The 'Dubai dream' has been sold to thousands of Brits by celebrities and influencers alike - from Katie Price's new husband to the Ferdinands.
But the reality of what you can get for your buck in the Emirate state might shock you.
Although the country might be still catching stray drones from the Middle East conflict, houses in the Dubai Marina and other notable postcodes could still cost you not just tens of millions, but hundreds of millions.
Indeed, the war in the Middle East has not stopped estate agents from pricing mansions and penthouses in the nine-figure price point, despite initial reports that Dubai's property bubble had burst.
Now, properties are returning to the market at prices which some might find laughable once they see the interiors.
One such property includes a four-bed, terraced house with no visible garden or outdoor space.
It has a modest three bathrooms, a 'balcony' area which leads out onto a small paved enclosure, and arguably dingy rooms with some slanted roofing.
But the property, situated on a plot of 1,550 square feet, was put on the market for £62,717,823.

The fake wooden floors and small kitchen make the price arguably steep, but the postcode is the giveaway, as the property is situated in the heart of the Dubai Marina.
Another property, which looks fresh out of the year 3000, is asking a humble £151,336,352 for a seven-bedroom penthouse in Dubai's Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences.
With panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa and a private indoor sky pool suspended above the city, the listing describes the property as being 'conceived for the world's most discerning collectors of rare real estate'.
Yet another, listed on Rightmove for a cool £122,400,000, was an eight-bedroom penthouse at Raffles The Palm Dubai in Palm Jumeirah.
The glitzy monochrome property featured a 'meditation garden', a cryotherapy chamber, and a private cinema - indoor and outdoor.
Even the celebrity British expats seeking properties in Dubai would not be able to glimpse at such properties.
A sweep of property websites including Rightmove and Zoopla show that Dubai's mega-rich market appears to still be booming - despite the nation facing geopolitical security threats.
But given the price that the properties are listed for, it begs the question of who ends up buying them?

Or are the futuristic listings, many of which simply show imagined interiors based on drawings or what appear to be AI images, simply another propaganda ploy by the Dubai government to show that everything is back to normal?
Few of the listings are ever advertised currently as 'sold' and the property listed for £62million spotted by the Daily Mail has since been taken off the market.
The apparently booming property market follows the revelation that Dubai's government was fining influencers for posting about the Iran conflict or anything that could threaten 'national unity'.
In March, mansions in the drone and missile-hit Arab state dropped in asking price by around 25 per cent.
Many British influencer expats forced to flee left behind their property portfolios and lost out by selling them.
Former Love Island and Geordie Shore reality TV star Sam Gowland, 30, was one British expat who likely lost out, as he put a luxury villa he had bought for around £1.5million and spent months renovating on sale just before the war.
Mr Gowland listed the luxury villa for offers above £2million as he fled to Thailand.
But after spending around four months and substantial amounts renovating it before listing it, he likely lost out on around £500,000.
Price trackers showed villas in the nation dropping in price since March, with one villa on the Lanai Island region of Dubai shaving £2.3million off its original asking price of £22million.
It comes as new research showed that overall transactions within Dubai's once-booming property market were down by more than 50 per cent in March.
Expats who had bought up properties across the UAE in the hopes of raking in millions are now in limbo, unable to sell their expensive villas as missiles and drones continue to be fired into the country by Iran.
Research conducted by Goldman Sachs now shows that transactions at the beginning of March are down 31 per cent compared with last year and 51 per cent compared with last month.
