Dusam,
Both the Accord and Altima would fit your budget. Even the Nissan Maxima or Toyota camry would fit in that budget and fall into similar range of vehicles. Resale wise Camry, followed by the Accord/Altima.
If you're into safety, maybe a 'larger' vehicle like a 4x4 would be worth looking into. The Mitsu Pajero is probably the only that fit/comes close to budget among the known ones. They have always some good warranty/service deals going on.
Another alternative is to go second-hand, and then worth looking into a 2-3 year old Audi A6/A8 or BMW 3/5 series. Sometimes you can find gems for under 100k, specially in Audi (as the price depreciates really fast here). Here, you get a lot of car for your dirhams. But at same time you will lose more while selling.
If you want to stay safe, buy new, and if I was in your position, I would go with Accord V6. I like Hondas and their comfort and reliability. Less bling factor, but hey, its a good reliable ride.
Not sure if I confused you more
