Al Satwa, year by year
How prices, sales, rents and yield have moved here, each year against the one before.
The median price per square foot rose to AED 2,350 / sq ft in Q2 2026, up 21% on the same quarter a year earlier.
What this means for you: rising prices with steady yield suggest rents are keeping pace; prices rising faster than rents mean yield is thinning. Past movement is a record, not a forecast.
