Property stocks led Dubai Financial Market index to a year-to-date high on Monday following a four-day holiday last week.

Dubai's main share index, DFMGI, rose to 3878.52, the highest the index has notched since 2015, driven by a 10% jump in Union Properties and a 9% gain in Emaar Development, the build-to-sell property development business of Emaar Properties.
