For any investment decisions anywhere, we need to consider the external environment (social, political, economic), rate of return and risk factor. So, based on these criteria, you may consider several destinations in the middle-east and then choose the best one with risk and high return.

you have to look on Phillip's curve, which suggest that you should not invest during these crisis, you see, the real estate is affected by oil prices, maybe u should wait till it reach lowest point before you purchase, however you can't really say that this is temporary, what if it lasts for 5 years or 10 years, then ur real estate might lose it's value.

Real estate investment is linked to too many sectors, including the oil sector, and fortunately that most of the materials used in the construction are not imported and therefore would not be greatly affected by fluctuations in the dollar prices, which in my perspective is a good investment to increase the gross domestic product and contributes significantly to reducing unemployment.

I think the real estate investment activity

is linked to several factors, such as

* - Tourism

*- Security

*- Economy

*- the climate

* - Energy

* - Expectations for the future

The most important is the security 

areas that are currently experiencing unrest can not anticipate having the opportunity to invest in a real estate

All investments in this stage will be tough

 

Investing in real estate and services projects is preferred because it is more demand and less affected by what happens

The Real Estate Investment in the Middle East of the best safe investments. In terms of increased demand for real estate is conducive to maintaining the value of the constant increase in value. Even in cases of oversupply remains retain their value not affected by any global economic variables

According to current Deloitte report, positive market fundamentals for Dubai, including infrastructure investment and connectivity, offer potentially good prospects in the real estate market for well specified developments. However, despite these market fundamentals, headwinds are expected in Dubai’s real estate market for the year. Further research and analysis may be required for other countries in the region.
