What does a one-bedroom rent for in Dubai?

By size, registered rental contracts in Dubai come out at Studio: AED 83, 1 B/R: AED 64, 2 B/R: AED 57, 3 B/R: AED 55. These are medians of real registered rental contracts, so they move as the market moves.

Which areas of Dubai have the most rental contracts?

By registered volume: Al Warsan First (370,911), Jabal Ali First (321,186), Business Bay (285,179), Al Karama (259,474), Naif (258,707). Volume is not the same as value, and a busy area is usually one with a lot of apartment stock rather than the most expensive one.

Where does this Dubai rental data come from?

Every rental contract on this page is a record registered with the Dubai Land Department. We remove clear outliers and duplicate registrations, so totals can differ slightly from the raw DLD file. We publish no estimates and no asking prices, only deals that completed and were registered.
