Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

Hello ... My husband might be getting an offer of employment in Dubai. We dont know the salary offer yet, but we do know he will get 75,000 a year for accomodations. Can you tell me what that will get us? We would like a villa/house type situation (2 bed / 2 bath).

Are places on the internet I can look at for accomodations - or do I need to wait until we get to Dubai?

Any good or bad areas of town?

Any other adivce would be great! I am really nervous, but excited.
Thank you!

Hi,

though iam not yet in Dubai, i will moving there soon. I have visited Dubai many times and have done some ''investigation'' about Houisng issues. With 75.000 a year you can expect a very good housing indeed. The most prestigous areas are located south to the Creek: Jumeira, Um Suqqeim and some areas in Bur Dubai. The important question is where work/office is located as to see how long you need to commute/ like to spend on the road.
In Jumeira/ Um Suqqeuim you can find small nice villas for such budget. Especially the southern part of Um Suqqeim (about 2-3 Miles to the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel) is very nice and not so congusted like jumeira beach. If you opt for a flat then i would suggest areas close to Sheikh Zayed Road (10/15 Minute drive from/to Jumeira and Um Suqeim). With this budget you can get a lavish 2 or 2,5 B/R Appartment with some facilities like Swimming Pool and GYM.
