Get one-bedroom apartments in Dubai for as low as Dh20,000

Rents in Dubai have been consistently falling over the past few years due to oversupply in the market. Data showed that rents dropped as high as 17 per cent in some areas of Dubai in the third-quarter alone.

Industry analysts and executives are predicting a further drop in rentals in 2020 and 2021 as oversupply will keep the rentals under pressure and make it a tenant-friendly market.

Rents for a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai start at Dh20,000 in the ‘Old Dubai’ area and go as high as Dh110,000.
