Accommodation in Dubai

The cost of living in Dubai can be high due to the cost of housing, although it is a tax free environment, make sure you have the salary to cover your costs.

It is confirmed that you cannot have your own flat here in the UAE if your salary is around 2500-6000 Aed.

There are some areas where you can share your flat/room with your colleagues or friends. Your accommodation cost could be around 600-800Aed but it depends on the area where you live and also the numbers of people live in a flat.

There are several popular places for average class workers here in the UAE. The Following figures are approximate but very close to the reality,

Area                                Rent-per month

             Deira                                          3500 Aed

            Satwa                                         4500  Aed

            Rashidiya                                   4000 Aed

           International City                       4000 Aed

           Bur Dubai                                   4000 Aed

          Al Quaiz                                      4500 Aed

For example, if someone wants to live in Deira, he has to share 3500Aed with his colleagues.

3500/2=1700Aed

3500/3=1166Aed

3500/4=875Aed

3500/5=700Aed

Therefore, the more you live in a flat the less you will pay. The same formula implements in the other places you want to live in.
