How much should I budget for rent in Dubai 2023?

In 2023, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai ranges from AED 5,000 to AED 12,000 per month depending on the area. As someone who moved to Dubai last year, I found that areas like JVC and Marina have significant price differences, with JVC generally being more affordable. When budgeting, consider additional costs like utilities and community fees, which may also apply.
