Regulations in Saudi Arabia allow expatriates to own homes or other properties for investment but they must pay a tax estimated at 10 percent of the property's value. Expats from the Gulf countries such as Palestine, Leba**n and Syria in particular are interested in buying housing units in the Kingdom in the form of houses or real estate to ensure a more stable future. According to Saudi Arabia's foreign investment regulations, an expatriate who is licensed to practice a business or a profession is entitled to own the property for residential purposes or to practice their business or profession.
