(DUBAI, UAE) - For those interested in buying real estate, Dubai is a year round shopping festival, and what's on offer is around the world as well as in the Middle East. At the recent Worldwide Property Show, agents showed off Donald Trump's Ocean Club in Panama City to top level potential buyers.

The magic of the Trump name has already sold many of the residential units.

The Club is based in a 70-story tower with everything needed for work and play, including hotel condominiums, restaurants, shops, spa, business center, and, as is often the case with Trump properties, a casino. The project is estimated at $400 million and according to the website has the financing needed to complete.

Americans and Europeans have discovered Panama where prices are still considerably cheaper than in their home countries. International brokers are betting that Middle East buyers will be the next to discover Panama.
