I’m an online English tutor, mostly working with students from Asia and the Middle East, so time zones were becoming a bigger factor for me. After some travel and a lot of research, I decided to relocate to Dubai and make it my long-term base.
Instead of renting, I chose to buy a small studio. I used https://dubai-real.estate/ after seeing it recommended in a few expat threads. It was helpful to compare off-plan and ready properties in one place, especially since I was still abroad at the time. I settled on a studio near Dubai Marina — close to transport and easy to rent out later if plans change.
