      Finding a flat for rent in Deira

      deira from above daytime

      Deira is one of the oldest areas of Dubai, situated north of the Dubai Creek, and is known for being the original commercial hub of the city. It is famous for its souks (Gold Souk, Spice Souk, Fish Market) as well as its many alleys and side streets dotted with shops selling clothes, shoes, electronics, hardware, perfumes, and toys.

      Like parts of Bur Dubai, it is densely populated and contains mostly apartment buildings and commercial retail spaces. The apartments for rent in Deira are affordable due to the age of most buildings, traffic congestion, and Deira’s proximity to the airport. This makes it a popular area for people looking for cheap flats for rent in Dubai.

      Deira has many iconic buildings, including the Deira Twin Towers (with the Rolex logo), the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, the Etisalat Head Office, and the Emirates NBD Head Office.

      Popular Areas to find an apartment for rent in Deira

      Apartments in Al Rigga and the flats in Muraqqabat are always popular, as are the buildings around Baniyas Square, Port Saeed, and Al Mamzar.

      Residents of Deira make good use of public transportation, as traffic in the area can sometimes be quite intense. There are many metro stations in the area, such as City Center Deira Metro Station, Salah Al Din Metro Station, Baniyas Square Station, Al Rigga Metro Station, Union Metro Station, Gold Souq Metro Station, and Al Ras Metro Station.

      Another unique form of transportation in Deira is the Abra. Abras are traditional boats that ferry passengers across the creek between Deira and Bur Dubai, and these are very affordable, with most trips costing just 1 dirham. 

      As for shopping, Deira is home to City Centre Deira, which is very popular with residents along with many other smaller malls like Souq Naif, Al Manal Centre, Gargash Centre, and many others.

      Types of Apartments for Rent in Deira

      Flats for rent in Deira are usually compact and are available as studios and 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments. Larger 4-bedroom apartments are sometimes available but are typically in short supply. Living in Deira is suited to young professionals and workers, couples, and small families; however, it should be noted that the flats for rent in Deira are quite small.

      Many buildings have remained much the same since they were built; however, they are clean and often get repainted on the inside. Some buildings may contain a gym, pool, or both, but these are not nearly as common as they are in newer areas in Dubai. With that said, you can easily find cheap apartments for rent in Dubai Deira.

      Due to the affordability of rental flats in Deira, they rarely stay vacant and are quickly snapped up. Any prospective tenant must act fast when looking for a flat for rent in Deira. Most of Deira’s flats are unfurnished. However, apartments in some of the newer developments near the creek and on the outskirts of Deira sometimes come partially or fully furnished, which is convenient and tends to increase the rental amount.

      What to do if something goes wrong with your apartment for rent in Deira?

      For any issues with landlords that cannot be resolved, tenants can file a rental dispute case with the Rental Disputes Committee headquartered in Deira. Most disputes arise through unlawful rental increases so it helps to check the RERA rental increase calculator to know if a proposed rental increase is allowed or not.

      Renting an apartment in Dubai is exciting in itself, but Deira offers something on a whole new level. If you don’t mind compact, cozy living in a part of town that is always busy, then renting a flat in Deira will suit you just fine!
