On April 17, 2025, Tariq Zekra made history as Forbes Middle East — one of the world’s most authoritative business and finance platforms — named him the Most Influential Real Estate Broker in Abu Dhabi Market.

This recognition is not just a personal milestone. It is a testament to 25 years of unwavering dedication to Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector, to Emirati branding, and to the thousands of buyers, investors, and families Tariq has guided through their property journey in the UAE.

As the official representative of Abu Dhabi’s property sector, Tariq appeared at the Forbes ONE Development: Building the Future Summit — a gathering of the region’s most visionary leaders in business, real estate, and investment. He received a Certificate of Appreciation alongside recognition as a Social Impact Guest — honoring not just his sales achievements, but his broader mission of putting Abu Dhabi on the global real estate map.
