How long does it take to buy a new property in Dubai? How long do I have to book my arrival for?

The entire process of buying a property in Dubai can take from 6 to 12 weeks. It is recommended to schedule a visit of 1-2 weeks for the initial stages, such as property selection and negotiation, and possibly a second, shorter visit for finalizing the transaction and paperwork. However, many of the stages can be done remotely, which can reduce the time needed in Dubai.
