• 2026 market built on REAL demand — long-term visas, golden visas, actual residents
• Experts say Dubai approaches 2026 from genuine underlying demand, not hype

⚡ Is Dubai's "Safe Haven" Status Under Threat?
The Iran conflict raises a big question 🏦
📊 The concern:
• Dubai is just 150km across the Gulf from Iran
• Billionaire investors are watching closely — some reviewing contingency plans
• Reuters reports perceptions of Dubai's safety being "tested"
📊 The reality:
• UAE has stayed neutral, maintaining diplomatic channels with ALL sides
• Dubai's diversified economy is NOT oil-dependent like neighbors
• Golden visa program continues to attract long-term residents
• No direct threats to UAE territory so far
💡 Bottom line: nervous, but not panicking. Yet
