The full explanation

In specific areas determined by the Ruler, Non-UAE Nationals are granted the right to acquire freehold ownership of real property without any time restrictions. Alternatively, they may acquire usufruct or lease rights for a term of up to ninety-nine (99) years.

The DLD maintains precise plans showing these designated areas where foreign ownership is legally permitted and registered.
