What do I need to know about settling in Dubai as a newcomer?

Settling in Dubai requires a bit of preparation, particularly regarding housing, transportation, and local regulations. As someone who moved here in 2022, I recommend finding accommodation through sites like Property Finder or Dubizzle, where prices for a one-bedroom apartment range from AED 3,000 to AED 6,000 per month in Dubai Marina. Important: don’t forget to set up your DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) account as soon as you move in!
