Apartments..
Close to Dubai Internet City, eh?
Locations Al Barsha, The Gardens, Greens :
The price will range 25 - 35 thousands dhs per year for studios and 1 bedroom apartments...
You can also share a villa in Jumeira for a similar price.
The cost of living... hm.. It depends..
If you cook at home and don't go to parties too often it's much cheaper.
I usually spend about 2000 dhs per month on all my needs.
And I don't need too much..
Having a valid driving license here is a must... overwise you will spend a lot on taxies or you will have to use busses wich is not cool at all, especially in the summer when it's hot and humid.
Tell me if it helps..
