Gulf Property

Gulf Property is among the UAE’s premier monthly business magazine that covers news primarily related to real estate, construction, tourism and related issues.

We are proudly operating in the Tenth year of publication. Among the magazine’s distinct achievements is the fact that the management continued with its publication during the difficult days of the economic recession in 2008; a period when most other publications had either halted publication or were curtailing circulations.

While initially, the magazine focussed on the industry leaders – namely developers, contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and brokers, it eventually transformed into a mass-circulated publication for the entire industry.
