Every residential tenancy registered with Ejari in the last twelve months, read from Dubai Festival City. Annual rents, medians.

A renewal is held to the RERA rental index; a new lease is what the market asked that month. Layouts with fewer than ten contracts in the year are left out — too few to quote a median, so we do not guess at one.
Rent against price
Gross yield in Dubai Festival City
The recorded rent per square foot a year over the recorded resale price per square foot, for the same layout in the same twelve months. Both sides from the register — neither is an asking figure.
| Layout | Rent / sq ft / year | Sale / sq ft | Gross yield | Contracts · sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 B/R | 91 | 1,626 | 5.6% | 301 · 20 |
Gross: before service charges, agency fees and any months empty between tenants. Completed homes only on the sale side — an off-plan price has no tenant yet.
