The 21st edition of the International Property Show sees representation from 85 countries and introduces bold initiatives aligned with Dubai’s Real Estate Strategy 2033.

His Excellency Eng. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, Director General of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), officially inaugurated the 21st edition of the International Property Show (IPS 2025) at the Dubai World Trade Centre today.
