Whether you’re a newbie in Dubai, a longtime resident, or simply curious about the city’s rental scene, here’s the scoop: Rents in Dubai dipped by 21% during the third quarter of 2023…

EDIT: Allsopp & Allsopp added this clarification on rental prices decreasing. “The average price for a rental contract has dipped because there was an increased number of Allsopp & Allsopp rental contracts in suburban locations (higher number of contacts at lower annual prices) vs prime locations (lower number of contracts at higher annual prices).”
