Dubai’s big real estate company Emaar Properties has clarified that despite the ongoing tension in the area, all its work is going on normally. Company founder Mohamed Alabbar has assured residents and investors that all facilities and services in malls, hotels and residential colonies will continue as before. The main objective of this statement issued on March 4, 2026 is to maintain stability in the market and remove fear from the minds of people.
What is the current state of the services and market in Dubai?
Emaar has informed that all its shopping centers and hotels including The Dubai Mall are working as per their schedule. Right now the month of Ramadan is going on, so malls will remain open from 10 am to 11 pm or midnight. Along with this, the stock markets of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have reopened on March 4 after a two-day holiday. To prevent huge fluctuations in the stock market, the regulator has reduced the drawdown limit from 10 percent to 5 percent so that investors’ money remains safe.

The UAE Ministry of Interior and National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) have advised people to continue their normal activities. However, in view of the current situation, it has been asked to exercise caution and trust only government news.
