Dubai is expensive. Dubai is cheap. Both are true depending on what you’re buying. 👇
Petrol, taxis, eating out, gold, genuinely cheap. No tax on gold purchases. The City of Gold nickname is literal.
Alcohol, school fees, rent, that’s where it stings.
And rent is the one that matters most right now. Some areas have doubled in three years. Your mortgage payment on a property you bought three years ago hasn’t moved.
That gap, between what renters are paying now and what owners locked in then is the whole argument for owning in Dubai.
You’re paying someone’s mortgage either way. Might as well be yours. 📍
