I listened to this before arriving in Dubai and now listening to it a month after arriving is quite surreal. I should have taken better notes because my settling here has been exactly as described. Anyone coming over should listen to this attentively
@@fadiafarid you’re most welcome. I was actually wondering if you’re aware of short term room rentals on Dubizzle and whether or not it’s a trustworthy platform. Im looking to come on tourist visa and search for employment.
@@outdoorcat5107 I find that most platforms have some sort scammer-esque listings, including airbnb. Main thing is, you have to 1. Go view the unit in person 2. Ask for their registered broker card 3. Get them to give you the house key on the day that you sign the contract and make payment. Don’t fall for “you make payment first, and I’ll give you key later”. It’s too risky
There’s nothing that makes me happier than finding out my videos help at least one person out there 🥹 and thank you for the compliment! It means a lot to a non native speaker 😊
Thank you so much for this valuable video!! I got exactly the same mail from dubizzle so I got almost scammed. You helped me a lot! Wish you all the best!
@@williamchin7388 2% is a steal! I’m just wondering whether the % is based on the yearly rental. Let’s say the area is more central, then rent is probably higher. You’re right about the agent fee, ours is one-off too! 😊
How long does it take to get emirates id and check . If I book a short monthly studio before coming to Dubai and pay by back is there any chance of getting scammed
I made a separate video about the process of getting my emirates id th-cam.com/video/1dqMOaFDzHY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5LjZdJImVFvQwi8Y And yes, there’s a high chance of you getting scammed. Never wire any payments in advance.
Hi Fadia, Is 28000 UAE annual rent for one entire house or how big is the space ? Sam from USA, I am curious to know about housing type and cost of living for normal income people in Dubai 😊 Thank you!
I really can't say because it depends on the location. Ours is 28k per year for a 350-400 sq ft studio apartment in the Jebel Ali industrial area. It is best that you refer to the latest price trends on the Bayut, Dubizzle etc websites based on your preferred location.
@@hkhan4975 our landlord takes care of the maintenance fee to the building manager as per the tenancy contract but we pay for small, maintenance work like bulb replacement etc
It is already charged under DEWA (dubai electricity & water authority) bill. There will be a column specifically for housing and sewerage charges in there. So it’s like a 4-in-1 bill, quite convenient 😊
Thanks for the great informative videos! Please can you let me know how I can contact you, if at all possible. I require some assistance regarding Jebel Ali as I am planning on opening a business in that Free Zone.

Hi Fadia, can you share which metro is the nearest to your place? Thanks a lot❤
The agent fee is too high, speaking from experience as a Dubai resident. It should be 2% only. Also it should be one-off not yearly.
Wahhhh good to know!😮 May I know which area is that? If you don't mind sharing
@@fadiafarid it's a standard practice, not specific to any area. I suggest you don't renew next year and move to another unit that has better terms.

How about the municipality fee?
It’s included in the DEWA bill

@@fadiafarid when u rent the apartment , does it come with bed , sofa , furnitures , kitchen appliances , oven , etc ?
@@danishkhalid9193 it’s a partially furnished unit with a kitchen cabinet, fridge, oven and washing machine only. The rest we furnished ourselves
Hello Fadia can we pay these things by using Credit card
Hi! I’m not too sure about credit card payment. Usually it’s either by cheques or bank transfer
Hi Fadia, can you please share the location of your apartment. Just an area not an exact place.
Hey, we’re in the jebel ali industrial area 🙂
@@fadiafarid Ok, thanks. are you paying any monthly maintenance charges other than rental.
@@hkhan4975 our landlord takes care of the maintenance fee to the building manager as per the tenancy contract but we pay for small, maintenance work like bulb replacement etc
@@fadiafarid ok, thanks for the info.
hi, can you ask how much is monthly spend only DEWA? thank you
We spend somewhere between 190-240 aed, depending on the months (2 people household)
@@fadiafarid thx, apreciate
I would appreciate it if you can be of help ma’am, I’d love to work in Dubai
I have shared some of the job listing sites in your previous comment 🙂
Hi fadia, do you pay for municipality?
It is already charged under DEWA (dubai electricity & water authority) bill. There will be a column specifically for housing and sewerage charges in there. So it’s like a 4-in-1 bill, quite convenient 😊
