more than 30-40 years which means about long term in the rest of the world.
