You can purchase property in Dubai, but you will not be entilteld for a permanent residency visa. Right now you would get a residency visa, but on this visa you are not allowed to work. Regarding the news paper article giving below, this via rule should change:

To buy property in Dubai or AbuDhabi you need a registered developer who takes care of all necessary steps. But you still have to be aware that law in the UAE can change real fast without prior notice.
