In a clear sign of changing times, women in Dubai are reshaping the real estate landscape, with investments totaling a remarkable AED 118 billion in 2024 alone.
According to data released by the Dubai Land Department, more than 32,000 women were active participants in the property market this year. Their combined investment reflects not only financial strength but also a growing confidence among women in pursuing long-term, high-value assets.
This figure represents around 34% of the total investor base in Dubai’s property sector for 2024—an unprecedented level of female participation that reflects broader national efforts to enhance women’s roles in economic development.
Officials point to the UAE’s strategic policies aimed at gender balance as a major driver behind this momentum. Through initiatives that promote equal opportunity, financial inclusion, and entrepreneurship, the government has created a fertile environment where women can thrive as investors, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers.
The real estate market, often seen as a barometer for economic confidence, is now witnessing a wave of female-led investments, particularly in emerging neighborhoods, luxury developments, and sustainable housing projects.
Dubai’s leadership has continuously emphasized the importance of empowering women, not just in traditional sectors like education and healthcare, but in core areas of economic growth. The latest numbers serve as clear evidence of that vision coming to life.
Looking ahead, experts believe this trend will continue to accelerate, driven by a generation of ambitious, financially savvy women who are keen to leave their mark on Dubai’s ever-evolving skyline.
