What are the up-and-coming areas to invest in Dubai?

Frequently cited emerging areas include Dubai South (driven by the Al Maktoum Airport expansion and Expo City), Arjan, the wider Dubailand corridor and, for waterfront growth, Dubai Creek Harbour. These offer lower entry prices with gross yields often around 6-8.5%. 'Emerging' also means more construction, phased infrastructure and supply risk, so timing and developer track record matter.
