Due to the relocation of thousands of millionaires into Dubai in 2023 and 2024, the demand for ultra-luxury cars in the country is expected to increase. With the upcoming auction of some of the world’s rarest supercars in Dubai, the country is set to further cement its position as one of the top luxury car markets in the world.
