How much does it cost to live in Dubai for a month? Hotel apartment: 4,000 UUD Taxis: 50 UUD * 30 UUD = 1,500 UUD Golf: 300 UUD Meals (Chinese): 700 UUD Monthly expenses: 6,500 UUD Accommodation is expensive. Winter is peak tourist season in Dubai, so demand is high. This is especially true for short-term rentals like mine. Long-term rentals are half the price. Public transportation in Dubai is terrible. Everything is so far away, I have to take a taxi every time. I regret not having a driver's license. 😭 I usually cook noodles for myself for meals, and occasionally eat out or treat friends. A typical outing costs 50-100 UUD.
