Depends on what the investment goals are, growth, yield etc. Dubai is the best for capital growth should you buy if prices are relatively low. If capital growth is limited, then yield would be something to look at which would move us towards investments in Abu Dhabi. Overall, this is the way I would look at it and would approach such situations.

As far as the saying goes "Buy low and sell high", Dubai has recently seen some major drops in property values.  Occupancy is currently low and the market is starting to level out, so if you see a good opportunity in a good developing area, may be worth considering.

Provided the same political instability in the region the best would be as follows. UAE, Qatar and then comes Egypt. with the latter really hit hard by rescission and bad economical management by the government but still there is a vast and major opportunities in the market. The KSA market is also great but due to the hue dependency on the oil the next 2 years will be real hard on the market also Kuwait is in the same situation.

I think investment in Real State is very sensitive and risky.So I am advising you to make the necessary feasibility study of investment opportunities and it's laws, grants and facilities provided by the targets countryand the going concern of not changing in this kind of investments laws, also the security and stability in the country a decade, then take your right decision.

Egypt

Continuous demand for real state

+ Economy is not growing enough on the last few years so you will expect another boom in medium and long term

The Middle East investors are concentrated on destinations for investment split equally between the US and Europe (UK, France).

As your investment in real estate should reach the Middle East, it can't be clarified by country, because as an example - Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both within UAE, but the prices in Dubai go UP, but down in Abu Dhabi.

Dubai is the most exciting city in the world.

Dubai welcomes record 14.2 million overnight visitors in 2015 - registering growth double that of global tourism industry, which is not depended on natural resources as petrol and gas.

I second Mr Sultan Alghamdi. However compare economic conditions with Jordan and make final decision.
