The ranking keeps the listed areas and market evidence from the published guide. It is a comparison of recorded indicators, not a forecast; brand and area names remain as published.

#1 Dubai Hills Estate: AED 2,293/sqft, 6.2% to 6.5% gross on a 1-bedroom.

#2 Arabian Ranches: 3-bedroom villa median AED 3.96M. Gated villa community.

#3 JVC: AED 1,364/sqft, 7.7% gross on a 1-bedroom.

#4 Dubai Marina: AED 1,784/sqft, 7.2% gross on a 1-bedroom.

#5 JVT: AED 1,536/sqft.

#6 Motor City: AED 1,865/sqft.

How we compute it: gross yield = Bayut average annual rent, H1 2026, over the DLD median price, the same figure each area guide prints.

Use the recorded indicators as a comparison point. The table shows a metric only where that field is present for the relevant area; it does not estimate a missing figure.
