Dubai’s property market has recovered vastly following its crash during the financial crisis in 2008/2009.

A recent report by real estate services firm, Hamptons MENA found that property prices in Dubai increased by an average of 20 to 30 per cent across the market last year.

Earlier this week, Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum also ordered property developer Nakheel to commence work on two of its massive projects in the emirate.
