The economy of the emirate is also expected to improve by 4.7 percent, up on 3.9 percent in 2024 in reflection of its strength with strategic positioning in non-oil sectors. This growth poses a golden chance to the Israeli investors who wish to invest in long-term stable returns in a diversified environment.

There have been investment funds of 10 billion which will be used to encourage partnership in major sectors like energy, healthcare, agri-tech and advanced technology.
This favorable macroeconomic outlook influenced by the deepening diplomatic affiliations makes the emirate one of the most promising prospects of Middle East investment, especially by Israeli entrepreneurs and institutional investors keen on benefiting in the form of sustainable growth.
Strategic Location and Global Connectivity
The unequaled geographical position of Dubai as the junction of Europe, Asia, and Africa makes it an unrivaled launching buoy of the Israeli investors. It is complemented by a strategic location that in 2025 will be boosted by improved connectivity by air, sea and a new inland trade road.
The UAE-Israel land bridge that will connect UAE ports to Israel via Saudi Arabia and Jordan has reduced shipping time by 14 days to only 4 days. This growth facilitates trade logic and makes it much cheaper to operate as an exporter and an importer in Israel.
Moreover, Dubai international airport is among the busiest that guarantees smooth travel and cargo accessibility. There are multiple flights between Tel Aviv and Dubai, and it has never been more therapeutic or efficient to carry out business among Israeli analysts as well as investors.
Such a great degree of accessibility allows Dubai to continue playing a crucial role in any regional investment plan of any Israeli company planning to expand its presence in the Middle East and North Africa.

The slash on tariffs became possible due to the UAE-Israel Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed in 2022, which reduced the bilateral trade tariffs to more than 96 percent. This creates an easier process of doing business and also avenues of investments to Israeli businesses in real estates, manufacturing and services.
Israeli investors are also given more control and flexibility in operating because 100 percent foreign ownership is permitted in designated Free Zones and some selected categories of the mainland businesses in Dubai. The simplicity in establishing a business, lack of red-tapes and the conducive business environment preview Dubai as a global magnet in investments.
Further, the purchasers of property have safeguards like account escrow and open sales activities followed by Dubai Land Department (DLD) and RERA.
