According to Majida Ali Rashid, CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector at Dubai Land Department (DLD), Women investors have made a significant impact on Dubai’s real estate sector in 2024, contributing $32.15 billion through more than 50,979 property transactions. This highlights their growing financial involvement and confidence in the market. Currently, women account for 34 percent of all real estate investors in Dubai, indicating a strong and increasing presence in this traditionally male-dominated field.
Majida Ali Rashid emphasized that women bring strategic vision and leadership skills to the sector. Their participation is not only about investment but also about shaping the future of Dubai’s real estate market. This aligns with broader economic and social objectives under Dubai’s D33 economic agenda and the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to support sustainable growth, innovation, and inclusivity in the economy.
Women investors are becoming key players in Dubai’s real estate market, driving long-term, stable investments and supporting the emirate’s goals for economic diversification and social development. Their involvement reflects a shift toward more inclusive growth and highlights their role in shaping Dubai’s future economic landscape.
Rashid said upcoming phases will focus on expanding policies that support women in real estate through investment incentives, advisory services, and increased representation in leadership roles.
The Dubai Land Department has started a number of programs to further empower women, such as the “Dubai Real Estate Brokers Programme,” which has increased the number of women in broking, and the “Real Estate Empowerment Programme,” which has drawn over 1,000 women to the industry.
Along with providing training programs, funding options, and assistance for women-led entrepreneurship, the department is also attempting to establish a flexible investment environment.
In addition to investing, women are essential to family decision-making and financial security. The DLD has responded by creating awareness campaigns aimed at boosting women’s self-esteem and decision-making skills in the real estate market.
