Where to find a cheap studio in Dubai

International City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Discovery Gardens and Dubai Sports City consistently have the lowest studio rents. JVC and Arjan cost a little more but offer newer buildings with pools and gyms. We compare them in detail in the cheapest areas to rent a studio.

A furnished studio costs more but saves the upfront cost of furniture and appliances — often the right choice for your first year.

Can I rent a studio in Dubai with monthly payments?
