I know everybody's asking the same questions, but I hope someone out there can help me! I'm going to Dubai in September for 3 months and need a flat or some kind of accomodation for that time. I'm working on the Sheikh Rashid road not far from the Creekside Park and the Wafi buildings. Does anybody know of any accomodation around there? I've been told I should expect to pay about AED 10,000 for 3 months. Is this about right?

Hopeful thanks!

Thanks for replying!

I'm not really very fussed about what kind of accomodation I have. An apartment or a flat would probably be the best thing. It's just me going and I don't need much space or a huge amount of luxury. My only main requirement is that it's within reach of the area I described in the last posting. Many thanks for those websites, I'll have a browse now.

Are you a Chick or a stinky dirty hairy Men?

If you are a chick u cant live with a guy!

I am a man!, but neither stinky nor dirty! I had in mind to have a place to myself in any case.

Something to bear in mind - quite often when renting places over here, you will have to pay 6 months rent in advance (ie - 2 cheques for the year). Occasionally the landlord may want 1 cheque - if you can do this, then you can often bargain the price down quite substantially (AED 5-10,000). Estate agent fee is normally 5%, then there is usually a refundable security deposit - probably in the region of around AED5,000.

He can;t rent through any real estate unless a guy or a person offers him a place. He does not have a residence visa.

I misread his original post. However, some of the websites should have details of hotel apartments.

Dolamore

The Hotel Apartment idea is one that I've finally chosen to go for. I'll be in Bur Dubai. A good area?

The area isn't the most picturesque to say the least. However, almost everything is within 20mins drive - airport, shops, bars etc. It is possibly one of the most convenient places to live in Dubai - I lived there for a year, am now in the process of moving to a different part of Dubai.

Its a very good area... there are a lot of Russian prostitutes in this area! r u going to Golden/silver sands? i think u r. You will not have problems finding sex.

Enjoy your Trip To this Rising Land. Dont forget to go to Mdinat As Salam. its a must go place and Shindaga heritage vilage.
