Press review: Dubai property, October 2026
The month in Dubai real estate as covered by the UAE business press — prices, supply, mortgages and regulation, with links to every source.

A short review of what the UAE business press wrote about the property market over the last 30 days, refreshed every week. Every line is an outlet’s own headline with a link to the original: this is the agenda, not my analysis. My own take sits in the articles next to this one.
