The Brazilian Investor in Dubai

Brazilians moved US$ 1.5 billion to Dubai with real estate as the primary destination (Forbes Brasil, November 2025) — yet Brazil is not yet in the official top-10 buyer ranking published by the Dubai Land Department.

Top 10 official buyers in Dubai H1 2026: India (20.6%), UK (13.3%), Egypt (12.6%), USA (9.0%), Pakistan (6.9%), Saudi Arabia (5.7%), Australia (5.7%), Germany (4.2%), France (3.8%), Canada (3.0%). Brazil: not yet in top 10. Source: DXBinteract / Harbor Real Estate via Khaleej Times.

This is a measurement problem: Brazilian buyers often purchase through UAE-registered companies or via intermediaries, which may not be captured in nationality-level statistics.
