We forgot to mention that there is no income tax in the UAE, so thats a huge saving! Also, our phone bills are around $81 USD each. What do you guys think? 🫣
Chiller free means that the AC cost is included in the building. Chiller free for the first year means that you will need to pay for your AC from the second year onwards if you decide to stay in the apartment.
School fees here depends really on the schools . There are different price ranges but the average starts from 20,000 To 35,000 thousand AED . From lower grades it’s starts building up with the price , but there are definitely more expensive schools that would reach way more .
Longtime listener here! I've been watching since the very early videos. Love Jasmine and Dawoud :) This video was super interesting; thank you for making this! For those of us in the US, I broke this down into monthly cost. Apartment: $2,250 Hydro/Electricity: $200 Internet: $150 Gas: $15 Health Insurance: $333.33 Car Insurance: $31.67 Going out (assuming a $40 bill once a week): $160 Groceries (assuming you go once a week): $520 This brings the monthly cost to $3,660 USD. I wanted to note that thee gas price in USD (and in gallons because the US is weird and doesn't use the metric system) is $3.40/gallon (assuming $0.9/L USD). When doing comparisons, US citizens should look at the premium gas price as opposed to unleaded gas. I hope this helps out people who are trying to break things down into a monthly cost. I'm from the midwest in the US, so my cost of living is significantly less than this. But I think if you were comparing this to New York or LA, like they said, this cost is significantly cheaper. I'd be curious to hear about cars. Are they more expensive in Dubai? Many Americans have monthly car payments so that gets factored in as well. I would also be interested in hearing about retirement options in Dubai.
Cars are cheaper. Not more expensive. I’m comparing to Canadian prices. Not overly sure about USD. They’re for sure cheaper then Canadian costs I’ve seen. Even high end vehicles are cheaper then what we pay here in Ontario
The cars here are not wayyy more expensive...They are a little bit considering the fact there are very less car factories here and they have to be Imported.
Hello Neighbours 🙂 great video! Here in this community it is common that AC costs are included in the rent, as paid by Landlord within his annual Service Charge Payments to the developer. Unless you have agreed differently in your tenancy contract, it should be free of charge for the following years too.
Great video. I’m also a Canadian from the Toronto area. I’m moving to Dubai next month and really appreciate the details about costs to expect. Hope we can connect at some point in the future. Would love to hear more about your experience and any other advice. Thanks again.
for groceries - carefour , viva , and lulu would be half the price of that, (viva is the cheapest and best quality) - for rent garhoud and town square and many other places and compounds would also be half the price of that rent. a good school would be ranging from 6-10k USD per year. internet price could be cut in half if they use a different package that still has strong wifi du and etisalat have many packages starting from 250-300 aed.
Great Vlog!!! Love these kind of videos, very informative and useful. 🥰 It's great that in Dubai you get the option to pay in one go, although it can hurt seeing it leave your account as Dawoud said 🤣 It's nice not to have to think about it for the year. - In London Rent is ridiculous (similar to Toronto and NY) for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in a ANY location expect to pay above of £3000 a month( and that's being nice.) That is not including council tax around £1300 on average a year or bills which gas and electric have skyrocketed since October. - For bills expect to pay around £150-200 a month in total. - Car Insurance average is around £500 a year (obviously depends on the car) however if you are a young first time driver expect to pay around £3000 for first person insurance and £2000 to second driver insurance! - Petrol is 161.60 pence per litre (not sure about the quality.) - Luckily we do not have to pay for healthcare which, simialr to Canada is taken out in the form of income tax taken straight out of your paycheck. - Groceries have also hit a high due to inflation, probably expect to pay £100- 200 for a simialr shop. - For a meal at a restaurant £30-40 per person is standard for the meal, drinks possibly a starter. - These are all monthly expenses, UK don't generally pay in one go. (Also these are london prices only, outside of London is much cheaper especially rent and car insurance.)
"- Luckily we do not have to pay for healthcare which, simialr to Canada is taken out in the form of income tax taken straight out of your paycheck. " So you do have to pay for it. Healthcare isn't free.
@Franklin Armstrong like they said in the video if you're employed you get free health insurance, so not necessarily they only pay it as they are business owners. I'd rather contribute a bit of money though if it means better healthcare.
@@armstrongQB1 We don’t pay for it upfront* as Jasmine described she was doing in Dubai. As I said similar to Canada we pay income tax which goes towards numerous things including healthcare which in the UK is ‘free at the point of contact’ except for dental and eye care. If you don’t understand look it up. I don’t think anyone expects healthcare to be free lol.
The one thing all must understand is that you cannot compare ur country of origin to UAE. Almost everything is imported and one has to expect the increase prices, which compensates for living in a safe country that is inclusive of many cultures and religions.
I live in the USA, In Northern Virginia, my house is large and yes it costs more, but I do pay 150/month for internet because it has to be fast and work well. I think your expenses are very reasonable for what you get.
Chiller is AC. It can get quite expensive so happy that you have the first year off! Ranges from $100-$250 monthly (ofc depending on how often you use it). All the best and welcome to the UAE!
I don't get it, Ac runs on electricity, once its installed you only pay for the electricity to run it, whats with first year free and pay the second year lol
@@haytch1598 It is possible to put the AC on it's own meter. Hot water for example is generally on it's own meter in Australia so (generally on different time of day rates), so I just imagine that's what they do. Put it on it's own meter. It's pretty simple.
Chilling system fees is similar to heating system fees just opposite. So the chilled water supplied to your AC will be calculated as per meter and at summer will be more expensive than in winter, best if the bill paid by the landlord. Also price will be different in each tower depending on maintenance of system, the meter is genal for building or separate for each apartment.
I think that’s a good price for what you get. Especially the sq ft. In Philly a 2br high rise apartment you’d only get about 800-900 sqft for $2200/2400.
Thanks for the video , really helpful. Comparison we live on a Marina in Coastal South Africa at around $400 (US), but year thats not a fair comparison. Glad to have discovered your channel , great content. Keep growing and all the best
We are in Hong Kong. Costs more here apart from Internet/phone bills. Not sure about car things as we don’t own one as renting a car park space is 775usd a month but public transport is very convenient and fairly cheap.
Thank you guys for such a detailed and informative video. You guys are awesome, I enjoy watching your videos. What were the top Three reasons which confirmed or made you moved to Dubai? Please continue to share more videos on living in Dubai and your experiences here. 💞
Here in Ajman, for the buildings we own atm starting prices are around 18-20k yearly but then you basically divide it into 4 Cheques throughout the year. The prices depends on the location and building though. You should try and have a look at Sharjah as well! In terms of gas stations there’s at least 3 near me 😂 good thing about Ajman. The health insurance seems good to me.
Never do grocery shopping in malls. Absolute rip offffff. Honestly you can save more than 50% if you travel a little bit out, like lulu hyper market and nesto. There’s a few near Dubai creek
Considering conversion rate, groceries, utilities and eating out, these things are pretty esspensive. I’m actually scared that prices will increase because SOOOO many expats are throwing the word “cheap” around whenever they move to a country where the conversion rate is inferior to their home country.
$27,000 USD translate to about $2,250 USD a month which converts to about $3,040 CAD, this is pretty standard pricing right now in Ontario across the board for most 2-3 bedroom homes and condos at roughly the same size as yours or slightly bigger, depending again where you are living, but $3000 is the average rental price at the moment.
Same as Australia. I'm in a large 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home. We pay 3K per month. Many pay a lot more in my area. It's crazy. There's no need for them to be soo expensive. Families can't afford the rent alot of the time. Heaven forbid you lose your job. They move further away and downsize to apartments or townhouses/condo's
@@jaggirl Where abouts in Australia do you live? I live in Perth in a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house and we pay $2000 AUD a month, which is the average here.
very good video! thanks for sharing, it's very helpful It would very good idea to do another video speaking more in deep about the direct and indirect costs that someone could have living there in the long term. Such as the kindergarden, school system (education)..etc Greetings!
Loved the video! Schooling in Dubai are mostly in a British Curriculum. I was born and raised in Dubai and Im 24 years old. I can definitely say that school fees in Dubai can definitely put parents in financial problems because of how expensive it is god forbid. Elhamdulilah that did not happen to our family but unfortunately I know so many friends that moved out of Dubai with their families SOLELY BECAUSE OF SCHOOL FEES. I hope inshallah when the time comes for you guys to send your kids to schools inshallah it wouldn't be the same.
@@Zazezoo local schools are cheaper but still costly for non emirati.. it’s essential to go to an international private school to have qualifications for overseas
Hey! Thank you so much for this video. I am currently debating weather I should move to Canada or Dubai… would u make a comparison video on that? 😊 Would really like some tips!
I lived in Dubai for four years, groceries, clothes and Internet/TV costs are very high compared to Europe. Standard of living and security however is very good. I guess it balances out at the end. Great video guys 🙌🏼
Chiller - cools air by transferring heat to a chilled fluid (chilled water or glycol), Typical air conditioner - cools air by transferring heat to pressurized/compressed refrigerant - same as how fridge works
I haven’t even finished the video yet but my mind is blown already! Everyone always says Dubai is so expensive but so far you guys are paying less for everything there than what my husband and I pay in VA. We pay $3,300 for rent and utilities and our health insurance is $900 a month for 2 people!!! We are gonna make this move after watching this!
I am not HVAC engineer but what is referred usually as AC is a small unit outside that is connected to one or a couple units inside this is called split type chillers I've only seen to be used in commercial buildings but I guess it's good for apartment building fir that area of the world it's basically a bigger version of AC on the roof for the entire building. Don't know if that's what you have to pay some sort of tax because it's cooling the entire building.
thank you for this video! i’m very interested in learning more about the cost of living in Dubai and just living in Dubai in general. much love to both of you! ❤
I've known families who moved out of Dubai for a reason- the Arabic people don't like people owning their own businesses so they throw them out of their job. Children's education is cheaper elsewhere aswell.
@@My_Secret_ArtSketchbookSo Arabs in Dubai don’t allow foreigners to Owen businesses and they will close it down? I don’t understand. Many from the U.K. move there for work…
I noticed your perfumes in the background in the first minutes. I neeeeeed you to describe them and your experience with them. Please! I think I even saw the new Kayali? Maybe. Looking forward to the video!
Hello! AC splits into 2 different billing system depending on the area, most older places have one bill which includes electricity and ac, however newer areas dont have the connection yet so they have chilling units which provides the service hahaha this is the easiest way to explain it
Very informative! Thank you for sharing. I live in Minnesota and we pay two bedroom luxury apartment $2250 per month. I feel like after watching this I’m ready to move to Dubai. I’ve always thought is very expensive to live Dubai.
@@Ae.teacher.because the cost of living in canada is high. The average rental cost of 2BHK is 2200 which is very expensive from common perspective. Gas prices are high they keep inflating prices of groceries, fuel and houses. Someone who is starting off and is at the initial stage will never want to be in canada
@@Sapphire635 it’s same like living in dubai and staying in arabian ranches or JVC. Depends on the places and how luxurious you like, wether it’s 2 or3BHK.
jasmine i would say for the health insurance thats a good price im also in ontario , canada, and have been looking into private health care which seems to be around 4-6k a singular person a year!.
Great video guys. Love hearing the perspective of fellow Canadians in Dubai. I’m also in the GTA. Seriously planning to do a move to Dubai in 2023. Have been debating it for at least a year now. You two moved there full time ?
Recently watched your videos and liked the vibrancy of both of you Masha Allah. Wish you good luck and our best wishes for all your future endeavours. would love to meet you all some day insha Allah with my family .
WOW I love the free ypugurt amazing ❤ in South Africa we collect points at the gas stations these points help us with groceries at the super market shop in shops where you earn free points ❤
Regarding the insurance the quote is good however I would suggest looking into what the network covers first, so for example does it cover several clinics and hospitals (such as mediclinic, medcare, prime, American hospital, nmc …etc). The reason I’m saying this is because there are several insurances that may not cover well known and trusted clinics depending on your category. The best insurance in my opinion is daman
That is insanely cheap!!! I life in Central Florida and I definitely pay more on average for everything you showed. 1/1 apartments where I live around $1800. 2/2 are about $2200 or more and health insurance for a couple is about $700 a month with a large deductible.
I would say this is quite expensive. I am born and raised here but currently live in Sharjah. To match the Canadian lifestyle maybe it’s okay. Rent in Sharjah is super cheap (we pay less than half of 100k) but ofc you would need to compromise on the nice apartment and views for it. I would say you would need a good flow of income to live a comfortable (dubai ) life here. Alsoo lots of love to you jasmine and dawoud! Still waiting for the day to bump into you guys!
do you know how much is the rent in abu dhabi for two bedroom furnished apt? doesn't have to be in a posh area. how long does it take to find a job in abu dhabi? roughly for a family of 4, how much monthly expense should be expected?
Imagine how much they could save if they didn't have the luxury apartment within walking distance to everything. I don't understand why people move to these countries to work and pay all those high expenses. I know the wages are good. But I'd want to save. That's the only reason I'd go overseas to work.
We forgot to mention that there is no income tax in the UAE, so thats a huge saving! Also, our phone bills are around $81 USD each. What do you guys think? 🫣
Can you please share the link to where to find apartments for rent around the same price as $2000/$2300
Salaam alaykum, Is that monthly? Probably but just checking since things are either super cheap or normalish pricing
I personally pay much less (prepaid du). Ofc, depends on your consumption.
I’m from the US (NY to be exact) and I pay little over $100!

I've known families who moved out of Dubai for a reason- the Arabic people don't like people owning their own businesses so they throw them out of their job. Children's education is cheaper elsewhere aswell.
@@My_Secret_ArtSketchbookSo Arabs in Dubai don’t allow foreigners to Owen businesses and they will close it down?
I don’t understand. Many from the U.K. move there for work…
I like the 1 Shot payment!
wonderful video!
Great video, thanks 🙏
Hey guys! love the video. Just for reference I am watching you guys from Kitchener ON and renting a BASEMENT here is around 2k CAD on average.
I noticed your perfumes in the background in the first minutes. I neeeeeed you to describe them and your experience with them. Please! I think I even saw the new Kayali? Maybe. Looking forward to the video!
Yes I got the new Kayali!! 👀
Very good content. Well done guys
Trust me! Paying things in one lump sum is way way better. It tends to keep you out of debt because you cannot buy what you cannot afford😀
Not true for everyone.
What a beautiful couple ❤️
Your the best Jazz and David ❤
A chiller is a type of HVAC equipment. It means they are using chilled water to cool your house.
Hello! AC splits into 2 different billing system depending on the area, most older places have one bill which includes electricity and ac, however newer areas dont have the connection yet so they have chilling units which provides the service hahaha this is the easiest way to explain it
Hi Hanan, dp you live in Dubai? I'd like some help please.
Very informative! Thank you for sharing. I live in Minnesota and we pay two bedroom luxury apartment $2250 per month. I feel like after watching this I’m ready to move to Dubai. I’ve always thought is very expensive to live Dubai.
Part 2 please for tourist places
Thanks for making this video guys. Me and wife are thinking of moving from Canada to UAE, so it was nice to see a Canadian perspective on life in 🇦🇪.
Are they Canadians ?
Why would someone leave canada and move to uae?
@@Ae.teacher.because the cost of living in canada is high. The average rental cost of 2BHK is 2200 which is very expensive from common perspective. Gas prices are high they keep inflating prices of groceries, fuel and houses. Someone who is starting off and is at the initial stage will never want to be in canada
@@Sapphire635 it’s same like living in dubai and staying in arabian ranches or JVC. Depends on the places and how luxurious you like, wether it’s 2 or3BHK.
@@Ae.teacher. Taxes.
jasmine i would say for the health insurance thats a good price im also in ontario , canada, and have been looking into private health care which seems to be around 4-6k a singular person a year!.
Great video guys. Love hearing the perspective of fellow Canadians in Dubai. I’m also in the GTA. Seriously planning to do a move to Dubai in 2023. Have been debating it for at least a year now. You two moved there full time ?
Also in Gta and would love to live in Arab world
Recently watched your videos and liked the vibrancy of both of you Masha Allah. Wish you good luck and our best wishes for all your future endeavours. would love to meet you all some day insha Allah with my family .
Should defo do vlog from Deira downtown Dubai....lots of Asian food there
WOW I love the free ypugurt amazing ❤ in South Africa we collect points at the gas stations these points help us with groceries at the super market shop in shops where you earn free points ❤
Regarding the insurance the quote is good however I would suggest looking into what the network covers first, so for example does it cover several clinics and hospitals (such as mediclinic, medcare, prime, American hospital, nmc …etc). The reason I’m saying this is because there are several insurances that may not cover well known and trusted clinics depending on your category. The best insurance in my opinion is daman
The quote we got covers most good hospitals. I think the company is called dubai international insurace. But we are still shopping around.
Love the video, apologies for the correct. Mohalla is in DDD (Dubai Design District) and not DIFC (Dubai International Financial Center)
I’m in the u.s and yeah the rent price is good. In Miami the rent is about $3k $3,500 for a 2 bedroom
4,000 for both of you is not bad, depending on the benefits, copays and deductibles if applicable. That's like 167.00 per month each. Not bad.
Dawoud is so happy with his free Pinkberry LMAO
That is insanely cheap!!! I life in Central Florida and I definitely pay more on average for everything you showed. 1/1 apartments where I live around $1800. 2/2 are about $2200 or more and health insurance for a couple is about $700 a month with a large deductible.
Wilmington, Nc here and SAME.
Why are you paying for car insurance. Plus, that’s 84000 dollars in ten years and 168000 in 20 years. Just buy a new car if old one gets damaged.
@@Anon-uv9mj insurance in America and many countries around the world is mandatory
love ur videos mashallah
I would say this is quite expensive. I am born and raised here but currently live in Sharjah. To match the Canadian lifestyle maybe it’s okay. Rent in Sharjah is super cheap (we pay less than half of 100k) but ofc you would need to compromise on the nice apartment and views for it. I would say you would need a good flow of income to live a comfortable (dubai ) life here. Alsoo lots of love to you jasmine and dawoud! Still waiting for the day to bump into you guys!
do you know how much is the rent in abu dhabi for two bedroom furnished apt? doesn't have to be in a posh area. how long does it take to find a job in abu dhabi? roughly for a family of 4, how much monthly expense should be expected?
Is Sharjah a good place basee on your experience?
What is the renting price of a good 2-3 bedrooms in a nice area in Sharjah?
Thanks in advance..
Imagine how much they could save if they didn't have the luxury apartment within walking distance to everything.
I don't understand why people move to these countries to work and pay all those high expenses. I know the wages are good. But I'd want to save. That's the only reason I'd go overseas to work.
As born and raised I had thought that too but then truth came out about them and then left
More info on sharjah plz
We pay 375 JD a month for a never-lived-in-before 125 square meter apartment and this is considered expensive in Jordan
My husband says the chiller works with the water, whereas the a/c works with freon. It is a cooling system.
Gas and liquids are used as coolants in the HVACR industry.
that price for healthcare seems good for full coverage. about $166 per person per month. my brother pays $500/ month for full coverage
Geant is one among the expensive places to get grocery. I’d suggest going to places like carefour or lulu hyper market.
17:24 u guys def need to bring that back I miss it 🥹❤❤
I’m from New York and actually for a house like yours (new, big, etc..) it’s about the same price but it varies ❤ love u guys
