Shares in Dubai rose on Sunday, as investors took heart from rising oil prices.
Brent crude futures soared 6.37 per cent on Friday to the year’s high of $41.94, thanks to falling US stockpiles and lower Russian production.
The Dubai Financial Market General Index rose 1.4 per cent to 3,433.69.
Emaar Properties gained 2.1 per cent to Dh6.15, after the developer unveiled plans for the construction of $1 billion skyscraper, “a notch taller” than Burj Khalifa, within its Dubai Creek Harbour project.
Emaar’s announcement provided a boon for real estate and construction stocks. Cooling provider Tabreed rose by 6.8 per cent to Dh1.40, while Deyaar Properties and Arabtec Holding rose by 4.8 per cent and 4 per cent respectively.
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange General Index rose by 0.6 per cent to 4,380.63, on the bourse’s busiest trading day in nearly 12 months.
Dana Gas and Eshraq Properties dominated trading, with the stocks climbing 11.1 per cent and 8.8 per cent.
Manazel Real Estate rose by 1.5 per cent to 64 fils, after the developer said it would launch Manazel Amman, a mixed-used development in Jordan’s capital, at this week’s Cityscape Abu Dhabi exhibition.

BOSH!'s pantry essentials
Nutritional yeast
This is Firth's pick and an ingredient he says, "gives you an instant cheesy flavour". He advises making your own cream cheese with it or simply using it to whip up a mac and cheese or wholesome lasagne. It's available in organic and specialist grocery stores across the UAE.
Seeds
"We've got a big jar of mixed seeds in our kitchen," Theasby explains. "That's what you use to make a bolognese or pie or salad: just grab a handful of seeds and sprinkle them over the top. It's a really good way to make sure you're getting your omegas."
Umami flavours
"I could say soya sauce, but I'll say all umami-makers and have them in the same batch," says Firth. He suggests having items such as Marmite, balsamic vinegar and other general, dark, umami-tasting products in your cupboard "to make your bolognese a little bit more 'umptious'".
Onions and garlic
"If you've got them, you can cook basically anything from that base," says Theasby. "These ingredients are so prevalent in every world cuisine and if you've got them in your cupboard, then you know you've got the foundation of a really nice meal."
Your grain of choice
Whether rice, quinoa, pasta or buckwheat, Firth advises always having a stock of your favourite grains in the cupboard. "That you, you have an instant meal and all you have to do is just chuck a bit of veg in."
