What would this size cost?
Enter the size from the brochure or the floor plan. We price it against what homes of that size actually sold for in The Dunes — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall typical price, which mixes every size together.

What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in The Dunes over the same twelve months. Prices are this project’s own recorded ready-home sales. Off-plan sales are left out because rent is paid on built homes. Rents marked this building are new rent contracts recorded in The Dunes itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Silicon Oasis, used where Ejari did not name the building. 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 662.5K | AED 58,000/yrthis building · 40 new lets | 8.8% | 14 |
| 2 beds | AED 1.38M | AED 108,000/yrsame size in Silicon Oasis · 91 new lets | 7.9% | 4 |
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price. In a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. Worked out with the typical price across every sale on record (AED 546K), a 1 bed here reads 10.6% instead of 8.8%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 662.5K a completed one costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months, and completed homes only, on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
Starting from this building’s own owners’ association budget for 2026 — AED 14/sqft, as recorded with the Land Department. Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Yield before costs | Yield after service charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 11,549 | AED 46,451 | 8.8% | 7.0% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
Reserve fund: AED 1/sqft of the AED 14.4/sqft recorded for 2026.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about The Dunes
How much does a home in The Dunes cost?
Over the last twelve months, the typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) of a completed home in The Dunes was AED 662.5K for a 1-bedroom (14 ready sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices. Only completed homes are counted: off-plan sales are left out, because they sell at a premium and are not the same purchase.
How much is rent in The Dunes?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in The Dunes is AED 58,000/yr for a 1-bedroom (40 new tenancies recorded in The Dunes itself). These rents come from the new rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) over the last twelve months. They are what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Ejari names the building on these contracts, so every figure above is a tenancy recorded in The Dunes itself.
What rental yield does The Dunes give?
The yield before costs on completed homes in The Dunes is about 8.8% on a 1-bedroom. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. Rent and price both come from the same period, which is why these read lower than yields quoted against an all-time average price. 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 The Dunes selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 21 home sales recorded in The Dunes in the 12 months to 19 Aug 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. That period ends at this project's own newest recorded home sale rather than today, so a development that finished selling years ago still reports the year it was actually trading.
When did The Dunes start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 376 home sales in The Dunes. The earliest was recorded in Sep 2009 and the newest in Aug 2026. That is when a home sale here was first recorded. It is not the same as when the project launched or completed: the register of sales carries no build date, so we do not publish one.

Handover competition
Moderate competitionWhen The Dunes handed over in March 2009, 4 other projects in Silicon Oasis had a handover date on record within six months either side — a reference point for how crowded that period was. The Land Department's projects file of 15 Jun 2026 lists 13 other projects in Silicon Oasis as not yet finished. None of the 4 listed below is among them.

Buying in The Dunes?
Everything above is free and stays free. What this page cannot tell you is what your unit is worth — the typical price here covers every size at once, and a two-bedroom can be 1,062 or 1,558 sqft. Our report matches comparable sales to one unit's size, and adds the three checks that need a person to look things up in the Land Department's own systems on the day: the agent's licence, the project's escrow, and its registered status.
