Dubai during the peak of the heat, questions about safety, and new investment opportunities. Yaksha explores what life in the city is like during the summer, what has changed following the conflict, and where the real estate market is heading.
Together with Veronika Plichtová, CEO of Move Homes, we head to Creek Harbour, a residential area filled with greenery. This is where we dive into the topics of rentals and investment potential. Why might a tourist-famous address not automatically be the best choice for an investor? How is housing demand shifting, and why might residential neighborhoods be more attractive than they first appear?
The Dubai real estate market, however, goes much further. During a private presentation, Yaksha gets a glimpse into the world of penthouses priced at around 100 million euros and discovers the AVA project, which blends luxury living with the principles of longevity.
But how does Dubai function during the hottest time of the year? With chilled pools, sports centers, indoor activities, and less crowded spots, it’s clear that the city doesn't slow down even in the summer.
The question of safety following the conflict is also coming to the forefront, further amplified by media reports. But does the image from the outside match the everyday reality in Dubai?
Did this experience change Yaksha's initially skeptical view of Dubai? This is the question that concludes his stay in the city.
