Rising rents in Dubai push expats to Ajman’s relatively cheaper homes

Ajman experienced a remarkable 50% surge in lease contracts in 2024, driven by soaring rents in Dubai and Sharjah, attracting budget-conscious expatriates. With studio apartments starting at AED 22,000 annually, Ajman offers a more affordable alternative, though often requiring longer commutes. The emirate's growing infrastructure and community atmosphere contribute to its appeal as a residential option.
