Visa & Mortgage Fit
Select an area and run the check to see a simple view of how your profile may fit typical Dubai mortgage and visa expectations.
Tax & Cost of Living
The UAE currently does not levy personal income tax on salaries for individuals, but there is a 5% Value Added Tax (VAT) on most goods and services. Housing, schooling and lifestyle costs vary strongly by area.
Schools & Family Life
Tell us if schools are a priority and pick your area to see whether it is typically considered strong for families and daily school runs.
Pet-Friendly Pockets
Many buildings have their own pet rules. We'll highlight areas that are generally known for villas, parks and dog-friendly communities – but always double-check building policies and community rules.
Car Parking & Transportation Tips
Some areas are built around the Dubai Metro, while others are very car-centric with community parking. Choose an area to see practical commute tips.
