How much is a 2 bedroom for rent in Dubai Marina?

Both reports use advertised rents and warn that figures may not match registered contracts. Bayut's was updated on 14 October 2026. The market is moving down: Savills reported on 13 October 2026, through Khaleej Times, that Dubai Marina apartment rents fell 12.8% year on year in Q3 2026. Property Finder's median advertised apartment rent for the whole Marina was AED 130,000 in Q3 2026, down 16.1% from AED 155,000. Use these figures as a starting point and ask for recent asking rents in your chosen tower.

What does sharing a 2 bedroom cost per person?

Dubai Marina is popular with sharers. On the dubizzle average of AED 156,000, each person pays about AED 78,000 a year, which is less than the AED 102,000 average for a 1 bedroom living alone. Both tenants should be named on the tenancy contract so each is protected. Agree in writing who pays chiller and DEWA, and how the cheques are split.

What layouts do 2 bedroom flats in the Marina have?

Marina towers differ widely in age and design. Compare the floor plan, not only the bedroom count.

• Two ensuite bedrooms suit sharers because each person has a bathroom.
• A second bedroom beside the living room gives less privacy than one at the far end of the flat.
• Balcony direction decides the view: marina, sea, Palm or road.
• Closed or open kitchen matters if you cook often.

Another common search is for a 2 bedroom with a maid's room or a study. Not every tower has them, so ask. The apartment sizes guide explains the difference between built-up and suite area.

Which Dubai Marina towers and areas should you compare?

The Marina has well over a hundred towers, so start with a short list. Our community pages include Marina Gate, Marina Promenade, Marina Pinnacle and Damac Heights. Towers along Marina Walk give you restaurants downstairs and more street noise. Towers set back from the promenade are quieter. The Dubai Marina community page lists them all, and our Dubai Marina versus JBR guide compares the nearest neighbour.

Dubai Marina has two metro stations, DMCC and Sobha Realty, and a tram linking it to Jumeirah Beach Residence and Palm Jumeirah, as described on our community page. Walk the route to the stop in summer before you sign.

What does it cost on top of the rent?

The u.ae guide to leasing says tenants pay a Dubai housing fee of 5% of annual rent, added to the electricity and water bill, and that some brokers charge up to 5% of the total rent as commission. On AED 156,000 that is AED 7,800 each. Ejari registration costs AED 177.75 online or AED 220 at a trustee centre, according to the Dubai Land Department.
