Nakheel promotes iconic projects at inaugural Dubai Property Show in London

The Show, organised by DSL Exhibitions, will bring together Dubai's leading property developers and agents for the first time in the British capital. The UK is the most buoyant European market for Dubai both in terms of tourism visitor figures, with 650,000 long stay British visitors to Dubai in 2004, and more than 25% of buyers on Nakheel's signature development, The Palm Jumeirah, being British.

The event is being supported by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing who will be running presentations promoting the lifestyle and business opportunities in Dubai.

Concentrating on promoting the Nakheel brand and its portfolio of 14 major developments, Nakheel will also be specifically showcasing The Palm Jumeirah, with a particular focus on The Palm Jumeirah's 25 luxury hotel brands, Dubai Waterfront and Jumeirah Golf Estates. Nakheel will also welcome a special guest to their stand at the show: Hammasa Kohistani, who earned the title of Miss England in 2005. Hammasa speaks six languages, and perfectly represents Dubai's vibrant, cosmopolitan and outward looking nature.

James Wilson, Nakheel Chief Executive said:

"The British market has been an absolutely key market for Nakheel; our most vibrant market in Europe. Attracted by exceptional properties in outstanding and unique locations, the British market has responded very well to what Dubai has to offer - fine climate and beaches, excellent shopping, a diverse range of cuisines, and first class leisure facilities, all within a tax free environment. Dubai's reputation for providing good value investment opportunities and a high quality lifestyle is well deserved. More specifically, iconic and innovative projects like The Palm - the world's three largest man-made islands - capture people's imagination from all over the world."

"This is why events like the Dubai Property Show are so important to Nakheel - it gives us a chance to further solidify our presence in the British market. There are many people internationally who have heard of The Palm and The World but who want to find out more - and the Dubai Property Show is a perfect platform to do this."

Mike Bridge, Regional Sales Director of DSL Exhibitions said, "This will be the first time that well-known Dubai agents and developers will be showing collectively, exclusively under one roof, at a London venue. Dubai is a highly sought-after investment opportunity. Recent official estimates suggest that 2.3 million British travellers flew to Dubai in 2004, with many of them taking advantage of the booming real estate in the city. The Dubai Property Show will cater to this emerging market."
