Tax-free and entrepreneur-friendly, the emirates are where ambition can flourish This is the city state that capitalism built. It’s a giant corporation, Dubai Inc. Everyone is welcome – no matter how troublesome their relatives – provided they do one thing: make money.
Dubai makes life easy for entrepreneurs. Setting up a company takes as little as two hours and foreigners can trade almost any goods or services in the dozens of duty-free micro-cities, each devoted to a business sector: Media City, Aviation City, Healthcare City and so on. Finance houses in the Dubai International Finance Centre trade in western and sharia-compliant shares and bonds.
Regulation is light-touch and there is no income tax, corporation tax or sales tax. Thanks to the fast-growing national airline, Emirates, the city is well connected to markets in Europe, Asia and Africa. Dubai’s location – two hours’ flight from the Asian subcontinent – means an endless supply of labourers to work in construction and the service sector.
Culturally, the living is easy. Dubai’s Muslim rulers have a remarkably tolerant attitude towards westerners. Christians can build their own churches and worship freely, alcohol is available to nonMuslims, women can dress how they wish and do any job, foreigners can own freehold property and while homosexuality is not tolerated, Brokeback Mountain is available in Video Ezy, the DVD rental shop. Politically, the city state is neutral, having avoided getting sucked into regional conflicts.
Small wonder that the foreigners are pouring in at a rate of 25,000 a month, stoking an economy that is already expanding at 11% a year, generating a $30 billion trade surplus. Under its Strategic Plan, Dubai plans to maintain double-digit growth and achieve a GDP of $108 billion by 2015.

Qatar Commercial Tower Launch
Business Square is an urban development spanning 39,000 sqm and is located in the southern end of Lusail, close to the West Bay area, within the Marina District. The launch comes close on the heels of an announcement made by the developer last month on the opening of their first sales office in Qatar.
Business Square is 20 stories tall and is meticulously designed to enhance a productive work atmosphere so as to reap exhilarating returns. The value of the project stands at QR 350m.
Speaking at the launch, Peter Riddoch, CEO, DAMAC Properties, says, “Qatar is the world’s second-fastest growing economy in the property sector in 2008 according to reports. The Qatari real estate sector which has evolved substantially over the years is currently experiencing an incredible demand for highly profitable real estate investments. Business Square is a step forward by us to strengthen our presence and showcase our commitment to the Qatari market. We are moving aggressively into Qatar with two residential launches, the opening of our first sales office, and our first commercial tower launch in just over two months. Business Square benefits greatly from its ideal location as Lusail - the master development - encourages inbound investment and provides world class living and working environments that will stimulate the local economy.”
He added, “The real GDP growth in Qatar is expected to top 14.3% this year and 13.5% in 2009. The construction projects in the region are expected to experience a steep rise in the next three years and DAMAC Properties is eyeing huge investments in Qatar’s real estate with more than US\$45 billion worth of projects in the pipeline across various sectors in the region.”
Business Square provides multilevel parking and round-the-clock security along with hi-speed internet, swipe access, a business lounge, and reception area that will be incorporated into an office environment where employees will enjoy walking into day after day.
In order to balance hard work out with just as much play; top of the range leisure facilities are easily accessible within the tower. A health club, gym, and multi-function room will all be part of a relaxing, refreshing atmosphere characteristic of Business Square. Cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and retail complement this commercial community.
In April, DAMAC Properties released details of two residential projects; Garden Heights – a luxury residential high-rise and The Terrace at Fox Hills, both at the Lusail development.
Lusail is Qatar’s largest mega project. Lusail, home to a self-sustaining residential and commercial community with retail, hospitality, resort and entertainment venues, is scheduled to be completed by 2010 and is expected to house over 200,000 residents.
Qatar is an integral component of DAMAC’s expansion plans and part of the company’s global vision. The newly opened sales office in Doha provides information on DAMAC’s projects, master plans, and details on the progress of different projects across all markets. The sales executives meet and address the queries of prospective customers and business partners on various projects locally, regionally and internationally

High Returns forecast for Cairo Property Investment
Egypt seems to be the next country of choice for investors who are benefiting from high returns from both rental yield and capital growth. More visitors and potential property buyers are visiting not only in the Sinai tourist areas but also in the major cities such as Cairo and Alexandria. Off plan properties are currently selling for 30% less than market value, and the tourist industry runs for 12 months of the year. Egypt offers ancient history from Alexandria to Aswan and the length of the Sinai penensula offers a divers paradise with warm water and an abundance of coral.
Investors looking for a low risk place in which to invest their money would be wise to seriously consider Egypt. Once people realise that Egypt is more than just history and culture, the Egyptian property market will really escalate, and when that happens, investors who have bought into the property market early are certain to make a very good return on their low risk investment.

Dubai Opens the Worlds Biggest Shopping Mall
The world's biggest shopping mall opens in Dubai next month amid predictions that it will create new investment in the high growth retail sector. There is no sign of the depression of the credit crunch in Dubai where confidence is soaring: There is no let up in the growth of the retail, commercial and residential construction boom.
Dubai Mall expects to attract 30 million shoppers in its first year. With its 1,200 retail units, two anchor department stores and over 120 food and beverage outlets, even more visitors are likely to be attracted by access to the Burj Dubai observatory tower.
Prestigious Galleries Lafayette, France's leading lifestyle retailer, is the first department store to open in the mall, their first shop outside of the European Union. The Fashion Avenue section of the mall will have over 70 haute couture stores.
The Dubai Mall will also feature the Gold Souk, the largest of its kind in the world, which will showcase a collection of over 220 of the region's gold and jewellery retailers.
With an adjoining 5 star hotel, the opening is also expected to bring added value to those who have invested in the 450 serviced apartments.
Plans have been discussed to extend the Dubai Metro system, which is currently under construction, to neighbouring emirate Ajman.
Although the project is still very much in its "proposal phase", this surprise news is aimed at meeting the growing demand for a public transport system that will connect the Emirates.
According to the proposal, the metro will pass through Emirates Road to Al Corniche in Ajman. From there it will go to Al Zawra and then onto new investment areas currently under development. Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of Ajman Municipality and Planning Department has, however, stressed that this proposal is only in discussion and many considerations still have to be made.
