    Why is having a closed kitchen important for resale value in Dubai

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    In the Dubai market specifically among Arab and South Asian families there is a strong cultural preference for closed kitchens to keep cooking odors separate from the living area. Properties with closed kitchens or at least the option to close them tend to rent faster and sell for a higher price to end users. Investors should prioritize layouts that offer this flexibility rather than purely open plan western style kitchens which limit the target tenant pool.
