Dubai real estate recovers on safe haven status, Indians main buyers

DUBAI/LONDON: For a key to the recovery of Dubai's real estate market, one need look no further than the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, which rises out of the desert floor of the city's gleaming downtown area.
For the Indian buyers, Dubai property is a refuge from currency depeciation that has taken the Indian rupee down about 20 per cent against the US dollar since the third quarter of 2011. For the Iranians, Dubai provides a safe place to park money as international sanctions, imposed over Tehran's disputed nuclear programme, ravage the Iranian economy.
