Dubai real estate offers a huge potential for investors, mainly due to tax-free rental income and stable market conditions. Real estate transactions in Dubai are valued at AED 20.24B alone in the first half of February 2025. If you are an Emirati or GCC investor, there are several non-freehold areas in Dubai to invest in.
While freehold areas allow anyone to buy property, non-freehold areas are limited to Emirati and GCC investors. These areas offer a high rental income, stability and growth. Let’s quickly explore the best non-freehold areas in Dubai.

What Are Non-Freehold Areas?
Dubai caters to diverse choices and attracts investors from around the globe. To ease it up for investors, the emirate has specified freehold areas where everyone, including non-GCC nationals, can purchase properties. On the contrary, non-freehold areas in Dubai are where only Emirati and GCC nationals can buy properties.
Top Non-Freehold Areas in Dubai
If you are an Emirati or GCC investor, you are no short of options for non-freehold areas in Dubai. These areas offer a high rental income, long-term benefits and stable growth.
While the majority parts of these areas are non-freehold, some sub-communities may allow freehold investments. As an investor, you can verify the freehold status with a real estate agent or Dubai Land Department.
