Who Al Rigga suits: and who it doesn't

Rigga is where central Dubai rents before it buys. The blocks are older and hand-held by long-term owners, so the register shows rents, not sales. We track those rents because they price the whole Deira market, and because Rigga tenants become buyers somewhere: usually Al Jaddaf, Maritime City or International City. , Equity Edge analyst note

Where Al Rigga sits

Al Rigga is Deira’s high street and its busiest residential pocket, strung along the metro’s red line with hotels, restaurants and apartment blocks sharing the same few streets. The market here is tenancy: thousands of contracts a year, no open freehold sales.
