Who Is Entitled to Own Real Estate in The Emirate of Dubai?

In Dubai, UAE and GCC nationals, as well as foreigners, can own real estate. Foreigners are allowed to purchase properties in designated freehold areas, where they can own property with full ownership rights. Non-GCC residents can either buy freehold or leasehold properties, depending on the area, while UAE nationals can own property anywhere in the emirate.
