RENTING IN THE NORTHERN EMIRATES Ajman is among the cheapest places to rent an apartment in the UAE, with apartment prices asking just AED 25 per square foot and villas asking AED 20 per square foot. Ras Al Khaimah’s newer Al Marjan Island is nearly twice as expensive, asking AED 48 per square foot for an apartment. But compared to Dubai prices, Al Marjan Island is still a relative bargain, costing around half the price on a square footage basis as places like City Walk, Dubai Marina, and DIFC.
