Yes, foreigners can buy property in Dubai. Since 2002, the Dubai government has allowed freehold property ownership in designated areas for non-residents and expatriates. Freehold areas include popular locations such as Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, and Jumeirah Lake Towers. This policy has made Dubai an attractive investment destination for international buyers. Freehold ownership means you own the property and the land it is built on, with the right to lease, sell, or use the property at your discretion.
