What Zabeel rents for, by layout
Every residential tenancy registered with Ejari in the last twelve months, read from the DLD areas Zaabeel Second and Zaabeel First — which also covers Dubai Design District. Annual rents, medians.
| Layout | Typical size | Median rent | New lease | Renewal | Year before | Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 B/R | 744 sqft | 120,000 | 121,000 | 120,000 | 120,000 | 374 |
| 2 B/R | 1,199 sqft | 180,000 | 185,000 | 175,000 | 180,000 | 554 |
| 3 B/R | 1,763 sqft | 271,556 | 270,000 | 280,000 | 275,000 | 190 |
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 Zabeel
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 | 154 | 2,731 | 5.6% | 554 · 73 |
| 1 B/R | 157 | 2,732 | 5.7% | 374 · 38 |
| 3 B/R | 158 | 3,113 | 5.1% | 190 · 33 |
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.

Where these numbers come from. Every rent on this page is a tenancy contract registered with Ejari, the Dubai Land Department’s rental register, read directly from the Dubai Data Exchange. It is what tenants actually agreed to pay — not asking rents, not our own estimates. Homes only: offices, shops, labour accommodation and whole-building leases are excluded, as are contracts covering several properties at one price and the register’s own typing errors. The register records the area a home sits in and, on about a quarter of contracts, the project — never the building on its own — so a community’s figures are its DLD area’s, and a building’s are its own only where the register names it. Medians are used rather than averages so one unusual contract cannot move the number. Data through 4 Sept 2026.
