My London Visit, Dubai Tourism Surge, and Something New

Hi,

Welcome to the new home of the Jaafri Journal 👋🏽

If you’ve made the move from LinkedIn - thank you.

The newsletter grew to over 1,000 subscribers within a month there and I’m excited to take things to the next level here.

This is where I’ll be sharing the full, unfiltered editions - along with bonus content, exclusive downloads, and early access to new tools and services.

Let’s dive in 👇🏽

I'm coming to London 🇬🇧

(If you’re not interested in a career in Dubai Real Estate, feel free to skip this part.)

On the 16th & 17th of August, the One Investments team and I will be in London and we’re looking for driven, ambitious people who are ready to transform their lives with a career in Dubai’s booming real estate market.

You’ll meet the team in person, hear directly from agents who’ve made the move from London to Dubai and many of them are now earning multiple six figures per year, tax-free.

To give you some perspective:
💰 Dubai real estate brokers earned over £650 million in commission in just the first half of this year.

The opportunity is huge. If you’ve got what it takes you can register below.

Dubai tourism and what it means for investors 📈

In the first half of 2025 alone, Dubai welcomed 9.88 million international overnight visitors - up 6% from last year.

Hotels in Dubai are running at an 80.6% average occupancy - one of the highest rates in the world.


What does this mean for Investors? 👈🏽

When hotels are that full, short-term rentals benefit too. Whether it’s business travellers or families demand for well-located, furnished properties stays strong all year round.

Rates are climbing too. Average daily rates in hotels are up 5% year-on-year, and short-term rentals in prime locations can match - or even beat - those figures.

Visitors are coming from across Western Europe, the GCC, South Asia, the Americas, and beyond. That diversity gives Dubai’s tourism and by extension, its rental market - a resilience that few cities can match.

More visitors → higher occupancy → stronger returns.

QUICK UPDATE: For those of you who've been reading this newsletter for a while you'll know it's mostly been Dubai real estate and market news. Over time though, I’ve wanted this to feel more useful. Less surface-level updates, more real value you can actually take something from. At the same time, a lot’s been happening inside the business. Over the last few months, we’ve grown our media team quite a bit. Not to pump out more corporate content, but to give every agent in the company access to...

JAAFRI JOURNAL ISSUE #10 Happy New Year!↓ Hey folks 👋🏽 HAPPY NEW YEAR! Reflecting back on 2025 💭 I ticked off a few bucket-list moments and closed the year celebrating a friend’s wedding. Some reflections and notes to self from the year: Problems don’t go away. They just change. You don’t wake up one day with 0 problems. Learn to deal with them better instead of wishing they’d disappear. Nobody cares as much as you do. Stop overthinking every move. Most people are too busy worrying about...
