#WhatsHappeningInDubai
About

Numbers over noise.

#WhatsHappeningInDubai started as a way to answer a simple question people kept asking: what's actually going on here? It's now a weekly, source-cited read on the Dubai property market for people deciding where to put capital.

Who's behind this

Muhammed Shabbir Mandvawala

With close to 20 years of combined investment and brokerage experience across the Dubai market, Muhammed Shabbir Mandvawala works as an investor specialist focused on genuine value addition — not just closing deals, but strengthening the portfolios behind them. That experience spans the full developer landscape, from Tier 1 names like Emaar and Dubai Holding to Tier 2 and 3 developers including Expo City, giving a clearer, less biased read on where the real opportunities sit. #WhatsHappeningInDubai is a natural extension of that same approach — tracking the market with the same rigor, made public, every week, and now with a dedicated focus on The Oasis by Emaar as one of the market's most significant ongoing launches.

Why this exists

Why weekly, why public

Most market commentary is either a sales pitch or a headline with no numbers behind it. This is neither. Every pulse post is built from Dubai Land Department transaction data, published on the same schedule, with the same structure, so you can track how the market is actually moving over time — not just how it feels in any given week.

No listings here, no pressure to buy anything. If the data eventually leads to a conversation about your own move in the market, that's a bonus — not the point of the page.

Get the pulse in your inbox — every week, one email, no noise.
