Dubai Real Estate Developers Set Rare Visit to Israel Amid Strong Investor Demand
A delegation of senior real estate developers from Dubai is expected to arrive in Israel in the coming weeks for meetings with Israeli investors, marking the first such visit since the war began and after a long period of regional uncertainty. The trip is intended to present investment opportunities in Dubai’s property market, and industry observers see the decision to come to Israel as a strong vote of confidence in the Israeli economy and its active investor community.
Among the companies already confirmed are Ellington and Beyond, two leading developers in the Emirates. Together, they market 12 to 17 projects a year with a combined value of more than 20 billion shekels. During the visit, dozens of residential, luxury, and investment projects will be shown to Israeli investors at a range of price points.
The delegation comes as demand from Israelis for Dubai real estate continues. Industry estimates say Israeli buyers have purchased properties worth between 5 billion and 10 billion shekels since the signing of the Abraham Accords, with some major deals completed quietly. That has made Israelis one of the most significant foreign investor groups in Dubai’s local market.
The initiative is being led by Galidai Properties, one of the most active Israeli marketing and investment firms in Dubai. The company says it employs more than 100 agents and handles real estate transactions worth hundreds of millions of shekels. Founder and CEO Yaakov Galidai said that when top Dubai developers choose to visit Israel in person, it sends a message beyond any single deal, calling it proof of confidence in the Israeli market and in the quality of Israeli investors.
