0% tax on rental income, Golden Visa, USD-pegged returns

Dubai combines zero income tax on rental yields, the 10-year Golden Visa (from AED 2M / ~€500K), a USD-pegged currency, and one of the world's highest-yielding institutional-grade rental markets. Freehold zones like Downtown, Marina and Business Bay are the core institutional plays.
