Across the GCC, waterfront development is becoming one of the defining forces shaping the region’s next generation of real estate and tourism destinations.
In this Property News International feature, we look at major coastal developments across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, including Palm Jebel Ali, Hudayriyat Island, Al Marjan Island, Hawana Salalah, Jebel Sifah, and new destinations emerging along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast.

The result is a growing race to transform coastlines and islands into new centers for living, tourism, hospitality, and investment across the GCC.
Watch the full video to explore some of the major waterfront destinations helping reshape the region’s real estate landscape.
