The Right Time To Visit Dubai

If you can afford it, it is always the right time to visit Dubai city. But when you are looking to spend your hard earned money exclusively, it makes more sense to check whether the season and the festival taking place out there at that moment are one among your interests.

The months of January and February are the best if you like shopping and a festive atmosphere. Many Dubai tour companies provide discounts on all their tours and activities during this season, especially on their shopping tours in Dubai, as these are the main shopping months on the Dubai events calendar. This is the time millions of people from different countries are in Dubai city, as the Dubai Shopping Festival organized out here is known to be one of the grandest festivities in the world.

At AED 120 per adult and AED 90 per child, you Dubai shopping tour will begin with an orientation of the shopping wonders in the city. You will be able to shop at the famous Bur Dubai, a place of luxury tourism and shopping. Tourists are usually also taken to the City Centre. City Centre is one of the biggest malls in Deira Dubai. The souks in Dubai are an experience you can’t afford to miss after travelling to Dubai all the way from your home town. Walking through or shopping at the souk area in Dubai is equivalent to glancing through the traditions, the history of the city and the beliefs of the Arabs. The ambience, the bargains, the souk culture and the hospitality of the Arabs at the gold souk, the spice souk, the carpet souk and the night souk become memorable memories for travelers to cherish.

Dubai has a constant inflow of foreign nationals who land up in the city as expatriates or as shopping enthusiasts in the look out for some good bargain from Dubai’s tax-free shopping joints.

For any one of the two reasons above, it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to find property for rent in Dubai. At times the cost of accommodation can be so high that you may end up spending more than half of your earning as rental for the house that you stay in. This holds equally true for businesses that need property for rent in Dubai to set up offices and workspaces. Thankfully, the Dubai administration has tried to regulate the rents by passing a legislation that stipulates that no rent increase can exceed 5 percent of the annual lease amount of a property.

Things to be kept in mind before giving in to an option of property for rent in Dubai

• Typically, for a lease agreement you will need a residence visa or documents stating that you are in the process of getting such a visa.
• The agreement includes refundable security deposit and other components such as monthly utilities and charges for the local bodies such as municipality.
• In Dubai, it is a common practice to pay the annual rent through 2 or 3 checks as opposed to the monthly payments in other countries. The payment can be done through post-dated checks as well.
• Unless for some conspicuous reasons, the lease agreement is deemed to be renewal and landlord has to give some very strong reasons to terminate it otherwise.

While looking for property for rent or apartments for sale in Dubai, it is equally important to pay considerable attention to the location as well. New and Old Dubai standing on the either side of Creek Deira provides some excellent location for setting up your home. Places like Deira Dubai, Garhoud, Mirdiff, Bur Dubai and Downtown Deira provide attractive living spaces that stand at close proximity to all the major amenities of the city.

For home, choose a property that is close to a good school for your kids as well as is near to your office and workspace as commuting to large distances can eat up a great amount of time. Those who are frequent flyers should try getting a place close to the Dubai International Airport.

If I buy in Dubai property and I can not have anybody with me in my home, it is not logic and stupid, that my girl friend can not live with me in my own Dubai property, WOWW!!!??? So, some body said, that freehold areas of Dubai is not under restrictions, like Deira dubai or Bur Dubai. Any way any info welcome!!! I am french and still in france before jumoing to Dubai.

I will then consider of renting apartment in Dubai, or looking for apartments for sale in Dubai. Prior to that, cozy accommodation Dubai apartment is my choice.

Dubai: The Government of Dubai has published for the first time the locations where expatriates will be able to buy property in the emirate.

His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, has issued the three-page, five-article Order No. 3 of 2006 designating areas for expatriates who can enjoy freehold ownership in Dubai, published in the government’s official gazette on July 3, 2006 – a copy of which was obtained by Gulf News yesterday.

The much-awaited list includes 23 areas and 45 plots including Jebel Ali, the Palm Island projects, The World islands, Dubai Marina, Emirates Hills and Al Barsha, among others.

The new regulations follow the issuance in March of the Property Registration Law (No. 7), legalising freehold ownership of land and property to UAE and GCC nationals as well as non-GCC citizens to own freehold property in designated areas.

Gulf News earlier published a report on the possible locations where expatriates could own freehold properties. The gazette confirms and elaborates the list.

More than 15,000 expatriates have already moved into their freehold homes since Dubai opened its property sector to expatriates in 2002, of which 14,000 were developed by Emaar Properties. About 5,000 more people are expected to move in this year.

In the absence of the freehold law, buyers’ rights were dictated by the purchase documents backed by a government guarantee extended to the three master developers namely Emaar Properties, Nakheel and Dubai Holding entities including Tecom, Dubai Properties and Sama Dubai.

Full rights

The move will pave the way for legal registration of properties in the name of expatriate owners with full freehold rights including the title deed, said Mohammad Sultan Thani, Director of Development and Marketing at the Dubai Land Department.

“Before, we only registered buyers who were UAE and GCC nationals. Now, we can start officially registering properties in designated areas in the name of expatriates who bought them from developers,” said Thani.

Thani was confident they could cope with the rush, but advised property owners to deal with their developers to arrange for speedy registration.

“Registrations are to be handled by companies on behalf of clients so it takes only two to three minutes for each property.” He said the Department can register between 100 and 200 properties at a time if all the relevant paperwork has been completed.

Before the law was published, there had been a lot of speculative activity in the property market. However, title deeds in individual names were being issued unofficially, with some properties being bought and sold many times over.

“Those who want to sell their property after initial registration may need about 30 minutes, if all papers are ready and if they are to register the sale individually,” Thani said.

The England football team’s former skipper David Beckham and Indian Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, are among some of the world’s prominent figures known to have bought property in Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah.

Industry experts told Gulf News the new regulations did not offer any surprises, but they awaited further clarification.

“It’s as we expected it to be. This list offered neither surprises nor disappointments,” said Sydene Helwicq, property lawyer at Al Tamimi law firm.

“We are still in the process of identifying with relevant authorities which of the plots relate to which property,” said Helwicq.

Mohammad Nimer, director of MAG Group, welcomed the announcement. “We never had any doubts that Dubai would fulfil its commitments. This will cement confidence in the property industry.”

The list did not surprise Safdar Khan, Business Development Manager at Dubai Property Centre.
He said: “We expected all these areas to be in the list before the new regulations were issued.”
