Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

hi, I am currently sorting out the visa thingy and would probably move to dubai around early october 2006. family will follow in january 2007.

until december 2006, is it better to find a shared accomodation [renting a room] or should i rent a studio or 1 bedroom apartment or do i have alternative choice.

Reading the postings in this forum, looks like staying in hotel for extended period is rather expensive.

appreciate any good suggestion. and if you have any spare room to let, let me know. i will be working in deira area and my budget is around 3,500dh per month until dec.

thanks.
