By contrast, Downtown Dubai (AED 117 per sq ft), the most expensive neighborhood to rent, is a whopping 31% more costly than the emirate’s median.
The biggest drop in asking price for apartments for sale was in The Views (-5.2%), knocking it off the Top 5 list of most expensive. Still not a bargain, though, at AED 1543 per sq ft.
