Investing in Dubai from Russia
Why Russia invests in Dubai
Alongside Brits and Indians, Russians have been pioneers of Dubai property investment.
Since Dubai opened freehold ownership to foreign buyers in 2002, investors from Russia have come for the quality of life and the returns Dubai property offers.
Russian buyers stepped up their Dubai purchases after 2022 and remain one of the city's largest buyer groups: about 9% of Dubai property transactions in 2025, the fifth-largest nationality after India, the UK, China and Saudi Arabia, according to Benham & Reeves analysis of Dubai Land Department data (March 2026).
What to know before investing
Dubai suits buyers diversifying outside their home market: freehold title for foreign buyers in designated areas, no annual property tax and a dirham pegged to the US dollar.
Russian buyers join a market that drew buyers from more than 150 countries in 2025 (Anarock, reported by Khaleej Times, 19 July 2026), so owners here let and resell to a wide international pool.
