DUBAI — Donald Trump plans to extend his golfing empire to the Middle East, opening a course in the desert outskirts of Dubai in the latest sign the emirate’s crisis-hit property market is recovering. The Trump International Golf Club will be the centerpiece of a 28 million foot project being developed by DAMAC Properties that includes a luxury residential community, hotels, spa and international schools. It is being developed on land purchased from Dubailand, a project that included a $1b Tiger Woods golfing estate. That project was shelved due to the economic downturn. Trump has 14 award-winning courses under its ownership and management across the world. — AP
