Apartments for rent in Al Mankhool

Al Mankhool sits inside Bur Dubai, framed by Khalid bin Al Waleed Road, Sheikh Rashid Road, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, and Al Satwa Road. Kuwait Street runs through the middle. Most residential blocks are a short walk from shops, clinics, and daily services.

A flat for rent in Mankhool can range from studios to four-bedroom units. Buildings range from older low-rise stock to newer mid-rise towers. 

Median asking rents sit near 91,000 AED per year. The wider range runs from roughly 40,000 to 650,000 AED, depending on size and building age.

The resident mix skews toward working professionals and long-term renters. Retirees make up a notable share, and young professionals form a smaller group. That balance gives the streets a settled feel. It also shapes the retail: family grocers, independent cafes, casual restaurants, and small clinics rather than nightlife venues.

Renters usually pick Al Mankhool for the central Bur Dubai address, mature buildings, and steady access to BurJuman, Al Fahidi, and Dubai Creek without paying downtown rents. It suits people who want an established neighborhood with real character.

Asking prices for a flat for rent in Mankhool span roughly 40,000 to 650,000 AED a year, with the middle of the pack landing near 91,000 AED. Just over half the tenant base works full-time, retirees account for close to a third, and young professionals fill the remainder. Tenants tend to renew rather than restart the search, so turnover around Kuwait Street stays low.

Mid-rise apartment blocks carry the market, running from studios to four bedroom flats, with a small pocket of villas on Al Nada. 

Pricing lands below Downtown Dubai and DIFC for the same size, close to Al Karama and Oud Metha. The trade is older stock and squeezed visitor parking. What pays for it: two metro stations, BurJuman across the street, and a straight run to Dubai Creek.

Golden Sands 14 anchors the entry tier. Studios and 1 bedroom flats start around 40,000 AED per year, which works for solo tenants and couples who want to walk to BurJuman Metro and pick up groceries on the way home. 

Afnan Building next door leases 1 bedroom flats for about 45,000 AED. Interiors show their age, but covered parking comes with the rent, and that alone saves the daily hunt for a street bay.

BurJuman Residence wins on convenience. The lobby feeds straight into BurJuman Mall, so a grocery run or a metro trip means an elevator ride, not a walk in July heat. 2 bedroom flats lease from around 130,000 AED per year and come with a pool, gym, and concierge. 

The Waves Residences caters to families instead. Its 3 bedroom flats start near 160,000 AED, with newer finishes and a quieter address just off Kuwait Street.

Blue Diamond Building is where most working professionals land. 2 bedroom flats of roughly 1,140 to 1,195 sq ft go for 52,000 to 62,000 AED per year, and a 1 bedroom recently renewed at 40,761 AED. 

Manazil Al Mankhool 01 and Bin Hendi Tower cater to the same crowd. Tenants tend to renew rather than restart the search, mostly because ADCB Metro, Standard Chartered, and the Mankhool Road shops sit on the walking route.

Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road and Sheikh Rashid Road frame Mankhool, with Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street to the east and Al Satwa Road to the west. Kuwait Street runs through the middle. Tenants reach BurJuman in about 5 minutes by car and Downtown Dubai in around 12. Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 minutes away via Sheikh Rashid Road outside peak traffic.

The Red Line runs from ADCB Metro Station, about 820 meters from central Mankhool. BurJuman interchange links the Red and Green Lines around 1.6 km away. Bus stops at Mankhool Center Point 1 and 2, Kuwait Road 1 and 2, and Mankhool Street 12A connect residents to Karama, Al Satwa, and Oud Metha. Taxis are plentiful, so a car isn't essential for daily errands.
