Cheapest Dubai suburb to rent studio, one-bed apartment

If you are scouting for the cheapest rental deal in Dubai, look at three communities - Dubailand, Dubai Silicon Oasis and International Media and Production Zone (IMPZ).

Although new tenants can have a glance at the official rent index and be content with lower rates, remember, in their case the landlords dictate the rents. Only existing tenants are protected by the rent index cap, which Emirates 24|7 reported is being updated once a year now.
