What each size costs in Dubai Maritime City
Typical size and price for every bedroom count. A size with at least 15 recorded sales is well evidenced; a size with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales behind it. The Dubai Land Department records the number of bedrooms on nearly every sale, so these figures come from real sales, not estimates. The main price is for the last 12 months. The typical price across every sale on record sits under it.
Rent: the typical rent on new lets, matched by bedrooms or by size.

What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Dubai Maritime City over the same twelve months. Rents come from Ejari rent contracts and prices from recorded sales. Off-plan sales are left out of the price, because rent is paid on built homes and off-plan sells at a premium. A red (i) marks a figure that rests on few records, with how many.
| Size | Price now, ready homes | Rents for | Yield before costs | Ready sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 1.73M | AED 75,000/yrby bedroom · 170 new lets | 4.3% | 19 |
| 2 beds | AED 2.6M | AED 110,000/yrby bedroom · 182 new lets | 4.2% | 27 |
| 3 beds | AED 5.19M | AED 145,000/yrby bedroom · 27 new lets | 2.8% | 7 |
Among the sizes with enough sales, the highest yield before costs here is on a 1 bed at 4.3%. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 2-bedroom apartments: 4.3% against 4.2%.
What it returns after service charges
We have no recorded budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder, not a measured figure. The real number is on your service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Yield before costs | Yield after service charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 11,644 | AED 63,356 | 4.3% | 3.7% |
| 2 beds | AED 19,039 | AED 90,961 | 4.2% | 3.5% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about Dubai Maritime City
How much is rent in Dubai Maritime City?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Dubai Maritime City is AED 75,000/yr for a 1-bedroom, AED 110,000/yr for a 2-bedroom and AED 145,000/yr for a 3-bedroom. These rents come from the rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) in Dubai Maritime City over the last twelve months. They are what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Each rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one, which most contracts do, and by floor area where it does not. Each row on this page says which.
How much do properties cost in Dubai Maritime City?
The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) for residential sales in Dubai Maritime City was AED 3,199/sqft over the 30 days to 7 October 2026, from the 119 sales recorded so far for those days. Late records are still arriving, so that count can grow. Over the 12 months to 7 October 2026, homes here typically sold for about AED 2.45M and measured about 799 sqft (3,555 sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices.
What rental yield does Dubai Maritime City give?
The yield before costs on ready homes in Dubai Maritime City is about 4.3% on a 1-bedroom apartment and 4.2% on a 2-bedroom apartment. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 2-bedroom apartments: 4.3% against 4.2%. Service charges, agency commission and empty periods are not taken off, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Is Dubai Maritime City freehold?
Yes. Every unit in Dubai Maritime City whose ownership type is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 19,013 units for the area.
Is Dubai Maritime City mostly off-plan or completed homes?
98% of the 3,555 sales recorded in Dubai Maritime City in the 12 months to 7 October 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. The two sell at different prices, so one price per square foot for both together would describe neither.
Prices by quarter, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026
Typical sale price per sqft in Dubai Maritime City, by calendar quarter of the sale date, with ready homes and off-plan sales kept apart. Only complete quarters are shown. A quarter with 60 or more sales is well evidenced; one with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales, and no change against a year earlier is worked out from it.
| Quarter | Ready homes · typical price per sqft | vs a year earlier | Off-plan · typical price per sqft |
|---|---|---|---|

Q3 2026 holds 9 ready sales against about 17 in each of the three quarters before it: sales for it are still being recorded, and its typical price will settle in later months.
The typical price moves with the mix of homes that sold, not only with prices.
