Common questions

It depends on your situation, but most people underestimate the upfront costs. Beyond flights and shipping, you'll need a security deposit (usually 5% of annual rent), agency fees, DEWA deposit, Ejari registration, and initial furnishing. For a single person, expect AED 15,000–40,000. For a family, it can be AED 80,000–200,000+. Our guide gives you the exact number for your case.
