According to industry leaders, international real estate could potentially be the best way for people to invest their money, and the word is getting around. Consequently, many are looking outside of their borders for investment properties. The Middle-East is on some buyers' radars due to the area's growth opportunities. 

Recently, TehranTimes put together a list of top property portals in the United Arab Emirates which could assist its readers and potential investors in making an educated decision about properties, the neighborhoods they were located in, price range, and everything else associated with the process of purchasing an investment property.

Dobira lists ready-made properties and offers presale projects in Dubai as well as other Middle-Eastern countries. With a presence in the UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, the portal is available in three languages, English, Arabic, and Turkish. Dobira's listings are free, but the portal generates revenue via banner ads, video clip space, hot deal tags, and featured presale projects. The portal lists properties in 11 currencies, including the UAE Dirham, Saudi Rial, Turkish Lira, Kuwait Dinar, Oman Rial, Bahrain Dinar, USA Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar, and Chinese Yuan.

PropertyFinder owns and operates real estate portals across the Middle East and North Africa: the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar. PropertyFinder is available in English and Arabic, and it provides users with search facilities covering residential and commercial properties for rent or for sale, real estate news, home advice, and buying and selling guides.

The online marketplace, Dubizzle, enables individuals to sell or buy everything from property, to mobile phones, but users can also search for jobs, business classifieds, consumer classifieds, and community. Dubizzle only operates in Dubai and is available in English and Arabic.

The property portal operates in all seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah). Since its launch, Bayut has gained solid ground in the UAE's online real estate space. Its website is in English and Arabic, it converts property prices into UAE Dirham, US Dollars, Euro, British Pound, India Rupee, Russian Ruble, Pakistan Rupee. The website includes an area guide and blogs which provide good information about the area of interest.
