Following on from the rest of the year’s trends, Q2 outperformed previous quarters and we will most likely see this trend continue until the end of year and into 2022.” Tags Dubai June Meydan property Sales Transactions 0 Comments You might also like Aldar acquires Dhs2.3bn commercial tower in DIFC 5 tips for thriving in Dubai’s business environment Eid Al Etihad 53: Where to watch National Day fireworks in the UAE Insights: Dubai reigns as the ultimate destination for luxury living
