Cost of living in the United Arab Emirates in 2025

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

Every year, we invite you to share your experiences with the cost of living in in the United Arab Emirates, especially in the region or city you live in. Your insights will greatly help members planning their move to the United Arab Emirates or already living there.

Here are some points to guide you; the idea is to provide average prices for each category:

What is the cost of renting or buying an apartment or house in the United Arab Emirates?

What are the typical fares for public transportation such as buses, subways, trains, trams, or taxis?

Could you share the average monthly cost of your grocery shopping?

How much does health insurance cost? What is the price of a medical consultation in the United Arab Emirates?

What are the tuition fees for children?

What are the average monthly costs for utilities, such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and phone plans?

How much do you spend monthly on leisure activities?

If there are other expenses you find relevant, please feel free to share them!

Thank you for your contribution.

I'm new. But even I noticed higher prices here for every day items, including accomodation.

Unless you get paid very, very well, it's definitely better to have your accomodation covered by your employer.
