How to read this map
Emerging: mostly off-plan with little rental history. Overheated: prices up 5% or more and well ahead of Dubai while rents lag. Rising: prices and rents both ahead of Dubai. Mature: both near Dubai's pace. Lagging: both behind. Active: everything else.
Phases compare each area with Dubai this year, so an area can read as rising while its own prices dip, if Dubai fell further. Our DLD records start on 1 January 2026, so this isn't a long-term cycle.
