Seven projects, four countries: Mapping Trump’s Gulf property empire
From an 80-storey tower on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road to golf resorts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman, the Trump name is appearing on a growing number of high-profile developments in the Gulf. The Trump Organisation now has six projects worth billions of dollars under development across four Gulf countries, as the US President’s brand expands its presence in one of the world’s most lucrative…
The Trump Organisation has established a significant presence in the Gulf region, with six high-profile projects currently under development across four countries: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman. The company, which completed its first Gulf project, Trump International Golf Club in Dubai, with UAE developer Damac in 2017, is now partnering with Dar Global, the international property arm of Saudi Arabia-listed Dar Al Arkan, to bring its projects to life.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organisation, claimed that the region is eager to embrace their family and projects, noting that they were one of the first western brands to venture into Dubai. The Trump Organisation has been involved in three projects in Saudi Arabia, including golf courses, international hotels, and premium residences in Jeddah and Riyadh, with completion expected between 2029 and 2030.
In Qatar, the Trump Organisation launched a development in Doha, covering 790,000 square meters within the Simaisma development. The 18-hole Trump International Golf Course, Trump Golf Clubhouse, and branded villas are set to enhance the eight million-square-meter property. Last year, the company earned $5.25 million in licensing fees from this project and another $5.25 million in projected earnings from the upcoming Doha golf club and resort.
The Trump Organisation's footprint in Oman is also growing, with a resort in Muscat that includes villas, a hotel, and a golf course. In the UAE, a $1 billion Trump Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road is under construction, featuring 500 homes, an 80-storey development, a Trump-branded hotel, and an exclusive private members club.
The Trump Organisation's activity in the Gulf region is driving strong financial returns, with Dar Global reporting a surge in net profit and revenue in 2025, totaling $100.8 million and $538.6 million, respectively. The global expansion is expanding Trump Organisation's revenue, with the US President reporting $38 million in licensing fees from projects in Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE in a recent financial disclosure.
