Your Guide to Studio Apartments for Rent in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates has become a top choice for professionals and individuals seeking quality living arrangements at reasonable prices. For singles and working professionals moving to the region, studios for rent in the UAE present an ideal option that balances privacy, convenience, and affordability without the expense of multi-bedroom units.

Each of the seven emirates offers distinct living experiences. Dubai delivers a dynamic, cosmopolitan environment with premium facilities, while Abu Dhabi presents a more relaxed capital city atmosphere. Budget-conscious renters often turn to Sharjah and Ajman, where housing costs remain lower, yet proximity to Dubai's business districts stays manageable. From waterfront properties on Maryam Island to urban units in Business Bay, the market accommodates various preferences and budgets.

Market Overview

Rental prices and unit dimensions vary widely based on emirate, neighborhood, and furnishing status. Most UAE studios for rent measure between 330 and 660 square feet, though certain Sharjah properties can reach 1,000 square feet.

Dubai's market serves diverse budgets, with annual rents beginning around AED 20,000. A basic unit in Al Baraha, Deira (approximately 350 sq ft) rents for about AED 30,000 yearly. Mid-tier furnished options in Jumeirah Village Circle average AED 60,000 annually for 437 square feet, while luxury furnished properties in Al Jaddaf can reach AED 110,000 per year.

Abu Dhabi offers competitive entry points starting at AED 14,000 annually. A 482-square-foot studio in Al Ghadeer typically costs around AED 50,000 per year.

Sharjah and Ajman stand out for space and value. Sharjah rentals begin near AED 17,000 annually, with spacious 1,000 sq ft units in Al Butina available for approximately AED 18,000. Premium sea-view properties in Maryam Island rent for about AED 35,000. In Ajman, 600 sq ft studios in Ajman Hills or along the Corniche typically range between AED 18,000 and AED 25,000 per year.
