We started our search for finding an apartment in Dubai this weekend. We found some really great listings in the areas of town we like and in our budget too, in The Gulf News Properties section, which is one of the really well organized properties classifieds I have ever seen. All properties are divided very neatly by sale or by lease, then by part of town and then by budget. The prices are listed at the beginning of each listing and are for the entire year, so its easy to go down the list and only keep track of the ones in your price range.
The amazing thing about Dubai is that the choices are huge, and you can find a ten bedroom mansion or a studio apt even in the same building. The other interesting thing about houses and apartments in Dubai is that they usually have more bathrooms than bedrooms, quite opposite of what it is in the US and the UK. If a house has 3 bedrooms, there are usually 5 bathrooms (six if you count the maid's room). Most houses have family rooms and have one bathroom in that area, and one bathroom in the entrance hallway and attached baths to each bedroom of course. It's been in interesting experience so far and I hope to have it continue.
