Below my contact details+971553523125info@alessandroderubertis.comDubai's property market needs an increase of 10-20% in supply to help control the rise in rents and improve affordability, according to a leading industry figure.Rental prices have been climbing consistently in recent years, fueled by high demand from both property buyers and tenants. As reported by Khaleej Times, major developers are selling their inventories within hours, while smaller developers are also quickly selling out, highlighting the imbalance between supply and demand.During the first eight months of this year, around 86,000 off-plan properties were launched, with an additional 35,000 to 40,000 expected to enter the market in the final four months, bringing the total to 126,000 by year's end, as per Cavendish Maxwell's Property Monitor report.While this influx of new units is expected to enter the market in the coming years and may help alleviate rising rental and property prices, experts caution that the current undersupply means it could still take several years for the supply-demand equilibrium to be restored.Source: https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/realty/dubai-property-market-needs-up-to-20-extra-supply-to-control-rising-rents

Om Shahad som flydde från sin familj i Saudiarabien och prinsessan som försökte lämna sin på ytan glamorösa tillvaro i Dubai. Om platser som vill framstå som moderna och öppna men där uråldriga kvinnoförtryck är inskrivna i lagar. En natt för två år sedan under en semesterresa till Turkiet tog saudiska Shahad al-Mohaimeed, som hon numera kallar sig, familjens pass, pengar och mobiltelefoner och flydde i en taxi till grannlandet Georgien. Där fick hon hjälp att söka asyl och hamnade till sist i Sverige. För Konflikts Ivar Ekman berättar hon om sin egen flykt och tillvaron som ung kvinna i Saudiarabien, men också om hur hon hjälpte Rahaf, den saudiska kvinna som i slutet av förra året blev en världsnyhet när hon låste in sig på ett hotell i Bangkok för att fly från sin familj. Saudiarabiens de facto-ledare, kronprinsen Mohammed Bin Salman, har intensivt försökt odla en bild av att landet genomgår viktiga reformer, bland annat genom beskedet i somras att kvinnor ska få börja köra bil. Men samtidigt nyttjas de lagar som strikt reglerar vad en kvinna får och inte får göra.   Hör Loujain el-Hathloul, en av den saudiska kvinnokampens verkliga förgrundsgestalter. När vår Mellanösternkorrespondent Cecilia Uddén och Sveriges Radios dåvarande korrespondenttrainee Nivette Dawod  träffade Loujain för tre år sedan hade hon just suttit i fängelse efter att ha begått brottet att köra bil som kvinna. Då var hon ändå hoppfull om att Saudiarabien var på väg åt rätt håll, nu sitter hon i fängelse på nytt.  Ett annat land som arbetar intensivt med att odla sin image som ett modernt och framgångsrikt land är Förenade Arabemiraten. Och det är också en plats som är betydligt mer öppen och tolerant än exempelvis grannlandet Saudiarabien. Kvinnor kör bil, gör karriär och måste inte bära slöja. Men det är en diktatur med stora klassklyftor, där vissa brott kan leda till dödsstraff och där uråldriga lagar kring äktenskap fortfarande gäller. Konflikts Sally Henriksson reste till nöjesmeckat Dubai som med sina skinande skyskrapor lockar såväl turister som karriärsdrivna västerlänningar. Men som också är den plats som en prinsessa försökte fly från, trots hennes till ytan glamorösa tillvaro som dotter till Dubais mäktigaste - emiren Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. Hör bland andra Mustafa al-Zarooni, Förenade arabemiraten-redaktör på en av de största dagstidningar, Khaleej Times, och ordförande för landets journalistförbund. Och journalisten Margaret Coker, tidigare medarbetare för New York Times, som bor i Dubai. Prinsessan Latifa tycktes i mångas ögon ha allt, ett både rikt och spännande liv. Hon hoppade fallskärm och roade sig på olika sätt. Men i hemlighet planerade hon under många år sin flykt. För ett år sedan gav hon sig iväg med hjälp av bland andra sin finska vän Tiina Jauhiainen, men de stoppades på internationellt vatten och hämtades tillbaka till Dubai. Första livstecknet från Latifa kom i december förra året när bilder kablades ut på henne tillsammans med Mary Robinson, som tidigare arbetat med mänkliga rättigheter för FN, som intygade att hon har det bra under "familjens kärleksfulla omsorg".  Konflikts Anna Roxvall intervjuar Tiina Jauhiainen, och berättar historien om prinsessan Latifa och hennes flyktförsök.
