Dubai apartment

Hi guys

I need to rent an apartment in July and August 2010 in Dubai. Preferably as near to the American Hospital as possible… any suggestions for where to look?

Also, if anyone has a holiday home they let out in Dubai, contact me!

Any area near Garhoud is good, Mirdiff although slightly off is a nice place to live.

Re: Dubai apartment

We have some studios and one bedroom flats in International City. If you are interested give me your budget and I will tell you if it is possible and give you contact info of my dad.

Re: Dubai apartment

they all seem so far away from the hospital!! (just been looking at google maps!)

max budget for accommodation would be around 12,000 AED for 2 months (july+august). Hopefully this will include bills (water, electricity,etc)

I don't know whether you guys think its enough or not...? if its not enough, I might not come for as long as 2 months, and do 1 month in Dubai and one month somewhere closer to home like London.

You could try for sharing accomodation... there are only villa's next to The American Hospital.

Re: Dubai apartment

Yeh sharing accomodation is what I was going to suggest as well before I looked at Gina's reply. It will be expensive renting alone.

Re: Dubai apartment

I think I wanna rent independently as my parents will be stopping over for a week or two on their way to Pakistan so it'd be handy to have a flat (or a villa!)

I'm having a look at some websites now. do you guys think the prices listed are haggle-able? or set in stone?

Rents have gone down.. u're best best would be to find a apartment in Qusais.. that's on the sharjah/dubai border. New apartments near Sahara Center and Mamzar area.

Re: Dubai apartment

gina gusais apartments n sharjah/mamzar area will be far fr the person...u shld really find hotel apartments in the area my frnd living in a hotel apartment for 5000dhs per month near burjuman centre not tht far away but still there is a good distance n in case u wana rent a car it would be around 1200dhs per month..i knw about the area well since our mosque is there ill try finding hotel apartments in tht area..tc

Re: Dubai apartment

wait for few days and see the prices go further down like thing.....

Re: Dubai apartment

which side of the road do you guys drive on? I never thought about renting a car...!

lol true

I guess I have a while since I'm not coming till July 2010 but I don't want to leave it too late either...

Yup CG he can get furnished apartments around Bur Dubai like the Golden Sands.. area :)

Re: Dubai apartment

may i ask if not too personal fr wht reason are u coming here n for how long depending i can frankly comment if u really wld need a car or not..we drive on the right unlike pakistan.

Re: Dubai apartment

no!! we drive on the left in the UK... I'd get so confused!

coming for 8 weeks (july and august) from the UK for a rotation in the American hospital (I'll be a final yr med student then!)

Re: Dubai apartment

Don't drive in Dubai if you are new comer and staying there for only 2 months or so. Traffic is fast and crazy (different than UK). Taxi's are plenty and very cheap!

Re: Dubai apartment

^ that's what I thought....

Re: Dubai apartment

taxis are cheap?????

faints

Re: Dubai apartment

TAXIS ARE CHEAP??????????????????

lol

are they not? all the more reason to find accommodation close to the hospital!
